Geo-Proximity Vehicle Alert and Access System for Security and Package Exchange Efficiency

摘要

A geo-proximity Vehicle Alert and Access System (VAAS) is discussed that has a cloud based server having a GPS-based proximity system to control and track a package exchange process, to speed up a package delivery and pick-up process, and to ensure security for the package exchange process. The cloud based server is configured to receive both current GPS coordinates of a package carrier's vehicle and current GPS coordinates of a target vehicle for at least one of package delivery to the target vehicle and package pick up from the target vehicle. The cloud based server is configured to send to the target vehicle the commands to wake-up an on-board telematics module, to give an alert, to unlock the target vehicle, and to lock the target vehicle after receiving a confirmation of the package exchange process.

主权项

1. A geo-proximity Vehicle Alert and Access System (VAAS), comprising:
a cloud based server having a Global Positioning System (GPS) based proximity system having one or more processors configured to execute instructions to control and track a package exchange process, to speed up a package delivery and pick-up process, and to ensure security for the package exchange process; and where the GPS-based proximity system is configured to receive both current GPS coordinates of a client device associated with a package carrier's vehicle from the client device and current GPS coordinates of a target vehicle for at least one of i) package delivery to the target vehicle and ii) package pick up from the target vehicle, where the GPS-based proximity system is further configured to send to the target vehicle one or more commands 1) to wake-up an on-board actuation module in the target vehicle while in a close proximity established by a first threshold distance between the package carrier's vehicle and the target vehicle, 2) to give an alert from the target vehicle while in a close proximity established by a second threshold distance between the package carrier's vehicle and the target vehicle, 3) to unlock a door including a trunk of the target vehicle, and 4) established by a fourth threshold distance to lock the doors of the target vehicle after receiving a confirmation of the package exchange process from the client device associated with the package carrier's vehicle.
