发明名称 Methods and systems for assigning e-keys to users to access and drive vehicles
摘要 Methods and systems are provided. One method includes receiving a request, at a server, to grant e-keys to a recipient for use of a vehicle, the vehicle being pre-associated to a user account. The method further includes generating a unique access code, at the server, in response to receiving the request. The method then encrypts the access code, at the server, using a vehicle public key associated with the vehicle, the vehicle public key is associated with the user account. The method includes sending the encrypted access code to the recipient for receipt by a device of the recipient. The encrypted access code is defined for transmission to the vehicle by way of the device of the recipient, and the encrypted access code is associated with instructions to cause the vehicle to decrypt the access code using a private key of the vehicle and to transmit the access code after decryption back to the device of the recipient along with privilege settings for the use of the vehicle. The access code received from the vehicle functions as e-keys for the vehicle that enable access to use of the vehicle in accordance with conditions defined in the privilege settings.

主权项 1. A method, comprising, receiving a request, at a server, to grant e-keys to a recipient for use of a vehicle, the vehicle being pre-associated to a user account; generating a unique access code, at the server, in response to receiving the request, wherein the unique access code is generated at a time after receipt of the request; encrypting the access code, at the server, using a vehicle public key associated with the vehicle, the vehicle public key is associated with the user account; and sending the encrypted access code to the recipient for receipt by a device of the recipient, wherein the encrypted access code is defined for transmission to the vehicle by way of the device of the recipient, and the encrypted access code being associated with instructions to cause the vehicle to decrypt the access code using a private key of the vehicle and to transmit the access code after decryption back to the device of the recipient along with privilege settings for the use of the vehicle, the access code received from the vehicle functioning as e-keys for the vehicle that enable access to use of the vehicle in accordance with conditions defined in the privilege settings, wherein the e-keys enable graphical icons on a screen of the device to be active for use of the vehicle, at least one or more of the graphical icons on the screen enabling unlocking of the vehicle, turning on of the vehicle, or locking the vehicle, wherein the method is executed by a processor.
