Application: System and method for portable user and vehicle settings (Patent ID: US20240075902A1)
The patent filed by BlackBerry Ltd. describes a computer-implemented method for applying user settings to a vehicle. The method involves receiving user settings for a first vehicle at a second vehicle, locking access to the user settings on the second vehicle, and unlocking access based on authenticating a user token and verifying the user's identity. The user settings are then applied to the second vehicle by synthesizing them from the first vehicle. The user token can be stored on an electronic device or a key fob, and authentication can be based on proximity using wireless communication protocols like WiFi, RFID, Bluetooth™, or NFC.
Additionally, the method includes features such as locking access to user settings after a driving trip, obtaining settings offsets for comparison, and removing user settings in response to specific events like the end of a rental contract or user deletion. The patent also covers a device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for implementing the method steps outlined in the claims. Overall, the patent focuses on a secure and efficient way to transfer and apply user settings between vehicles based on user authentication and synthesis techniques.
