Vehicle data management for a fleet of vehicles
The patent US12045601B1 outlines a method and system for managing vehicle data within a fleet, emphasizing a hierarchical environment for data management. The method begins with obtaining a policy profile that includes specific actions and priority levels for data management. This profile is then published downstream to various vehicles in the fleet through agents, which can be deployed in the vehicles or their components. The vehicles communicate data upstream according to the defined actions and priority levels, allowing for structured data management across different levels of the hierarchy. The policy profile can also specify whether to capture and communicate object data, the timing of data communication, and the use of specific communication modalities.
Additionally, the system includes a policy profile manager that generates and manages the dynamic policy profiles, ensuring end-to-end data transfer within the hierarchical structure. The agents associated with the vehicles adjust operations based on the actions and priority levels defined in the policy profiles. This system allows for dynamic updates to vehicle operations, including data transfer, navigation, and user preferences, while ensuring that existing vehicle operations remain unaffected by new features introduced through the policy profiles. The hierarchical environment may also encompass regional levels, enabling tailored data management strategies based on geographical considerations. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for efficient vehicle data management in a fleet setting.
