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 then 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 method includes various aspects such as storing the user token on an electronic device or key fob, authenticating based on proximity to the vehicle using wireless communication protocols, locking access after a driving trip or in the absence of the user token, and differentiating between private and non-private user settings. Additionally, the method involves obtaining settings offsets, baseline settings, and mapping between vehicle models to apply user settings accurately. The patent also covers scenarios like removing user settings in response to specific events like the end of a rental contract or user deletion. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for managing and transferring user settings between vehicles efficiently and securely.
