SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAST VEHICULAR MICRO CLOUD FORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877328 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAST VEHICULAR MICRO CLOUD FORMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for quickly forming a vehicular micro cloud. A vehicular micro cloud is a network of vehicles that can communicate and share resources with each other.
- The system includes a processor and memory that stores instructions.
- The processor receives an identifier of a vehicle and checks if it matches the information in stored metadata.
- If the identifier matches, the vehicle is allowed to join the vehicular micro cloud without going through a standard onboarding procedure.
- If the identifier does not match, the vehicle must go through a standard onboarding procedure to join the vehicular micro cloud.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Efficient communication and resource sharing among vehicles in a vehicular micro cloud.
- Improved coordination and collaboration between vehicles in a fleet or convoy.
- Enhanced safety features by enabling vehicles to quickly join a network and share information.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Streamlines the process of joining a vehicular micro cloud, reducing the time and effort required for onboarding.
- Allows vehicles with pre-verified identifiers to quickly join the network without going through a standard onboarding procedure.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster formation of vehicular micro clouds, enabling quicker communication and resource sharing among vehicles.
- Improved efficiency and coordination in fleet or convoy operations.
- Enhanced safety and situational awareness through real-time information sharing among vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for fast vehicular micro cloud formation are disclosed herein. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor and having instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive an identifier of the vehicle and determine if the identifier matches the information in stored metadata. If the identifier matches the information in the stored metadata, the vehicle is allowed to join the vehicular micro cloud without performing a standard onboarding procedure. Otherwise, a standard onboarding procedure is performed to allow the vehicle to join the vehicular micro cloud.
