SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO FORM REMOTE VEHICULAR MICRO CLOUDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945495 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO FORM REMOTE VEHICULAR MICRO CLOUDS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for forming remote vehicular micro clouds at one or more remote locations. This involves collecting data from a plurality of vehicles in a geographic location to create a vehicular micro cloud, which can then be accessed by a client device located remotely.

Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- Formation of vehicular micro clouds at remote locations - Communication with vehicles to collect data and create the micro cloud - Collection of resource data from vehicles' sensor sets - Transmission of resource data to remote client devices

Potential applications of this technology: - Traffic management systems - Environmental monitoring - Emergency response coordination

Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient data collection from multiple vehicles - Remote access to real-time environmental data - Improved communication and coordination in remote locations

Benefits of this technology: - Enhanced situational awareness - Increased efficiency in resource utilization - Improved decision-making based on real-time data

Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Fleet management systems - Smart city infrastructure - Autonomous vehicle networks

Possible prior art: - Previous systems for vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Cloud computing technologies for data storage and processing

Unanswered questions: 1. How does the system ensure data security and privacy when collecting information from multiple vehicles? 2. What measures are in place to prevent data manipulation or tampering within the vehicular micro cloud network?

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are provided for forming remote vehicular micro clouds at one or more remote locations. According to some embodiments, the methods and systems comprise responsive to receiving a request to form a vehicular micro cloud from a client device, communicating with a plurality of vehicles within an area of a geographic location to collectively form a vehicular micro cloud at the geographic location, where client device is remote from the area of the geographic location. The methods and systems further include receiving resource data from the plurality of vehicles, the resource data comprising detection results of an environment surrounding the geographic location based on sensor sets of the plurality of vehicles, and transmitting the resource data to the client device.
