ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE BASED ON DRIVER AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17960013 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE BASED ON DRIVER AUTHENTICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for securely connecting an electronic device to a vehicle using mobile identity document information. Here are the key points:
- The communication module in the electronic device includes communication circuitry, memory, and a processor.
- When the electronic device is connected to a vehicle, the processor transmits mobile identity document information stored in the memory to the vehicle.
- The vehicle authenticates the mobile identity document information and sends back vehicle information to the electronic device.
- Based on the vehicle information or the mobile identity document information, the processor generates a digital key for the vehicle.
- The generated digital key is then transmitted back to the vehicle.
- The vehicle sends a digitally signed version of the digital key along with driver identification information back to the electronic device.
- The signed digital key and driver identification information are stored in the memory of the electronic device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Securely connecting electronic devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to vehicles for various purposes.
- Enabling remote access and control of vehicles through authenticated digital keys.
- Facilitating seamless integration of electronic devices with vehicle systems, such as infotainment or navigation.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring secure and authenticated communication between electronic devices and vehicles.
- Simplifying the process of connecting electronic devices to vehicles by using mobile identity document information.
- Enhancing the overall security and reliability of vehicle access and control.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved convenience and user experience by eliminating the need for physical keys or separate authentication processes.
- Enhanced security and protection against unauthorized access to vehicles.
- Potential for integration with other smart technologies and services, such as smart home systems or digital assistants.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method and an apparatus comprising: a communication module comprising communication circuitry, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to at least one of the communication module and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: based on the electronic device being connected to a vehicle, transmit mobile identity document information stored in the memory to the vehicle through the communication module, receive vehicle information from the vehicle based on the mobile identity document information being completely authenticated by the vehicle, generate a digital key of the vehicle based on the vehicle information or the mobile identity document information, transmit the generated digital key to the vehicle, receive a digital key signed by the vehicle and driver identification information from the vehicle, and store the signed digital key and the driver identification information in the memory.
