MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL IN A VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18367868 titled 'MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL IN A VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a digital assistant application that can receive sensor signals from a vehicle and determine when someone enters the vehicle. It can then receive authentication input signals from various sensors in the vehicle and determine the authentication states based on these signals and authentication credentials. Based on the authentication states, the application can identify the access permission level and provide access to a subset of functionalities available in the vehicle.

Original Abstract Submitted
The systems and methods described herein can include a digital assistant application that receives sensor signals from sensors installed in a vehicle and determines an entry event into the vehicle. The digital assistant application can receive, responsive to the entry event into the vehicle, a plurality authentication input signals from a plurality of sensors associated with the vehicle. The digital assistant application can determine a plurality of authentication states based on the plurality of authentication input signals and a plurality of authentication credentials. The digital assistant application can identify an access permission level of a plurality of access permission levels based at least in part on the plurality of identifies authentication states. The digital assistant application can identify, responsive to the access permission level, a subset of a set of functionalities available via the vehicle, and provide vehicular access to the subset of functionalities.
