Setting vehicle permissions using geo-fencing
A system for controlling vehicle permissions based on a geo-fence boundary is disclosed. The system may include one or more processor that receives location information of an origin, generates a map based on the location information of the origin, determines the geo-fence boundary associated with a prospective radius from the origin based on the map, receives a vehicle location, and controls the vehicle permissions based on a comparison of the vehicle location to the geo-fence boundary. The system may further include a display configured to display the map and the geo-fence boundary.
1. A system for controlling vehicle permissions based on a geo-fence boundary, the system comprising:
a display;
one or more processors configured to:
receive location information of an origin;
receive landmark features information of a map including major streets and smaller streets;
receive zoom level information of the map;
detect a number of user interactions with the display;
determine a prospective radius from the origin based on the number of user interactions with the display;
generate the map based on the location information of the origin, the landmark features, and the zoom level information of the map;
automatically determine the geo-fence boundary according to the prospective radius from the origin based on the map, including:
if the zoom level information indicates a first zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by major streets, and
if the zoom level information indicates a second zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by smaller streets;
receive a vehicle location;
control the vehicle permissions based on a comparison of the vehicle location to the geo-fence boundary; and
wherein the display is configured to display the map and the geo-fence boundary.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the map is centered about the origin.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user input draws a boundary on the map around the origin, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the geo-fence boundary by modifying the boundary according to landmark features in the map.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user input paints a shape on the map around the origin, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the geo-fence boundary by modifying the shape according to landmark features in the map.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein detecting the number of user interactions with the display includes detecting a second user interaction, and the one or more processors are further configured to determine a second geo-fence boundary around the origin based on the second user interaction, and wherein the second geo-fence boundary embraces the first geo-fence boundary.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the landmark features include at least one of city boundaries, county boundaries, or state boundaries.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to modify at least one vehicle permission when the vehicle location is outside the geo-fence boundary.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein to modify the at least one vehicle permission includes to disable a vehicle operation.
9. A method for controlling vehicle permissions based on a geo-fence boundary, the method comprising:
receiving location information of an origin;
receiving landmark features information of a map including major streets and smaller streets;
receiving zoom level information of the map;
detecting a number of user interactions with a display;
determining a prospective radius from the origin based on the number of user interactions with the display;
generating, by one or more processor, the map based on the location information of the origin, the landmark features, and the zoom level information of the map;
automatically determining, by the one or more processor, the geo-fence boundary according to the prospective radius from the origin based on the map, including:
if the zoom level information indicates a first zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by major streets, and
if the zoom level information indicates a second zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by smaller streets;
receiving a vehicle location;
controlling the vehicle permissions based on a comparison of the vehicle location to the geo-fence boundary; and
displaying the map and the geo-fence boundary.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the map is centered about the origin.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user input draws a boundary on the map around the origin, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the geo-fence boundary by modifying the boundary according to landmark features in the map.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user input paints a shape on the map around the origin, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the geo-fence boundary by modifying the shape according to landmark features in the map.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein detecting a number of user interactions with a display further comprises:
detecting a second user interaction; and
determining a second geo-fence boundary around the origin based on the second user interaction, and wherein the second geo-fence boundary embraces the first geo-fence boundary.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a method for controlling vehicle permissions based on a geo-fence boundary, the method comprising:
receiving location information of an origin;
receiving landmark features information of a map including major streets and smaller streets;
receiving zoom level information of the map;
detecting a number of user interactions with a display;
determining a prospective radius from the origin based on the number of user interactions with the display;
generating, by one or more processor, the map based on the location information of the origin, the landmark features, and the zoom level information of the map;
automatically determining, by the one or more processor, the geo-fence boundary according to the prospective radius from the origin based on the map, including:
if the zoom level information indicates a first zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by major streets, and
if the zoom level information indicates a second zoom level, generating the geo-fence boundary to be bounded by smaller streets;
receiving a vehicle location;
controlling the vehicle permissions based on a comparison of the vehicle location to the geo-fence boundary; and
displaying the map and the geo-fence boundary.
