Abstract

A system ( 1100 ) and method ( 1600 ) for generating an event session for a mobile object utilizing data and computational information from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources is disclosed herein. The system ( 1100 ) comprises an assigning authority engine ( 1105 ), a mobile device ( 110 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ), a connected vehicle device ( 135 ) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle ( 1000 ), and an off vehicle source selected from a database ( 1125 ), a cloud source ( 1180 ), or a physical structure ( 1140 ). The assigning authority engine ( 1105 ) is configured to inform an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-board data and on-board data, initiate a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs to generate an event session, and associate the event session with a single common time signature and event.

Claims (51)

1 . A method for generating an event session for a vehicle, the method comprising:

accessing, through a plurality of permissions granted and managed by an assigning authority engine, data for the vehicle comprising an operator event, a data event and a sensor event data, wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to utilize a remote profile manager toolset to execute dynamic, temporal combinations of the data;

informing, at the assigning authority, an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-board data and on-board data, wherein the instruction set creates an output, wherein the output is sequenced and associated with a single common time signature by a session engine;

initiating a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs managed by the session engine to generate an event session, wherein each output of the super-set of outputs is associated with a same single common time signature and event;

wherein the event session provides a record of the total outputs created from at least one data stream of the vehicle comprising data collected within a defined period of time.

2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the at least one off-board data is generated from at least one off-board source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device.

3 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the at least one off-board source is at least one physical infrastructure with the communication device selected from the group comprising a building, a gate, an access controlled point of entry, a parking structure, a weigh station, a toll collection structure, a fueling equipment and a vehicle service equipment.

4 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the at least one off-board source is at least one cloud source selected from the group comprising a public cloud source, a private cloud source, a hybrid cloud source, or a multi-cloud source.

5 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the at least one off-board source is at least one database and a mobile application operating on a mobile device, and the data originates from the mobile application.

6 . The method according to claim 1 wherein an on-board source comprises a processor, a WiFi radio, a BLUETOOTH radio, a memory storing data, and a connector for pairing with a connector plug of the vehicle.

7 . A system for generating an event session for a vehicle, the system comprising:

at least one of a mobile device for a vehicle or a connected vehicle device (CVD) comprising on-vehicle data for a vehicle;

an assigning authority engine; and

at least one off-vehicle source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure capable of collecting and transferring data in a consumable manner accessible to the session with a communication device;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to access data for the vehicle comprising a driver event, a data event and a sensor event data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to utilize a remote profile manager toolset to execute dynamic, temporal combinations of the data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to inform an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-vehicle data and on-vehicle data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to initiate a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs to generate an event session;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to associate the event session with a single common time signature and event;

wherein the event session provides a record of a defined data set from at least one data stream of the vehicle during a specified period of time.

8 . The system according to claim 7 wherein the at least one off-vehicle data is generated from at least one off-vehicle source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device.

9 . The system according to claim 8 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one physical infrastructure with the communication device selected from the group comprising a building, a gate, an access controlled point of entry, a parking structure, a weigh station, a toll collection structure, a fueling equipment and a vehicle service equipment.

10 . The system according to claim 8 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one cloud source selected from the group comprising a public cloud source, a private cloud source, a hybrid cloud source, or a multi-cloud source.

11 . The system according to claim 8 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one database and a mobile application operating on a mobile device, and the data originates from the mobile application.

12 . The system according to claim 8 wherein an on-vehicle source comprises a processor, a WiFi radio, a BLUETOOTH radio, a memory storing vehicle data, and a connector for pairing with a connector plug of the vehicle.

13 . The system according to claim 7 wherein the record is from a camera or other component of the vehicle.

14 . A system for generating an event session for a vehicle, the system comprising:

a mobile device for the vehicle;

a connected vehicle device comprising on-board data for the vehicle;

an assigning authority engine; and

at least one off-board source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to access data for the vehicle comprising an operator event, a data event and a sensor event data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to utilize a remote profile manager toolset to execute dynamic, temporal combinations of the data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to inform an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-board data and on-board data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to initiate a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs to generate an event session;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to associate the event session with a single common time signature and event;

wherein the event session provides a record of a defined data set from at least one data stream of the vehicle.

15 . The system according claim 14 wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to access data over a secure wireless network for the vehicle.

16 . The system according to claim 14 wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to access data over a fixed wireless network for the vehicle.

17 . A system for generating an event session for a vehicle, the system comprising:

a mobile device for the vehicle;

a connected vehicle device comprising on-board data for the vehicle;

an assigning authority engine; and

at least one off-board source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device;

wherein the assigning authority is configured to access data over for the vehicle comprising a known operator profile, a data event and a sensor event data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to utilize a remote profile manager toolset to execute dynamic, temporal combinations of the data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to inform an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-vehicle data and on-vehicle data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to initiate a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs to generate an event session;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to associate the event session with a single common time signature and event;
