Abstract
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.
Claims14
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.
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.
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.
