Abstract
Systems and methods to securely retrieve, process, and archive (e.g., via cloud systems) vehicle events, vehicle status, vehicle owner data, and historical data. The system provides real-time, or event-based, vehicle data acquisition to facilitate verifiable and accurate information. True and accurate vehicle data can be accessed by various companies, entities, and government agencies under a subscription service, or on a per-event basis.
Claims20
A system of facilitating access to vehicle data, comprising:
- a vehicle electronic control unit;
- a cloud storage system configured to store at least vehicle data, the cloud storage system including an application layer and a secured storage layer;
- at least one user computing device in operative communication with the cloud storage system via a secure user communication channel;
- and
- a vehicle analysis computing module in operative communication with the vehicle electronic control unit and the cloud storage system, the vehicle analysis computing module in operative secure communication with the cloud storage system via a secure vehicle communication channel and configured to process the vehicle data and transfer the vehicle data to the cloud storage system, prohibiting access to the vehicle data by computing devices intermediate the vehicle analysis computing module and the cloud storage system, with the vehicle analysis computing module further configured to facilitate restricted read-only access to the vehicle data at the vehicle analysis computing module.

A system of facilitating access to vehicle data, comprising:
- a cloud server system adapted to store and facilitate access to vehicle data, the cloud storage system including a secure storage layer having an encrypted database;
- a first user device in operative secure communication with the cloud server system;
- a second user device in operative secure communication with the cloud server system;
- and
- a vehicle computing module in operative communication with a vehicle electronic control unit and the cloud server system, the vehicle computing module configured to process the vehicle data and transfer the vehicle data to the cloud server system for storage at the encrypted database, prohibiting access to the vehicle data by computing devices intermediate the vehicle computing module and the cloud server system, with the vehicle computing module further configured to facilitate restricted read-only access to the vehicle data at the vehicle computing module.
