Abstract

A method for configuring mobile online services for use with a transportation vehicle including providing a configuration system which assigns data contents to a data release class, providing a selection possibility for a user by the configuration system by which selection possibility the user allows one or more mobile online services to use the data contents of a data release class, selecting a data release class for the one or more mobile online services, and releasing the data contents of the selected data release class for use by the mobile online service by the configuration system. The method provides for enabling transparent and conveniently usable data protection configuration for the use of mobile online services together with a transportation vehicle which leads to increased trust of customers and potential buyers in the transportation vehicle manufacturer and in the offered mobile online services.

Claims26

Dependent claims

A method for configuring mobile online services for use with a transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

defining, by a configuration system, at least two data release classes of a plurality of predetermined data release classes, wherein defining includes assigning data contents to at least one of the at least two data release classes different from data contents assigned to another of the at least two data release classes;
enabling a selection input for a user by the configuration system, by which selection input the user respectively authorizes one or more mobile online services to use the data contents of at least one of the plurality of predetermined data release classes to increase transparency in the data to be released via simple instruction to increase the user's trust;
executing selection, responsive to user input via the selection input, of at least one data release class of the plurality of data release classes for the one or more mobile online services;
and
responsive to executed selection, releasing the data contents of the selected data release class for use by the respective mobile online service by the configuration system,
wherein the configuration system comprises at least one of a transportation vehicle-internal man-machine interface and a transportation vehicle-external man-machine interface for providing the selection input for the user of the configuration system, by which the user respectively permits the one or more mobile online services to use the data contents of the selected data release class,
wherein the at least one man-machine interface is implemented using at least one hardware processor.

4 more elements

A configuration system for configuration of mobile online services for use with a transportation vehicle, the configuration system comprising

a transportation vehicle having a transportation vehicle-internal configuration unit, and
a transportation vehicle-external configuration unit,
wherein the configuration system executes a method for configuring mobile online services for use with a transportation vehicle, the method comprising:
defining, by the configuration system at least two data release classes of a plurality of predetermined data release classes, wherein defining includes assignment of data contents to at least one of the at least two data release classes different from data contents assigned to another of the at least two data release classes;
enabling a selection input for a user by the configuration system, by which selection input the user respectively authorizes one or more mobile online services to use the data contents of at least one of the plurality of predetermined data release classes to increase transparency in the data to be released via simple instruction to increase the user's trust;
executing selection, according to user input via the selection input, of at least one data release class of the plurality of predetermined data release classes for the one or more mobile online services;
and
in response to executed selection, releasing the data contents of the selected data release class for use by the respective mobile online service by the configuration system,
wherein the configuration system comprises a transportation vehicle-internal man-machine interface and/or a transportation vehicle-external man-machine interface for providing the selection input for the user of the configuration system, by which the user respectively permits the one or more mobile online services to use the data contents of the selected data release class.
