Abstract
Technologies and techniques for anonymously providing data of a motor vehicle. A first dataset is generated by a motor vehicle, and the first dataset is anonymized using a vehicle computing unit. User related data and the anonymized first dataset are communicated to a first server system using the vehicle computing unit and the communicated user related data is deleted using the first server system. The anonymized first dataset is communicated to a second server system using the first server system after deletion of the user related data.
Claims20
A method for anonymously providing data of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- anonymizing a first dataset of a motor vehicle via a vehicle computing unit;
- determining a transmission route comprising at least an entry node and an exit node of a plurality of server nodes of a first server system,
- communicating, via the vehicle computing unit, user related data and the anonymized first dataset to the first server system via the entry node of the transmission route;
- deleting the communicated user related data via the entry node of the first server system;
- and
- communicating the anonymized first dataset to a second server system via the exit node of the transmission route.
A server system network for anonymously providing data of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle computing unit for anonymizing a first dataset of a motor vehicle;
- and
- a first server system comprising a plurality of server nodes, wherein a transmission route comprising at least an entry node and an exit node of the plurality of server nodes of a first server system is determined by one of the first server system or vehicle computing unit,
- wherein the vehicle computing unit is configured to communicate user related data and the anonymized first dataset to the first server system via the entry node of the transmission route,
- wherein the first server system is configured to delete the communicated user related data via the entry node, and communicate the anonymized first dataset to a second server system via the exit node of the transmission route.
