US 12,168,418 B2 · Device, system, and method for an electronic response to a potential carjacking

Abstract

A device, system, and method for an electronic response to a potential carjacking is provided. A device receives: a location and vehicle ignition status of a vehicle; and sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are onboard the vehicle, the sensor data different from the location and the vehicle ignition status. The device determines whether the location of the vehicle is associated with a carjacking type of location, and whether a combination of the vehicle ignition status and the sensor data meet a carjacking threshold condition. When both the location of the vehicle is associated with the carjacking type of location and the carjacking threshold condition is met, the device: outputs an alert at the vehicle indicative of, or associated with, the potential carjacking; and/or causes, a notification to be transmitted to a communication device associated with a public safety agency or a monitoring service.

Dependent claims

A method for an electronic response to a potential carjacking, the method comprising:

receiving, via a computing device, a location of a vehicle;
receiving, via the computing device, a vehicle ignition status of the vehicle;
receiving, via the computing device, vehicular sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are onboard the vehicle, the vehicular sensor data different from the location and the vehicle ignition status;
determining, via the computing device, whether the location of the vehicle is associated with a carjacking type of location;
determining, via the computing device, whether a combination of the vehicle ignition status and the vehicular sensor data meet a carjacking threshold condition;
and
when both the location of the vehicle is associated with the carjacking type of location and the carjacking threshold condition is met, one or more of:
outputting an alert at the vehicle indicative of, or associated with, the potential carjacking;
and
causing a notification to be transmitted to a communication device associated with a public safety agency or a monitoring service, the notification indicative of the potential carjacking.
