Abstract

Systems and methods for cloud-based keyless entry are generally described. In some examples, a first number is received from a vehicle. A first computing device of the vehicle may be configured to control an electronic door lock. A first unlock code may be generated using the first number. In some examples, a notification is sent to a remote entry device associated with the vehicle. A response to the notification may be received from the remote entry device. In some examples, the first number may be retrieved from a messaging service based at least in part on the receiving the response to the notification. A second unlock code may be generated using the first number. A determination may be made that the first unlock code matches the second unlock code. An instruction may be sent to the first computing device, the instruction effective to cause unlock of the electronic door lock.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by at least one processor from a vehicle, a first number, wherein a first computing device of the vehicle is configured to control an electronic door lock;
generating, by the at least one processor, a first unlock code using the first number;
generating, by the at least one processor, a second unlock code based at least in part on communication with a remote entry device associated with the vehicle, wherein the at least one processor compares the first unlock code to the second unlock code;
and
sending an instruction to the first computing device, the instruction effective to cause unlock of the electronic door lock, wherein the instruction is sent based at least in part on the first unlock code matching the second unlock code.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to:
receive, from a first computing device associated with a vehicle, a first number, wherein the first computing device is configured to control an electronic door lock of a door associated with the vehicle;
generate a first unlock code using the first number;
generate a second unlock code based at least in part on communication with a remote entry device associated with the vehicle, wherein the at least one processor compares the first unlock code with the second unlock code;
and
send an instruction to the first computing device, the instruction effective to cause the first computing device to unlock the electronic door lock, wherein the instruction is sent based at least in part on the first unlock code matching the second unlock code.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, from a first computing device associated with a vehicle, a first number, wherein the first computing device is configured to control an electronic door lock of a door associated with the vehicle;
generate a first unlock code using the first number;
generate a second unlock code based at least in part on communication with a remote entry device associated with the vehicle, wherein the at least one processor compares the first unlock code with the second unlock code;
and
send an instruction to the first computing device, the instruction effective to cause the first computing device to unlock the electronic door lock, wherein the instruction is sent based at least in part on the first unlock code matching the second unlock code.
