Abstract
A computer system can remotely manage a vehicle's operational settings. The computer system can cause operational settings data to be downloaded to a vehicle to control one or more operations of the vehicle. The computer system can generate download event information indicating the operational settings data downloaded to the vehicle and a user associated with the vehicle. The computer system can access a pricing structure associated with operational settings. The computer system can charge the user based on the pricing structure and the download event information.
Claims24
A computer system for managing vehicle operational settings, the computer system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors configured to execute program instructions to cause the computer system to:
- cause operational settings data to be downloaded to a vehicle to control one or more operations of the vehicle;
- and
- pursuant to causing the operational settings data to be downloaded to the vehicle:
- generate download event information indicating the operational settings data downloaded to the vehicle and a user associated with the vehicle;
- access a pricing structure associated with operational settings, wherein the pricing structure is based on a number of operational settings downloaded to the vehicle or a type of operational setting downloaded to the vehicle;
- and
- charge the user based on the pricing structure and the download event information.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- causing operational settings data to be downloaded to a vehicle to control one or more operations of the vehicle;
- and
- pursuant to causing the operational settings data to be downloaded to the vehicle:
- generating download event information indicating the operational settings data downloaded to the vehicle and a user associated with the vehicle;
- accessing a pricing structure associated with operational settings, wherein the pricing structure is based on a number of operational settings downloaded to the vehicle or a type of operational setting downloaded to the vehicle;
- and
- charging the user based on the pricing structure and the download event information.
Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations, comprising:
- causing operational settings data to be downloaded to a vehicle to control one or more operations of the vehicle;
- and
- pursuant to causing the operational settings data to be downloaded to the vehicle:
- generating download event information indicating the operational settings data downloaded to the vehicle and a user associated with the vehicle;
- accessing a pricing structure associated with operational settings, wherein the pricing structure is based on a number of operational settings downloaded to the vehicle or a type of operational setting downloaded to the vehicle;
- and
- charging the user based on the pricing structure and the download event information.
