Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle grille configured to be mounted to a front of a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle grille comprises a grating structure through which air is receivable into the vehicle, wherein at least a portion of said grating structure is shaped as a scannable matrix structure forming a code pattern. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle comprising such a vehicle grille. The present disclosure further relates to a data access system which comprises such a vehicle and a remote server containing data associated with said vehicle, said data being accessible by a camera-equipped communication device, such as a mobile phone, when scanning said scannable matrix structure.
Claims13
A vehicle grille configured to be mounted to a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle grille comprises a grating structure through which air is receivable into the vehicle, wherein at least a portion of said grating structure is shaped as a scannable matrix structure forming a code pattern, wherein said grating structure comprises a plurality of exchangeable, removable, or rearrangeable polygonal elements, enabling the scannable matrix structure to be modified to form a different code pattern, and wherein said polygonal elements are in the form of square-shaped tiles fitted to mating receiving areas of the grating structure.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle grille configured to be mounted to a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle grille comprises a grating structure through which air is receivable into the vehicle, wherein at least a portion of said grating structure is shaped as a scannable matrix structure forming a code pattern, wherein said grating structure comprises a plurality of exchangeable, removable, or rearrangeable polygonal elements, enabling the scannable matrix structure to be modified to form a different code pattern, and wherein said polygonal elements are in the form of square-shaped tiles fitted to mating receiving areas of the grating structure.
A data access system, comprising:
- a vehicle including a vehicle grille configured to be mounted to a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle grille comprises a grating structure through which air is receivable into the vehicle, wherein at least a portion of said grating structure is shaped as a scannable matrix structure forming a code pattern, wherein said grating structure comprises a plurality of exchangeable, removable, or rearrangeable polygonal elements, enabling the scannable matrix structure to be modified to form a different code pattern, and wherein said polygonal elements are in the form of square-shaped tiles fitted to mating receiving areas of the grating structure, and
- a remote server containing data associated with said vehicle, said data being accessible by a camera-equipped communication device when scanning said scannable matrix structure.
