Unified cloud for managing vehicles

A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured with instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of digital vehicle-keys corresponding to a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles are registered with a plurality of vehicle-clouds associated with the plurality of vehicles and allow remotely controlling the vehicles through the plurality of vehicle-clouds;
• obtaining a plurality of sets of APIs corresponding to the plurality of vehicle-clouds associated with the plurality of vehicles;
• receiving a first request for a vehicle from a user;
• generating a digital user-token based on the request and transmitting the digital user-token to the user;
• mapping the digital user-token and the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle;
• receiving a second request from the user comprising the digital user-token and one or more user-commands for managing the vehicle;
• retrieving the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle based on the digital user-token in the second request;
• constructing one or more vehicle commands based on the one or more user-commands using the set of APIs of the vehicle-cloud associated with the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle and the one or more vehicle commands to a vehicle-cloud corresponding to the vehicle for managing the vehicle according to the one or more vehicle commands;
• after generating the digital user-token for a period of time that is greater than a threshold period, performing key rotation by:
• generating a second digital user-token based on the first request from the user:
• replacing the digital user-token with the second digital user-token;
• and
• sending the second digital user-token to the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of digital vehicle-keys corresponding to a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles are registered with a plurality of vehicle-clouds associated with the plurality of vehicles and allow remotely controlling the vehicles through the plurality of vehicle-clouds;
• obtaining a plurality of sets of APIs corresponding to the plurality of vehicle-clouds associated with the plurality of vehicles;
• receiving a first request for a vehicle from a user;
• generating a digital user-token based on the request and transmitting the digital user-token to the user;
• mapping the digital user-token and the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle;
• receiving a second request from the user comprising the digital user-token and one or more user-commands for managing the vehicle;
• retrieving the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle based on the digital user-token in the second request;
• constructing one or more vehicle commands based on the one or more user-commands using the set of APIs of the vehicle-cloud associated with the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting the digital vehicle-key of the vehicle and the one or more vehicle commands to a vehicle-cloud corresponding to the vehicle for managing the vehicle according to the one or more vehicle commands;
• wherein the second request further comprises a GPS location of a second smart device from which the second request was received and a second timestamp, and
• the operations further comprise:
• receiving a third request from the user comprising the digital user-token, one or more third user-commands for managing the vehicle, a third timestamp, and a GPS location of a third smart device from which the third request was received;
• determining a time gap between the second timestamp and the third timestamp and a distance between the GPS location of the second smart device and the GPS location of the third smart device;
• and
• disabling the user-token in response to the time gap being lower than a time threshold and the distance being greater than a distance threshold.
