Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to detect an onboard request for vehicle-action reporting configuration. The processor is also configured to send a vehicle identifier to a configuration server, responsive to the request. The processor is further configured to receive a set of configuration data, representing tuned trigger variables for vehicle reporting, tuned to a vehicle identified by the identifier. Additionally, the processor is configured to use the configuration data to tune a set of vehicle reporting trigger variables, such that a reporting entity reports based upon occurrence of a tuned variable.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- detect a temporary vehicle situation, the temporary vehicle situation predefined as corresponding to a vehicle data reporting trigger variance that changes a condition for triggering a report from the vehicle about the occurrence of at least one detected, predefined vehicle system state, to a remote server;
- obtain an adjusted variable value for adjusting a vehicle data reporting trigger variable, the adjusted variable value defined in conjunction with the temporary vehicle situation and defining a trigger value to be used as a predicate for the report while the temporary vehicle situation is detected;
- adjust a previous vehicle data reporting trigger variable value with the adjusted variable value to create a temporary new predicate for reporting while the temporary vehicle situation is detected;
- and
- revert to an unadjusted previous vehicle data reporting trigger variable value upon detecting cessation of the temporary vehicle situation or when the temporary vehicle situation is no longer detected.
A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a vehicle to perform a method comprising:
- detecting a temporary vehicle situation, the temporary vehicle situation predefined as corresponding to a vehicle data reporting trigger variance that changes a condition for triggering at least storage of a report from the vehicle about the occurrence of at least one detected, predefined vehicle system state;
- obtaining an adjusted variable value for adjusting a vehicle data reporting trigger variable, the adjusted variable value defined in conjunction with the temporary vehicle situation and defining a trigger value to be used as a predicate for the storage of the report while the temporary vehicle situation is detected;
- adjusting a previous vehicle data reporting trigger variable value with the adjusted variable value to create a temporary new predicate for reporting while the temporary vehicle situation is detected;
- and
- reverting to an unadjusted previous vehicle data reporting trigger variable value upon detecting cessation of the temporary vehicle situation or when the temporary vehicle situation is no longer detected.
