US 2026/0304504 A1 · SEAMLESS WIRELESS CONNECTION ACROSS MULTIPLE USERS AND VEHICLES

Abstract

Techniques for configuring a wireless connection between a user device and a vehicle are discussed herein. For example, techniques may include seamlessly pairing (for a first-time user) or connecting (for a repeat user) a user device with a vehicle configured to transport a user associated with the user device to their destination. A vehicle may receive a service request associated with a user device and/or an identifier for configuring a wireless connection (e.g., Bluetooth). The vehicle may determine a satisfaction of an initiation threshold (e.g., the vehicle is within a proximity of the user device), which may prompt the vehicle to configure the wireless connection of the vehicle such that the vehicle is communicatively coupled to the vehicle. The wireless connection may allow the vehicle to present configuration data (e.g., audio or heating preferences) in the vehicle, and may allow the user to modify the configuration data for their ride.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at an autonomous vehicle, route data associated with transporting a user associated with a user device to a destination;
receiving, at the autonomous vehicle, an identifier for configuring a short-range communication connection to the user device;
determining, at the autonomous vehicle, an occurrence of an initiation event associated with the user device;
configuring, based on the occurrence of the initiation event and the identifier, the short-range communication connection of the autonomous vehicle to the user device;
and
presenting, in the autonomous vehicle, an audio configuration based at least in part on the short-range communication connection.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a vehicle, a service request associated with a user device;
receiving, at the vehicle, an identifier for configuring a wireless connection for the user device to communicatively couple with the vehicle;
determining, at the vehicle, a satisfaction of an initiation threshold;
configuring, based on the satisfaction of the initiation threshold and the identifier, the wireless connection of the vehicle to communicatively couple to the user device;
and
presenting configuration data in the vehicle based at least in part on the wireless connection.
