Abstract
Methods and systems for a device discovery daemon that bases access of a communication device to an on board vehicle network on device location are provided.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- (a) determining, by a microprocessor executable device discovery daemon, that a computational device is connected to or attempting to connect to a network and/or communication subsystem of a vehicle;
- (b) in response, determining, by the device discovery daemon, whether the computational device is located within a predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle;
- and
- (c) applying, by the device discovery daemon, at least the following rules:
- (C1) when the computational device is located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem;
- and
- (C2) when the computational device is not located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, not permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem.

A vehicle, comprising:
- a microprocessor executable device discovery daemon operable to:
- (a) determine that a computational device is connected to or attempting to connect to a network and/or communication subsystem of a vehicle;
- (b) in response, determining whether the computational device is located within a predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle;
- and
- (c) applying at least the following rules:
- (C1) when the computational device is located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem;
- and
- (C2) when the computational device is not located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, not permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem.

A tangible and non-transient computer readable medium including microprocessor executable instructions that, when executed, perform at least the following functions:
- (a) determining that a computational device is connected to or attempting to connect to a network and/or communication subsystem of a vehicle;
- (b) in response, determining whether the computational device is located within a predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle;
- and
- (c) applying, by the device discovery daemon, at least the following rules:
- (C1) when the computational device is located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem;
- and
- (C2) when the computational device is not located within the predetermined area and/or zone of the vehicle, not permitting the computational device to access or attempt to access the vehicle network and/or communication subsystem.
