System and method for implementing a vehicle configuration based on parameters that are specified by a mobile computing device when outside of a vehicle

A mobile computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the mobile computing device to:
• receive a digital key for accessing a vehicle;
• generate a second key, based on the received digital key, to be shared with the vehicle;
• associate, with the digital key, one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations for operational or usage facets of the vehicle;
• detect that the mobile computing device is within a threshold proximity of the vehicle;
• send the one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations to the vehicle upon detecting that the mobile computing device is within the threshold proximity;
• and
• communicate the second key to the vehicle to enable the vehicle to decrypt and implement the one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations.

A vehicle comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the vehicle to:
• receive, from a mobile computing device, a digital key, a shared access key based on the digital key, and one or more vehicle configurations;
• authenticate the digital key;
• and
• upon authenticating the digital key, use the shared digital key to decrypt and implement the one or more vehicle configurations and enable access to the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile computing device, causes the mobile computing device to:

• receive a digital key for accessing a vehicle;
• generate a second key, based on the received digital key, to be shared with the vehicle;
• associate, with the digital key, one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations for operational or usage facets of the vehicle;
• detect that the mobile computing device is within a threshold proximity of the vehicle;
• send the one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations to the vehicle upon detecting that the mobile computing device is within the threshold proximity;
• and
• communicate the second key to the vehicle to enable the vehicle to decrypt and implement the one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations.
