Abstract

Techniques described herein include utilizing a mobile device as a proxy receiver for a vehicle in a V2X environment. In some embodiments, the mobile device may be configured to obtain vehicle and/or occupant metadata and store such data in memory at the mobile device. At a subsequent time, the mobile device may receive a V2X data message from a remote device (e.g., a V2X capable vehicle, another proxy device, a roadside unit, or any suitable device of the V2X environment that is different from the mobile device). The mobile device may process the data message based at least in part on the vehicle metadata and/or occupant metadata and perform one or more operations in response to processing the data message.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for utilizing vehicle metadata by a mobile device to perform operations on behalf of a vehicle, comprising:
obtaining, by the mobile device, vehicle metadata associated with the vehicle, the vehicle metadata describing one or more attributes of the vehicle;
receiving, via one or more transceivers of the mobile device, a data message from a remote device, wherein the remote device comprises:
a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) vehicle,
a second mobile device transmitting on behalf of a vehicle, or
a roadside unit;

determining, by the mobile device, whether to process the data message based at least in part on the vehicle metadata; and either:
performing, by the mobile device, one or more operations based on the data message and in response to a determination to process the data message, or
ignoring the data message, by the mobile device, in response to a determination not to process the data message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing one or more operations comprises:
generating driving assistance information based at least in part on the received data message,
providing the driving assistance information to an output device associated with the mobile device or the vehicle,
determining a data element of the data message comprises additional vehicle metadata corresponding to the vehicle,
transmitting at least a portion of the additional vehicle metadata in one or more data messages,
or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the driving assistance information is generated based at least in part on occupant metadata associated with one or more occupants of the vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the vehicle metadata is in response to determining, by the mobile device, that a vehicle is being utilized, or is likely to be utilized, for transportation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining, by the mobile device, occupant metadata associated with an occupant of the vehicle, wherein processing the data message is further based at least in part on the occupant metadata.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the occupant metadata comprises:
an identifier for the occupant,
driving credential information associated with the occupant,
one or more physical attributes of the occupant,
driving experience data associated with the occupant,
user preference information associated with the occupant,
one or more occupant attributes,
or any combination thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle metadata comprises:
an image of the vehicle, the image being captured by a camera of the mobile device or a third party device,
one or more identifiers associated with the vehicle,
one or more capabilities of the vehicle,
one or more physical attributes of the vehicle,
or any combination thereof.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle metadata comprises an image of the vehicle and a portion of the vehicle metadata is obtained based at least in part on comparing the image of the vehicle to predefined vehicle data.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, by the mobile device, one or more vehicle attributes from the data message; and
comparing, by the mobile device, the one or more vehicle attributes received in the data message to the vehicle metadata stored at the mobile device, wherein the data message is processed based at least in part on the comparison.

10. A mobile device comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
obtain vehicle metadata associated with the vehicle, the vehicle metadata describing one or more attributes of the vehicle;
receive, via one or more transceivers, a data message from a remote device, wherein the remote device comprises:
a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) vehicle,
a second mobile device transmitting on behalf of a vehicle, or
a roadside unit;

determine whether to process the data message based at least in part on the vehicle metadata; and either:
perform one or more operations based on the data message and in response to a determination to process the data message, or
ignore the data message in response to a determination not to process the data message.

11. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein performing the one or more operations causes the one or more processors to:
generate driving assistance information based at least in part on the received data message,
provide the driving assistance information to an output device associated with the mobile device or the vehicle,
determine a data element of the data message comprises additional vehicle metadata corresponding to the vehicle,
transmit at least a portion of the additional vehicle metadata in one or more data messages,
or any combination thereof.

12. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the driving assistance information is generated based at least in part on occupant metadata associated with one or more occupants of the vehicle.

13. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle metadata is obtained in response to determining that a vehicle is being utilized, or is likely to be utilized, for transportation.

14. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to obtain occupant metadata associated with an occupant of the vehicle, wherein processing the data message is further based at least in part on the occupant metadata.

15. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the occupant metadata comprises:
an identifier for the occupant,
driving credential information associated with the occupant,
one or more physical attributes of the occupant,
driving experience data associated with the occupant,
user preference information associated with the occupant, one or more occupant attributes,
or any combination thereof.

16. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle metadata comprises:
an image of the vehicle, the image being captured by a camera of the mobile device or a third party device,
one or more identifiers associated with the vehicle,
one or more capabilities of the vehicle,
one or more physical attributes of the vehicle,
or any combination thereof.

17. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle metadata comprises an image of the vehicle and a portion of the vehicle metadata is obtained based at least in part on comparing the image of the vehicle to predefined vehicle data.

18. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
identify one or more vehicle attributes from the data message; and
compare the one or more vehicle attributes received in the data message to the vehicle metadata stored at the mobile device, wherein the data message is processed based at least in part on the comparison.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored for utilizing vehicle metadata to perform one or more operations on behalf of a vehicle, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the one or more processors to:
obtain vehicle metadata associated with the vehicle, the vehicle metadata describing one or more attributes of the vehicle;
receive, via one or more transceivers of the mobile device, a data message from a remote device, wherein the remote device comprises:
a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) vehicle,
a second mobile device transmitting on behalf of a vehicle, or
a roadside unit;
