Abstract

In some implementations, a device may receive an indication of a code associated with granting authenticated access to a door. The device may transmit, to a user device, presentation information to cause an augmented reality image of an input pad to be displayed by the user device, wherein the augmented reality image is displayed over an area of an image of an exterior of the door via a user interface. The device may detect, via a camera device, one or more user inputs to the area of the exterior of the vehicle based on tracking a movement of a user. The device may identify an input code based on the one or more user inputs. The device may perform an action to cause the door to be unlocked based on the input code matching the code.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing an augmented reality displayed keypad for authenticated keyless vehicle access, the system comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
transmit, to a user device, presentation information to cause an augmented reality image to be displayed in an area of an image of an exterior of a vehicle, wherein the presentation information causes the augmented reality image to be superimposed on the image of the exterior of the vehicle;
detect one or more user inputs to the area of the exterior of the vehicle associated with the augmented reality image; and
provide access to at least one vehicle system associated with the vehicle based at least in part on the one or more user inputs.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to provide access to the at least one vehicle system, are configured to:
identify an input code based on the one or more user inputs.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors, to provide access to the at least one vehicle system, are configured to:
cause a door of the vehicle to be unlocked.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive an indication of a code associated with granting authenticated access to the vehicle.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image of the exterior of the vehicle is captured in real time by a camera of the user device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the presentation information indicates a location on the exterior of the vehicle where the augmented reality image is to be superimposed.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
initiate a session associated with a user of the user device based on providing access to the at least one vehicle system, wherein the session enables the system to track one or more actions performed by the user associated with the vehicle.

8. A method for providing an augmented reality displayed input pad for authenticated keyless door access, comprising:
transmitting presentation information to cause an augmented reality image to be displayed in an area of an image of an exterior of a door, wherein the presentation information causes the augmented reality image to be superimposed on the image of the exterior of the door;
detecting one or more user inputs to the area of the exterior of the door associated with the augmented reality image; and
performing an action to cause the door to be unlocked based on the one or more user inputs.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the door is associated with at least one of a vehicle or a building.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein performing the action comprises:
performing the action to cause at least one of:
the door to be unlocked without a key, or
an ignition system of a vehicle associated with the door to enable an engine of the vehicle to be started without detecting the key.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
identifying an input code based on the one or more user inputs, wherein the input code indicates a series of inputs to an input pad as depicted via the augmented reality image.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving an identifier associated with a user device; and
storing the identifier associated with the user device based on determining the input code.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein performing the action comprises:
providing access to a vehicle system of a vehicle associated with the door for a limited amount of time or while the vehicle is located within a defined geographic area.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
initiating a session associated with a user based on causing the door to be unlocked, wherein the session enables tracking of one or more actions performed by the user associated with a vehicle associated with the door.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
detecting one or more additional user inputs to the area of the exterior of the door after initiating the session;
identifying an additional input code based on the one or more additional user inputs, wherein the additional input code is the input code or a different input code; and
terminating the session based on identifying the additional input code.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user device, cause the user device to:
receive, via a personal area network, presentation information to cause an augmented reality image to be superimposed on an image of an exterior of a vehicle;
insert the augmented reality image in an image of the vehicle, wherein the augmented reality image is inserted on the exterior of the vehicle in the image; and
provide the image with the augmented reality image inserted for display via a user interface to enable a user of the user device to provide one or more user inputs on the exterior of the vehicle.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more user inputs cause access to be granted to the user to one or more vehicle systems associated with the vehicle.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the user device to insert the augmented reality image in the image of the vehicle, cause the user device to:
identify a reference point on the exterior of the vehicle, wherein the reference point is indicated by the presentation information; and
insert the augmented reality image in the image relative to the reference point.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more user inputs are not tracked or registered by the user device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the user device to:
initiate a session associated with a user of the user device based on causing a door to be unlocked, wherein the session enables the device to track one or more actions performed by the user associated with a vehicle associated with the door.
