Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system includes a processor configured to receive remote vehicle identification information and a user-confirmable vehicle variable value from a remote vehicle computing system. The processor is also configured to receive vehicle identification information and user-confirmable variable value user-input, input in conjunction with a remote process remote access request. Further, the processor is configured to compare the user-input variable value to the remotely received variable value. The processor is additionally configured to provide access to the remote process upon a correspondence between the user-input variable value and the remotely received variable value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a processor configured to: receive remote vehicle identification information and a user-confirmable vehicle-system variable value from a remote vehicle computing system; receive vehicle identification information and user-confirmable variable value user-input, input in conjunction with a remote process remote access request; compare the user-input variable value to the remotely received variable value; and provide access to the remote process upon a correspondence between the user-input variable value and the remotely received variable value. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes an odometer value. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current fuel level. 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current radio station setting. 5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote process includes a website attempting to access the vehicle. 6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote process includes a device application attempting to access the vehicle. 7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the provided access includes a temporal expiration. 8. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving remote vehicle identification information and a user-confirmable vehicle-system variable value from a remote vehicle computing system; receiving vehicle identification information and user-confirmable variable value user-input, input in conjunction with a remote process remote access request; comparing the user-input variable value to the remotely received variable value; and providing access to the remote process upon a correspondence between the user-input variable value and the remotely received variable value. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes an odometer value. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current fuel level. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current radio station setting. 12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the remote process includes a website attempting to access the vehicle. 13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the remote process includes a device application attempting to access the vehicle. 14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the provided access includes a temporal expiration. 15. A computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising: receiving remote vehicle identification information and a user-confirmable vehicle-system variable value from a remote vehicle computing system; receiving vehicle identification information and user-confirmable variable value user-input, input in conjunction with a remote process remote access request; comparing the user-input variable value to the remotely received variable value; and providing access to the remote process upon a correspondence between the user-input variable value and the remotely received variable value. 16. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes an odometer value. 17. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current fuel level. 18. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user-confirmable vehicle variable value includes a current radio station setting. 19. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the remote process includes a website attempting to access the vehicle. 20. The storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the remote process includes a device application attempting to access the vehicle.
