System and method for implementing added services for OBD2 smart vehicle connection
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring, with a portable device in communication with one or more computing systems of a vehicle via an on-board diagnostics (“
OBD2”
) data link connector (“
DLC”
) port, wireless communications between at least one vehicle computing system of the one or more computing systems of the vehicle and at least one device external to the vehicle;
monitoring, with the portable device via the OBD2 DLC port, one or more vehicle sensor data from one or more vehicular sensors tracking operational conditions of the vehicle;
monitoring, with the portable device via the OBD2 DLC port, one or more operator input sensor data from one or more operator input sensors tracking operator input by an operator of the vehicle;
analyzing, with the portable device, at least one of the monitored wireless communications between the at least one vehicle computing system and the at least one device external to the vehicle or a combination of the monitored one or more vehicle sensor data and the monitored one or more operator input sensor data, to determine whether vehicle operation has been compromised, wherein analyzing the combination of the monitored one or more vehicle sensor data and the monitored one or more operator input sensor data comprises analyzing, with the portable device, the one or more vehicle sensor data and the one or more operator input sensor data to determine whether the one or more vehicle sensor data indicates operational conditions of the vehicle that are inconsistent with the corresponding one or more operator input sensor data;
based on a determination that vehicle operation has been compromised, alerting the operator of the vehicle regarding the vehicle operation being compromised, using the portable device via a user interface; and
initiating, with the portable device, one or more remediation operations.

Abstract
Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing Internet of Things (“IoT”) functionality, and, in particular embodiments, implementing added services for OBD2 connection for IoT-capable vehicles. In various embodiments, a portable device (when connected to an OBD2 DLC port of a vehicle) might monitor wireless communications between a vehicle computing system(s) and an external device(s), might monitor vehicle sensor data from vehicular sensors tracking operational conditions of the vehicle, and might monitor operator input sensor data from operator input sensors tracking input by a vehicle operator. The portable device (or a server) might analyze either the monitored wireless communications or a combination of the monitored vehicle sensor data and the monitored operator input sensor data, to determine whether vehicle operation has been compromised. If so, the portable device (or the server) might alert the operator of the vehicle via a user interface, and might initiate one or more remediation operations.
