Abstract

Systems and methods directed to URI-based host to mobile device setup and pairing are described herein. A uniform resource identifier (URI) may be received from a host device. A request for an application associated with the host device and the wireless device may be transmitted based at least in part on the URI. The requested application may be received. An association with the host device may be established based at least in part on the application.

Claims

1-21. -21. (canceled)

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors of a vehicle, a first uniform resource identifier (URI);

causing to present, at a display of the vehicle, the first URI;

receiving a request from a wireless device for credentials of the vehicle;

generating, by the one or more processors, a second URI;

causing to present, at the display of the vehicle, the second URI;

receiving, from the wireless device, a request to establish a trusted relationship; and

establishing the trusted relationship with the wireless device.

23. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein the first URI comprises an indication of an application, and wherein receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

24. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein the first URI comprises an indication of a location of a server configured to provide an application for the wireless device, and wherein receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

25. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating one or more of a quick response (QR) code, a bar code, an audio code, an audio code, or a near field communication code (NFC) tag.

26. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating a user interface configured to display the first URI using an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system of the vehicle.

27. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, further comprising authenticating a user of the wireless device.

28. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating the first URI based at least in part on at least one of a cloud service, an apparatus identification number, or an authorization code.

29. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor associated with a vehicle, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

generating, by one or more processors of a vehicle, a first uniform resource identifier (URI);

causing to present, at a display of the vehicle, the first URI;

receiving a request from a wireless device for credentials of the vehicle;

generating, by the one or more processors, a second URI;

causing to present, at the display of the vehicle, the second URI;

receiving, from the wireless device, a request to establish a trusted relationship; and

establishing the trusted relationship with the wireless device.

30. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the first URI comprises an indication of an application for the wireless device, and wherein receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

31. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the first URI comprises an indication of a location of a server configured to provide an application for the wireless device, and wherein receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

32. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating a quick response (QR) code, a bar code, an audio code, an audio code, or a near field communication code (NFC) tag.

33. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating a user interface configured to display the first URI using an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system of the vehicle.

34. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, further comprising authenticating a user of the wireless device.

35. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating the first URI based at least in part on at least one of a cloud service, an apparatus identification number, or an authorization code.

36. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 35, wherein the apparatus identification number is a vehicle identification number.

37. A system comprising:

a wireless device;

one or more processors of a vehicle; and

at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions,

wherein the one or more processors are operable to access the least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to;

generate a first uniform resource identifier (URI);

cause to present, at a display of the vehicle, the first URI;

receive a request from a wireless device for credentials of the vehicle;

generate a second URI;

cause to present, at the display of the vehicle, the second URI;

receive, from the wireless device, a request to establish a trusted relationship; and

establish the trusted relationship with the wireless device.

38. The system of claim 37, wherein the system is an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system comprising the display, and wherein generating the first URI comprises generating, with the IVI, a user interface configured to display the first URI.

39. The system of claim 37, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating an indication of an application for the wireless device, and wherein receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

40. The system of claim 37, further comprising a server configured to provide an application for the wireless device, wherein:

the first URI comprises an indication of a location of the server; and

receiving the request to establish the trusted relationship includes receiving the request from the application on the wireless device.

41. The system of claim 37, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to authenticate a user of the wireless device.

42. The system of claim 37, wherein generating the first URI comprises generating the first URI based at least in part on at least one of a cloud service, an apparatus identification number, or an authorization code.
