SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR MANAGING ACCESS TO VEHICLE DATA
First Claim
1. A gateway apparatus, for managing local-device access to vehicle data, comprising:
- an input/output component configured to receive requests for vehicle data from a local device, and send vehicle data to the local device;
a tangible processing unit in communication with the input/output component;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage device in communication with the tangible processing unit and comprising an access unit, a control unit, and a data unit, wherein;
the access unit comprises access-unit code that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, receives, by way of the input/output component, a request for the vehicle data from a local device and determines whether the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request;
the control unit comprises control-unit code that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines, in response to the access unit determining that the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request, what vehicle data will be provided to the local device; and
the data unit comprises data-unit code that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, prepares the vehicle data to be provided to the local device by way of the input/output component, and sends the vehicle data to the local device by way of the input/output component.

Abstract
A gateway apparatus for managing local-device access to vehicle data, including an input/output component for receiving requests for vehicle data from a local device and sending vehicle data to the local device. The apparatus also includes a tangible processing unit in communication with the input/output component and the input/output component, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device. An access unit of the apparatus has access-unit code that receives, by way of the input/output component, a request for the vehicle data from a local device and determines whether the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request. A control unit has control-unit code that, when executed by the processing unit, determines what vehicle data will be provided. A data unit has data-unit code that prepares the vehicle data to be provided to the local device, and sends the vehicle data to the local device by way of the input/output component.

15. A gateway apparatus, for managing local-device access to vehicle data, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable storage device; an access unit comprising access-unit code positioned at the non-transitory computer-readable storage device, wherein the access-unit code, when executed by a hardware-based processing unit, receives, by way of an input/output component, a request for the vehicle data from a local device and determines whether the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request; a control unit, comprising control-unit code positioned at the non-transitory computer-readable storage device, wherein the control-unit code, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines, in response to the access unit determining that the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request, what vehicle data will be provided to the local device; and a data unit, comprising data-unit code positioned at the non-transitory computer-readable storage device, wherein the data-unit code, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, prepares the vehicle data to be provided to the local device by way of the input/output component, and sends the vehicle data to the local device by way of the input/output component. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A process, performed using a gateway apparatus, for managing local-device access to vehicle data, comprising:
-
receiving, by a hardware-based processing unit executing access-unit code positioned at a non-transitory computer-readable storage device, and by way of a tangible input/output component, a request for the vehicle data from a local device; determining, by the hardware-based processing unit executing the access-unit code, whether the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request; determining, by the hardware-based processing unit executing control-unit code positioned at the non-transitory computer-readable storage device, and in response to the processing unit determining that the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request, what vehicle data will be provided to the local device; preparing, by the hardware-based processing unit executing data-unit code positioned at the non-transitory computer-readable storage device, the vehicle data to be provided to the local device by way of an input/output component; and sending, by the hardware-based processing unit executing the data-unit code, the vehicle data to the local device by way of the input/output component.
