Selective implementation of an optional vehicle mode
First Claim
1. A method for selective implementation of an operating parameter in a vehicle, comprising:
- storing information regarding a vehicle compliance state and its corresponding first benefit, wherein the vehicle compliance state is determined relative to a given administrative standard defining a predetermined vehicle operation mode applicable to a particular route or area;
obtaining access to information that identifies a preferred consequential result that is different from the first benefit; and
implementing a configurable operating parameter in the vehicle during travel via the particular route or area to (1) forfeit the first benefit and (2) attain the identified preferred consequential result instead, wherein the implemented configurable operating parameter modifies a conformity status of the vehicle relative to the given administrative standard, such that the first benefit is forfeited.

Abstract
Exemplary methods, systems and components enable selective control of an operational mode for a vehicle that is subject to an administrative standard. In some instances a qualified person or entity may attain a preferred consequential result related to a selected vehicle operation mode that may involve a vehicle operation paradigm and/or a vehicle travel route and/or a vehicle travel destination. In some embodiments, implementation of the selected vehicle operation mode may modify a conformity status of the vehicle relative to the administrative standard. Various accessible records may be maintained regarding administrative compliance states and their respective benefits, as well as regarding certification of preferable consequential results available to qualified recipients based on a correlated vehicle operational mode.

31. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-readable media having encoded instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for a selective implementation of an operating parameter in a vehicle, the operations comprising:
-
storing information regarding a compliance state and its corresponding first benefit relative to a given administrative standard defining a predetermined vehicle operation mode applicable to a particular route or area; obtaining access to information that identifies a preferred consequential result that is different from the first benefit; and implementing a configurable operating parameter in the vehicle during travel via the particular route or area to (1) forfeit the first benefit and (2) attain the identified preferred consequential result instead, wherein the implemented configurable operating parameter modifies a conformity status of the vehicle relative to the given administrative standard, such that the first benefit is forfeited. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)
