Methods of operation for plug-in wireless safety device
First Claim
1. A plug-in device adapted to be selectively coupled to a vehicle, said plug-in device comprising:
- a transceiver for transmitting and receiving communications signals;
a position device for providing vehicle position information;
a memory for storing digital security certificates and vehicle application data; and
a processor configured to be put in electrical communication with a vehicle controller area network (CAN) bus on the vehicle, said processor;
receiving vehicle location signals from the position device, files from the memory and signals from the transceiver,providing signals for transmission to the transceiver,identifying the vehicle that the plug-in device is coupled to,providing data on the CAN bus identifying the plug-in device, andperforming self-configuring operations based on type of vehicle, access to vehicle systems and a geographic location of the vehicle.

Abstract
An aftermarket plug-in safety device that allows a vehicle to communicate with other vehicles or infrastructures in a V2X communications system. The device includes a radio for transmitting and receiving signals and a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals and providing vehicle position data. The device also includes a memory for storing digital security certificates and vehicle application data and a processor configured to be put in electrical communication with a vehicle CAN bus. The processor receives vehicle location signals from the GPS receiver, files from the memory and signals from the radio and providing signals for transmission to the radio. The processor identifies the vehicle that the plug-in device is coupled to and provides data on the CAN bus identifying the device. The processor also performs self-configuring operations based on type of vehicle, access to vehicle systems and location of the vehicle.

16. A plug-in device adapted to be selectively coupled to an on-board diagnostic connector on a vehicle, said plug-in device comprising:
-
a radio for transmitting and receiving signals; a position device for providing vehicle position information; a memory for storing digital security certificates and vehicle application data; and a processor configured to be put in electrical communication with a vehicle controller area network (CAN) bus on the vehicle, said processor; receiving vehicle location signals from the position device, files from the memory and signals from the transceiver, providing signals for transmission to the transceiver, identifying the vehicle that the plug-in device is coupled to, providing data on the CAN bus identifying the plug-in device, and being programmed to perform an authentication process so as to set device operation capabilities where the plug-in device is limited to a standalone operation mode that only requires position information when the plug-in device is not authenticated and the plug-in device operates in a connected operation mode that provides enhanced device capabilities when the plug-in device is authenticated. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
