On board vehicle installation supervisor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute;
a microprocessor executable installation supervisor operable to determine, for a selected computational component to be installed in the vehicle, whether the selected computational component satisfies a requirement and/or restriction associated with the selected computational component when installed, and, when the selected computational component can satisfy the requirement and/or restriction, create a set of data structures in the selected computational component and/or a computer readable medium on board the vehicle to bind the selected computational component to the vehicle, thereby preventing the selected computational component, after installation in the vehicle, from communicating openly with a processing module in a different vehicle.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a microprocessor executable installation supervisor operable to determine, for a selected computational component to be installed in the vehicle, whether the selected computational component satisfies a requirement and/or restriction associated with the selected computational component, when installed, and, when the selected computational component can satisfy the requirement and/or restriction, create a set of data structures in the selected computational component and/or a computer readable medium on board the vehicle to bind the selected computational component to the vehicle.

9. A method, comprising:
-
a microprocessor executable installation supervisor determining, for a selected computational component to be installed in a selected vehicle, whether the selected computational component satisfies a requirement and/or restriction associated with the selected computational component when installed, and when the selected computational component can satisfy the requirement and/or restriction, microprocessor executable installation supervisor creating a set of data structures in the selected computational component and/or a computer readable medium on board the selected vehicle to bind the selected computational component to the selected vehicle, thereby restricting the ability of the selected computational component, after installation in the selected vehicle, to communicate with a processing module in a different vehicle when compared to the ability of the selected computational component, after installation in the selected vehicle, to communicate with a processing module in the selected vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24)

- 17. A non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium comprising a microprocessor executable installation supervisor on board a selected vehicle that, when executed, (a) determines, for the selected computational component to be installed in a selected vehicle, whether the selected computational component satisfies a requirement and/or restriction associated with the selected computational component when installed, and (b), when the selected computational component can satisfy the requirement and/or restriction, create a set of data structures in the selected computational component and/or a computer readable medium on board the selected vehicle to bind the selected computational component to the selected vehicle, thereby prohibiting the selected computational component, after installation in the selected vehicle, from communicating restricted vehicle information to a processing module in a different vehicle.
