Method and apparatus for secure vehicle system access from a remote system
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive a vehicle-access-PIN generation request from a vehicle computing system (VCS);
generate the vehicle-access-PIN;
associate a vehicle with the vehicle-access-PIN;
return the vehicle-access-PIN to the requesting VCS;
receive a validation request, including a validation-PIN, from a non-vehicle computing system (NVCS);
validate the validation-PIN by comparison with stored vehicle-access-PINs to find a match; and
provide access credentials, for a vehicle associated with a stored vehicle-access-PIN that matches the validation-PIN, to the NVCS.

Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a vehicle-access-PIN generation request from a vehicle computing system (VCS). The processor is also configured to generate the vehicle-access-PIN. The processor is additionally configured to associate a vehicle with the vehicle-access-PIN. Further, the processor is configured to return the vehicle-access-PIN to the requesting VCS. Also, the processor is configured to receive a validation request, including a validation-PIN, from a non-vehicle computing system (NVCS). In addition, the processor is configured to validate the validation-PIN by comparison with stored vehicle-access-PINs to find a match and provide access credentials, for a vehicle associated with a stored vehicle-access-PIN that matches the validation-PIN, to the NVCS.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a vehicle-access-PIN generation request from a vehicle computing system (VCS); generating the vehicle-access-PIN; associating a vehicle with the vehicle-access-PIN; returning the vehicle-access-PIN to the requesting VCS; receiving a validation request, including a validation-PIN, from a non-vehicle computing system (NVCS); validating the validation-PIN by comparison with stored vehicle-access-Ms to find a match; and providing access credentials, for a vehicle associated with a stored vehicle-access-PIN that matches the validation-PIN, to the NVCS. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
