End to end system for service delivery to and from a vehicle using a dongle
First Claim
1. A method of geo-proximity access for service delivery to a target vehicle, comprising:
- configuring one or more cloud based servers having a first group of one or more processors and one or more cloud based databases;
executing computer-executable instructions on the first group of one or more processors;
executing instructions to ensure a secure access by a service delivery person associated with a service delivery vehicle to the target vehicle;
receiving current GPS coordinates of the target vehicle from a first client device associated with the target vehicle;
receiving current GPS coordinates of the service delivery vehicle from a second client device associated with the service delivery person;
monitoring a distance between the service delivery vehicle and the target vehicle;
waking-up an on-board dongle module of the target vehicle while establishing a close proximity by a first threshold distance between the service delivery vehicle and the target vehicle;
causing the target vehicle to give an alert via any of i) honking a horn, ii) flashing lights of the target vehicle, and iii) activating a security alarm of the target vehicle while in a close proximity established by a second threshold distance between the service delivery vehicle and the target vehicle;
unlocking or opening a door including a trunk of the target vehicle for the service delivery person to perform one or more services with the target vehicle, where the one or more services on the target vehicle to be performed include any of package exchange with the target vehicle, vehicle maintenance to the target vehicle, cleaning the target vehicle, and vehicle repair of the target vehicle; and
locking the target vehicle after establishing a fourth threshold distance between the service delivery vehicle and the target vehicle.

Abstract
A dongle module to be installed in a vehicle is discussed. The dongle module has memory buffers and processors. The dongle module also has a first transceiver that couples the on-board diagnostic (OBD) port of the vehicle to communicate with a fault and diagnostic module of the vehicle. A second transceiver uses wireless communications to communicate with one or more client devices. An RF transmitter transmits RF signals to Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module of the vehicle. A mapping module either include a first map calculating chip to calculate map coordinates of the vehicle, or periodically receive map coordinates from a client device. A security module is configured either to receive, or to implement an algorithm to determine, a rolling security key of the RKE module of the vehicle. The security module also receives commands to be transmitted by the RF transmitter to the RKE module to be executed.
