Protecting contents of a smart vault being transported by a self-driving vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, a risk-level R for contents of a smart vault being transported by a self-driving vehicle (SDV), wherein R describes a real-time risk of the contents being stolen from the smart vault while being transported by the SDV that has an SDV on-board computer that controls the SDV; and
in response to determining that R is greater than a predefined risk value, electronically communicating, by one or more processors, an executable instruction to the SDV on-board computer to take a risk-lowering action that will reduce the level of R.

Abstract
A method reduces a risk exposure to an item being transported by a self-driving vehicle (SDV). One or more processors determine a risk-level R for contents of a smart vault that is being transported by the SDV, where R describes a real-time risk of the contents being stolen from the smart vault while being transported by the SDV. In response to determining that R is greater than a predefined risk value, one or more processors electronically communicate an executable instruction to a SDV on-board computer to take a risk-lowering action that will reduce the level of R.

17. A computer program product for protecting contents of a smart vault being transported by a self-driving vehicle (SDV), the computer program product comprising:
-
program instructions executable by a device to determine a risk-level R for contents of a smart vault being transported by a self-driving vehicle (SDV), wherein R describes a real-time risk of the contents being stolen from the smart vault while being transported by the SDV that has an SDV on-board computer that controls the SDV; and program instructions executable by the device to, in response to determining that R is greater than a predefined risk value, electronically communicate an executable instruction to the SDV on-board computer to take a risk-lowering action that will reduce the level of R.

19. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more computer readable memories operably coupled to the one or more processors; and one or more computer readable storage mediums having program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising; program instructions to determine a risk-level R for contents of a smart vault being transported by a self-driving vehicle (SDV), wherein R describes a real-time risk of the contents being stolen from the smart vault while being transported by the SDV that has an SDV on-board computer that controls the SDV; and program instructions to, in response to determining that R is greater than a predefined risk value, electronically communicate an executable instruction to the SDV on-board computer to take a risk-lowering action that will reduce the level of R. - View Dependent Claims (20)
