IDENTIFICATION AND COORDINATION OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR VEHICLE TO VEHICLE WIRELESS CONTENT SHARING
Last updated:
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for coordinating the wireless sharing of content between vehicles in a secure and efficient manner. In one embodiment, vehicles recognize when there is an opportunity for them to participate in content sharing, such as when a vehicle is temporarily stopped at a traffic signal, or stuck in traffic, or the like. In response to this opportunity, the vehicle can notify a coordination component, sending a manifest of content it has available for sharing and content that it desires. The coordination component can match two vehicles in location and time, and can facilitate a secure wireless content share transaction. Such a transaction can involve use of ephemeral wireless network parameters, including temporary network names, passwords and/or security keys. Feedback about the success of the content transfer may be reported to system component(s) to improve identification of sharing opportunities in the future.
