CAR APPLICATIONS

A digital key framework (e.g., that is executed by a computing device, such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, a smartwatch, etc.) may provide applications with data about a vehicle (e.g., a motorcycle, a bus, an RV, a semi-trailer truck, a tractor or other type of farm equipment, a train, a plane, a drone, a helicopter, a personal transport vehicle, etc.) to enable the applications to provide more integrated, contextual, and helpful services. The digital key framework may serve as a dedicated interface for applications (e.g., navigation applications), enabling seamless integration with various services and functionalities. Such integration may allow mapping and navigation apps, car-sharing platforms, service providers, and other applications to access contextual information provided by digital key framework, enhancing their offerings and providing more personalized experiences to a user. Other benefits may include, but are not limited to, efficient maintenance management, convenient refueling/charging assistance, optimized route planning, increased vehicle safety, seamless family sharing, parental controls and restricted driving, and other innovative use cases

CHILD SAFETY FEATURES

A system may include computing devices (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a wearable device, a tracking tag, an Internet of Things (IoT) booster seat, an IoT adaptive headrest, etc.) and vehicles (e.g., an automobile, a motorcycle, a bus, a recreational vehicle (RV), a semi-trailer truck, a tractor or other type of farm equipment, train, a plane, a boat, a helicopter, a personal transport vehicle, etc.). Based on a location of a child with respect to the vehicles (which may be determined using, e.g., Bluetooth™, ultra-wideband technology, sensors of the vehicles, etc.), the system may perform actions to improve child safety. For example, based on the location of the child, the vehicles may change vehicle settings to those suitable for a child (e.g., enable child safety locks, disable power window controls in the rear seats, adjust airbag deployment based on the presence and size of the child, etc.). In this way, the techniques may facilitate the implementation of protection measures for children, ensuring their safety in and near vehicles
