[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the solutions and effects of the embodiments of the present invention, two specific application examples are given below. Those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are only for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and any specific details thereof are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A vehicle-side personal privacy policy management system includes a privacy policy creation module, a privacy policy management module and a privacy policy update module, wherein:

[0035] The privacy policy creation module is used to create the configuration information of the privacy policy and obtain the privacy policy;

[0036] Privacy policy management module, used to change the activation status of the privacy policy and record the changes;

[0037] The privacy policy update module is used to update the privacy policy when the vehicle functions are upgraded.

[0038] In one example, the configuration information includes vehicle model, privacy policy name, vehicle version, privacy policy version, privacy policy content, and privacy policy description.

[0039] In one example, a vehicle function upgrade changes the type of configuration information, and the privacy policy update module updates the configuration information to implement a privacy policy update.

[0040] Specifically, the present invention realizes the standardized management and timely update of personal privacy policies through the vehicle-side personal privacy policy management system, thereby improving the efficiency of vehicle personal privacy policy management and update.

[0041] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall vehicle design architecture of a personal privacy policy management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0042] The overall design architecture of the personal privacy policy management system is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the privacy policy creation module of the personal privacy policy management platform is used to create vehicle-side personal privacy policies. The information that needs to be configured when creating a privacy policy includes vehicle model, privacy policy name, vehicle version, privacy policy version, privacy policy content, privacy policy description, etc.

[0043] The privacy policy management module of the personal privacy policy management platform is used to manage privacy policies, including privacy policy configuration information, privacy policy activation status (enabled / disabled), etc. When the privacy policy is not enabled: the privacy policy is not effective and can only be pushed to the specified vehicle manually (such as by entering the VIN). When the vehicle side requests the privacy policy from the cloud, it cannot obtain the version number of the current privacy policy (used for vehicle-side testing of the privacy policy). The editing, deletion, and downloading of the privacy policy in the disabled state are uncontrolled. When the privacy policy is enabled: when the vehicle side requests the privacy policy from the cloud, the version number of the current privacy policy can be obtained. In the enabled state, the privacy policy can be downloaded but cannot be edited or deleted. The personal privacy policy management platform supports the management of privacy policy signing records, including the vehicle version, file version, and privacy policy authorization status statistics (authorized / unauthorized ratio and number of vehicles, authorization ratio and number of vehicles for each version, etc.) of the vehicle signing the privacy policy. It supports filtering user privacy policy signing records by vehicle VIN, user account, signing time, and version information.

[0044] When vehicle function upgrades result in changes in the processing of personal information, or when there are new requirements in national laws and regulations, it is necessary to update the vehicle-side personal privacy policy. The creation of an updated privacy policy is completed in the privacy policy update module of the personal privacy policy management platform.

[0045] After each startup or OTA upgrade, the vehicle sends a request to the personal privacy policy management platform to check whether the privacy policy has been updated and uploads the vehicle version number and the privacy policy version number. After receiving the request, the personal privacy policy management platform determines whether there is an updated privacy policy (first compare the vehicle version number, and then compare the privacy policy version number under the same vehicle version number to find out whether there is an updated version of the privacy policy). If so, a new privacy policy version number and privacy policy download URL will be issued, and then the vehicle terminal will compare the privacy policy version to determine whether the privacy policy needs to be updated. After obtaining the new privacy policy, the vehicle terminal will clearly inform the user and obtain the user's authorization, record the user's authorization result and feedback the authorization result to the personal privacy policy management platform. The vehicle will clearly inform the user of the personal privacy policy and obtain the user's authorization on the vehicle terminal.

[0046] Example 2

[0058] Determine whether the privacy policy has been updated. If so, issue the new privacy policy version number and privacy policy download URL;

[0059] After obtaining the new privacy policy, the vehicle computer will inform the user and obtain the user's authorization, record the user's authorization result and provide feedback on the authorization result, and determine whether to update the privacy policy based on the feedback result.

[0060] In one example, determining whether the privacy policy is updated includes:

[0061] First compare the vehicle version number. If the vehicle version numbers are the same, compare the privacy policy version number. If they are inconsistent, the privacy policy has been updated.

[0062] Specifically, the privacy policy creation module of the personal privacy policy management platform is used to create vehicle-side personal privacy policies. The information that needs to be configured to create a privacy policy includes vehicle model, privacy policy name, vehicle version, privacy policy version, privacy policy content, privacy policy description, etc.

[0063] The privacy policy management module of the personal privacy policy management platform is used to manage privacy policies, including privacy policy configuration information, privacy policy activation status (enabled / disabled), etc. When the privacy policy is not enabled: the privacy policy is not effective and can only be pushed to the specified vehicle manually (such as by entering the VIN). When the vehicle side requests the privacy policy from the cloud, it cannot obtain the version number of the current privacy policy (used for vehicle-side testing of the privacy policy). The editing, deletion, and downloading of the privacy policy in the disabled state are uncontrolled. When the privacy policy is enabled: when the vehicle side requests the privacy policy from the cloud, the version number of the current privacy policy can be obtained. In the enabled state, the privacy policy can be downloaded but cannot be edited or deleted. The personal privacy policy management platform supports the management of privacy policy signing records, including the vehicle version, file version, and privacy policy authorization status statistics (authorized / unauthorized ratio and number of vehicles, authorization ratio and number of vehicles for each version, etc.) of the vehicle signing the privacy policy. It supports filtering user privacy policy signing records by vehicle VIN, user account, signing time, and version information.

[0064] When vehicle function upgrades result in changes in the processing of personal information, or when there are new requirements in national laws and regulations, it is necessary to update the vehicle-side personal privacy policy. The creation of an updated privacy policy is completed in the privacy policy update module of the personal privacy policy management platform.

[0065] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of privacy policy update and authorization interaction according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0066] like Figure 3As shown, after each startup or OTA upgrade, the vehicle sends a request to the personal privacy policy management platform to check whether the privacy policy has been updated and uploads the vehicle version number and the privacy policy version number. After receiving the request, the personal privacy policy management platform determines whether there is an updated privacy policy (first compare the vehicle version number, and then compare the privacy policy version number under the same vehicle version number to find out whether there is an updated version of the privacy policy). If so, a new privacy policy version number and privacy policy download URL are issued, and then the vehicle terminal compares the privacy policy version to determine whether the privacy policy needs to be updated. After obtaining the new privacy policy, the vehicle terminal notifies the user significantly and obtains the user's authorization, records the user's authorization result and feeds the authorization result back to the personal privacy policy management platform. The vehicle notifies the user significantly of the personal privacy policy and obtains the user's authorization on the vehicle terminal.
