Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of receiving a notification of an available software update configured to alter functionality of a transport, enabling the altered functionality for an amount of time, and responsive to the altered functionality not being utilized during the amount of time, sending a notification indicating a negative outcome.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving a software update, configured to alter functionality of a transport, in a memory of a transport; enabling a timer for monitoring use of the altered functionality by the transport for an amount of time based on one or more profile characteristics comprising a driving history of a transport occupant and selected to accommodate amount of use opportunities by the transport occupant of the altered functionality; and responsive to the altered functionality not being utilized by the transport during operation for the amount of time, sending a notification indicating a negative outcome to a server.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification indicating the negative outcome comprises one or more of a number of other transports that rejected the update, an outcome of a rejection over a period of time, a number of other transports that accepted the update, and an outcome of an acceptance over a period of time.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of time is based on an average time that other transports engaged the software update.
4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing, by the transport, a delta indicating a difference experienced during transport operation between a pre download result of the software update and a post download result of the software update.
5 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing an indication of a level of satisfaction before the amount of time ends; and permanently enabling the altered functionality in the transport.
6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing an indication of a level of dissatisfaction before the amount of time ends; requesting a change to the altered functionality; and utilizing a level of functionality prior to the altered functionality.
7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
receiving a notification from a number of transports above a threshold indicating satisfaction with tested altered functionality within the amount of time; and incorporating the altered functionality into a baseline software release for newly manufactured or updated transports.
8 . A system, comprising:
a processor, and a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:
receive a software update, configured to alter functionality of a transport, in a memory of a transport;
enable a timer to monitor use of the altered functionality by the transport for an amount of time based on one or more profile characteristics comprising a driving history of a transport occupant and selected to accommodate amount of use opportunities by the transport occupant of the altered functionality; and
responsive to the altered functionality not being utilized by the transport in operation for the amount of time, send a notification that indicates a negative outcome to a server.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the notification that indicates the negative outcome comprises one or more of a number of other transports that rejected the update, an outcome of a rejection over a period of time, a number of other transports that accepted the update, and an outcome of an acceptance over a period of time.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the amount of time is based on an average time that other transports engaged the software update.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are configured to:
provide, by the transport, a delta indicating a difference experienced during transport operation between a pre download result of the software update and a post download result of the software update.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are configured to:
provide an indication of a level of satisfaction before the amount of time ends; and permanently enable the altered functionality in the transport.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are configured to:
provide an indication of a level of dissatisfaction before the amount of time ends; request a change to the altered functionality; and utilize a level of functionality prior to the altered functionality.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are configured to:
receive a notification from a number of transports above a threshold that indicates satisfaction with tested altered functionality within the amount of time; and incorporate the altered functionality into a baseline software release for newly manufactured or updated transports.
15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
receiving a software update, configured to alter functionality of a transport, in a memory of a transport; enabling a timer for monitoring use of the altered functionality by the transport for an amount of time based on one or more profile characteristics comprising a driving history of a transport occupant and selected to accommodate amount of use opportunities by the transport occupant of the altered functionality; and responsive to the altered functionality not being utilized by the transport during operation for the amount of time, sending a notification indicating a negative outcome to a server.
16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the notification indicating the negative outcome comprises one or more of a number of other transports that rejected the update, an outcome of a rejection over a period of time, a number of other transports that accepted the update, and an outcome of an acceptance over a period of time.
17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the amount of time is based on an average time that other transports engaged the software update.
18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform:
providing, by the transport, a delta indicating a difference experience during transport operation between a pre download result of the software update and a post download result of the software update.
19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform:
providing an indication of a level of satisfaction before the amount of time; and permanently enabling the altered functionality in the transport.
20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
providing an indication of a level of dissatisfaction before the amount of time ends; requesting a change to the altered functionality; and utilizing a level of functionality prior to the altered functionality.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
