Abstract

A vehicle network system is configured to detect unauthorized intrusions by a passenger-owned device, and to identify the passenger-owned device based at least in part on stored information representative of network communications. The vehicle network system can be further configured to determine a position of the intruding passenger-owned device within a passenger area of the vehicle and to obtain a name and/or camera image of a passenger associated with the device. The position of the intruding device can be identified based at least in part on communications between the intruding device and one or more network-access devices distributed throughout the passenger area.
