Abstract
A method and system for correlating a route with an external Wi-Fi network connection is disclosed herein. The aspects disclosed herein include generating information about the correlation, and employing the correlation for network operations, such as, communicating a file (or files), allowing communication from a vehicle, and/or performing routine updates via a vehicle.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for performing a process;
- a processor that executes the program of instructions to perform the process, the process comprising:
- recording external Wi-Fi network connectivity at a plurality of points along a route, in response to a vehicle travelling the route, wherein the route is demarcated into a plurality of regions;
- storing the external Wi-Fi network connectivity for each of the plurality of points in which a recordation is made;
- associating, based on the network connectivity measured, each of the plurality of regions with a data size limit;
- receiving the route as an input;
- determining whether to perform a data transfer based on the data size limit associated with the route being equal to or larger than data required to perform the data transfer;
- and
- performing the data transfer based on the determination of whether to perform the data transfer.

- associating, based on the network connectivity measured, each of the plurality of regions with a data size limit;
- receiving, at the vehicle, an external Wi-Fi network operation to communicate data of a predetermined size;
- determining, in response to the vehicle travelling the route, whether the data is communicable based on the association of the plurality of regions and the data size limit, by establishing whether an amount of bandwidth associated with the route is equal to or greater than an amount required to download the data;
- and
- communicating the data by the vehicle based on the determination of whether the data is communicable.

A system, comprising:
- a Wi-Fi radio configured to connect to Wi-Fi networks;
- a global positioning system receiver configured to provide a current location of a vehicle;
- a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for performing a process;
- a processor that executes the program of instructions to perform the process, the process comprising:
- recording external Wi-Fi network connectivity at a plurality of points along a route using the Wi-Fi radio and the global positioning system receiver, in response to a vehicle travelling the route, wherein the route is demarcated into a plurality of regions;
- storing the external Wi-Fi network connectivity for each of the plurality of points in which a recordation is made;
- associating, based on the network connectivity measured, each of the plurality of regions with a data size limit;
- receiving the route as an input;
- determining whether to perform a data transfer based on the data size limit associated with the route being equal to or larger than data required to perform the data transfer;
- and
- performing the data transfer based on the determination of whether to perform the data transfer.
