Abstract
A method for operating a server, including: establishing a communication connection between the server and a vehicle located in the parking facility via a communication network, the communication network being formed by a communication infrastructure of the parking facility, checking via the communication connection whether a software stored in the processing device of the vehicle must be updated, transmitting, as a function of the check, update data for updating the software to the vehicle via the communication connection using the server so that it is possible to update the software based on the update data while the vehicle is located in the parking facility. Also described is a server, a parking system for vehicles and a computer program.
Claims9
A method for operating a server, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication connection between the server and a vehicle located in a parking facility via a communication network, the communication network being formed by a communication infrastructure of the parking facility;
- checking via the communication connection whether a software stored in a processing device of the vehicle must be updated;
- and
- transmitting, depending on the result of the check, update data for updating the software to the vehicle via the communication connection using the server, so as to provide for updating the software based on the update data while the vehicle is located in the parking facility, wherein the checking and the transmitting are performed during a stage in an autonomous parking operation of the vehicle in which the vehicle is autonomously controlled to be in motion in the parking facility.
A server, comprising:
- a communication interface to communicate via a communication network that is formed by a communication infrastructure of a parking facility;
- a processor to control the communication interface so that the communication interface establishes a communication connection between the server and the vehicle located in a parking facility via the communication network, so that it is possible to check via the communication connection whether a software stored on a processing device of the vehicle must be updated;
- wherein the processor is configured to control the communication interface as a function of the check so that the communication interface transmits update data for updating the software to the vehicle via the communication connection so that the software may be updated based on the update data while the vehicle is located in the parking facility;
- wherein the check and the transmission of the update data are performed during a stage in an autonomous parking operation of the vehicle in which the vehicle is autonomously controlled to be in motion in the parking facility.
A parking system for vehicles, comprising:
- a parking facility having a communication infrastructure to form a communication network;
- and
- a server, including:
- a communication interface to communicate via a communication network that is formed by a communication infrastructure of a parking facility;
- a processor to control the communication interface so that the communication interface establishes a communication connection between the server and the vehicle located in a parking facility via the communication network, so that it is possible to check via the communication connection whether a software stored on a processing device of the vehicle must be updated;
- wherein the processor is configured to control the communication interface as a function of the check so that the communication interface transmits update data for updating the software to the vehicle via the communication connection so that the software may be updated based on the update data while the vehicle is located in the parking facility;
- wherein the check and the transmission of the update data are performed during a stage in an autonomous parking operation of the vehicle in which the vehicle is autonomously controlled to be in motion in the parking facility.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:
- a program code arrangement having program code for operating a server, by performing the following:
- establishing a communication connection between the server and a vehicle located in a parking facility via a communication network, the communication network being formed by a communication infrastructure of the parking facility;
- checking via the communication connection whether a software stored in a processing device of the vehicle must be updated;
- and
- transmitting, depending on the result of the check, update data for updating the software to the vehicle via the communication connection using the server, so as to provide for updating the software based on the update data while the vehicle is located in the parking facility, wherein the checking and the transmitting are performed during a stage in an autonomous parking operation of the vehicle in which the vehicle is autonomously controlled to be in motion in the parking facility.
