Abstract
A new sensor is detected being added to a vehicle sensor bus. A publication topic is created based on the new sensor. The publication topic is made available via at least a server component operating via the proximity networking radio. Data from the new sensor is added to the publication topic. In response to a subscription to the publication topic via a user device, the data is dynamically presented to the user device via the server component.
Claims20
A mobile gateway comprising:
- a sensor interface configured to communicate via a vehicle sensor bus;
- a proximity networking radio configured to communicate with a user device via a proximity network;
- a radio module configured to communicate with an Internet-connected, cloud gateway;
- a sensor logging component;
- a publish/subscribe interface;
- and
- a processor coupled to the sensor interface, the proximity networking radio, the radio module, the sensor logging component, and the publish/subscribe interface;
- wherein the sensor interface, the proximity networking radio, the radio module, the sensor logging component, the publish/subscribe interface, and the processor are integrated in the mobile gateway located on a motor vehicle and are configured to operate on the motor vehicle;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- detect a new sensor added to the vehicle sensor bus via the sensor logging component;
- determine, via the publish/subscribe interface of the mobile gateway via accessing the cloud gateway, a context in which the sensor is being used;
- create a publication topic based on the new sensor and the context, the publication topic made available via the publish/subscribe interface that is further accessible via the proximity networking radio;
- add sensor data from the new sensor to the publication topic via the sensor logging component;
- in response to creation of the publication topic via the publish/subscribe interface, receive a template from the cloud gateway that defines a view of the sensor data;
- and
- in response to a subscription to the publication topic via the user device, dynamically present the sensor data to a web browser of the user device via a web server using the template to define a web page used to view of the sensor data on the user device.

A method comprising:
- detecting a new sensor added to a vehicle sensor bus via a sensor logging component of a mobile gateway;
- determining, via an Internet-connected, cloud gateway coupled to a publish/subscribe interface of the mobile gateway, a context in which the sensor is being used;
- creating a publication topic based on the new sensor and the context, the publication topic made available via at least a the publish/subscribe interface of the mobile gateway operating via a proximity network and the cloud gateway;
- adding sensor data from the new sensor to the publication topic;
- in response to creation of the publication topic via the publish/subscribe interface, receiving a template from the cloud gateway that defines a view of the sensor data;
- publishing the publication topic for subsequent subscription by a user via a user device that is coupled to the mobile gateway via the proximity network;
- receiving a subscription to the published publication topic from the user via the user device;
- and
- in response to the subscription to the publication topic via the user device, dynamically presenting the data to a web browser of the user device via a server component using the template to define a web page used to view the sensor data on the user device.
