Abstract
A communication system comprises: a hub apparatus configured to communicate with at least one external device; a terminal configured to establish a connection with the hub apparatus to control the at least one external device; and a vehicle configured to establish a connection with the hub apparatus to control the at least one external device, determine whether there is an overlapped control target with a control target of the terminal among the at least one external device, and when it is determined that there is the overlapped control target, take priority to control the overlapped control target.
Claims16
A communication system comprising:
- a hub apparatus configured to communicate with at least one external device;
- a terminal configured to establish a connection with the hub apparatus to control the at least one external device;
- and
- a vehicle comprising a vehicle processor configured to:
- establish a connection with the hub apparatus to control the at least one external device;
- determine whether there is an overlapped control target with a control target of the terminal among the at least one external device;
- and
- when it is determined that there is the overlapped control target, take priority to control the overlapped control target so as to prevent functional collision between the vehicle and the terminal for control of the at least one external device,
- wherein the vehicle processor is configured to request a control target list of the terminal from the terminal if an ignition of the vehicle is turned on, and
- wherein the terminal is configured to send the control target list of the terminal to the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle processor is configured to compare the control target list of the terminal sent from the terminal with a control target list of the vehicle to determine whether there is the overlapped control target with the control target of the terminal among the at least one external device.
7 more elements
A communication system comprising:
- a vehicle comprising a vehicle processor configured to send a control command for at least one external device;
- a terminal configured to send a control command for the at least one external device;
- and
- a hub apparatus configured to determine that there is an overlapped control target between the vehicle and the terminal when control commands for a same control target are received from both the vehicle and the terminal, and give control priority over the overlapped control target to the vehicle when it is determined that there is the overlapped control target so as to prevent functional collision between the vehicle and the terminal for control of the at least one external device,
- wherein the hub apparatus is configured to give control priority over the overlapped control target to the vehicle when a distance between the vehicle and the terminal is less than a predetermined value.
2 more elements
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle communication device configured to communicate with at least one of a terminal and a hub apparatus, the hub apparatus being configured to communicated with the at least one external device, and the terminal being configured to connect with the hub apparatus for control of the at least one external device;
- and
- a vehicle controller comprising a vehicle processor configured to determine whether there is an overlapped control target between the terminal and the vehicle when an ignition of the vehicle is turned on, and set up control priority over the overlapped control target when there is the overlapped control target so as to prevent functional collision between the vehicle and the terminal for control of the at least one external device,
- wherein the vehicle processor is configured to request a control target list of the terminal from the terminal if an ignition of the vehicle is turned on, and
- wherein the terminal is configured to send the control target list of the terminal to the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle processor is configured to compare the control target list of the terminal sent from the terminal with a control target list of the vehicle to determine whether there is the overlapped control target with the control target of the terminal among the at least one external device.
2 more elements
A hub apparatus comprising:
- a hub communication device configured to communicate with at least one external device and receive respective control commands for the at least one external device from a vehicle and a terminal;
- a hub controller configured to determine whether there is an overlapped control target between the vehicle and the terminal when control commands for a same control target are received from both the vehicle and the terminal, and give control priority to control the overlapped control target to the vehicle when it is determined that there is the overlapped control target so as to prevent functional collision between the vehicle and the terminal for control of the at least one external device;
- and
- wherein the hub apparatus is configured to give control priority over the overlapped control target to the vehicle when a distance between the vehicle and the terminal is less than a predetermined value.
