Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for managing communications for a connected vehicle, such as between the connected vehicle and other connected vehicle and/or between the connected vehicle and infrastructure entities, such as providers of services to the connected vehicle. For example, a communication network, such as a network provided by a network carrier, may include various cloud engines or other network-based servers that manage, coordinate, and/or provision communications between the connected vehicle and other parties, such as vehicles, road devices, buildings, and other infrastructure entities.
Claims19
At least one computer-readable medium, carrying instructions and excluding transitory signals, which when executed by at least one data processor, assists in performing actions for a wirelessly connected vehicle, the instructions comprising:
- transmitting, by a cloud-based network server and to a service provider capable of providing services to a driver of a connected vehicle, parameters associated with occurrence of an event associated with the connected vehicle,
- wherein the parameters include information associated with the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle and information identifying a context for the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the service provider is identified via information associated with multiple service providers stored within a database of a network carrier;
- receiving, at the cloud-based network server and from the service provider, information associated with one or more services to be provided in response to the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle;
- and
- sending, via the cloud-based network server, the information associated with the one or more services to be provided from the service provider to the connected vehicle,
- wherein the information is presented, via a display device, to the driver of the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the instructions thereby provide a network of inclusivity to multiple service providers and facilitate information exchanges between connected vehicles and service providers associated with the network carrier.
A computer-implementable method for performing actions for a wirelessly connected vehicle, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a cloud-based network server and to a service provider capable of providing services to a driver of a connected vehicle, parameters associated with occurrence of an event associated with the connected vehicle,
- wherein the parameters include information associated with the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle and information identifying a context for the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the service provider is identified via information associated with multiple service providers stored within a database of a network carrier;
- receiving, at the cloud-based network server and from the service provider, information associated with one or more services to be provided in response to the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle;
- and
- sending, via the cloud-based network server, the information associated with the one or more services to be provided from the service provider to the connected vehicle,
- wherein the information is presented via a display, to the driver of the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the method thereby provides a network of inclusivity to multiple service providers and facilitates information exchanges between connected vehicles and service providers associated with the network carrier.
At system for performing actions for a wirelessly connected vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- at least one memory, coupled to the at least on hardware processor and carrying instructions, which when executed by the at least on processor:
- transmit, by a cloud-based network server and to a service provider capable of providing services to a driver of a connected vehicle, parameters associated with occurrence of an event associated with the connected vehicle,
- wherein the parameters include information associated with the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle and information identifying a context for the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the service provider is identified via information associated with multiple service providers stored within a database of a network carrier;
- receive, at the cloud-based network server and from the service provider, information associated with one or more services to be provided in response to the occurrence of the event at the connected vehicle;
- and
- send, via the cloud-based network server, the information associated with the one or more services to be provided from the service provider to the connected vehicle,
- wherein the information is presented, via a display device, to the driver of the connected vehicle, and
- wherein the system thereby provides a network of inclusivity to multiple service providers and facilitate information exchanges between connected vehicles and service providers associated with the network carrier.
