Abstract
In an example, a method receives vehicle data for a plurality of vehicles associated with a geographic region. The method determines, based on the vehicle data, a connected vehicle status of the geographic region. The connected vehicle status reflects an estimated number of connected vehicles in the geographic region at a point in time. The method determines, based on the estimated number of connected vehicles, one or more vehicle functions to be deployed by a server associated with the geographic region. The method deploys, by the server, the one or more vehicle functions.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving vehicle data for a plurality of vehicles associated with a geographic region;
- predicting, based on the vehicle data, a connected vehicle status of the geographic region, the connected vehicle status reflecting an estimated number of connected vehicles in the geographic region at a future point in time;
- determining, based on the estimated number of connected vehicles, one or more vehicle functions to be deployed at the future point in time to a first connected vehicle of the plurality of vehicles associated with the geographic region by a server associated with the geographic region, the first connected vehicle being communicatively coupled with the server at the future point in time;
- processing, by the server associated with the geographic region, data for deploying the one or more vehicle functions in advance of the future point in time;
- and
- deploying, by the server, the one or more vehicle functions to the first connected vehicle at the future point in time when the first connected vehicle is in the geographic region.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations including:
- receiving vehicle data for a plurality of vehicles associated with a geographic region;
- predicting, based on the vehicle data, a connected vehicle status of the geographic region, the connected vehicle status reflecting an estimated number of connected vehicles in the geographic region at a future point in time;
- determining, based on the estimated number of connected vehicles, one or more vehicle functions to be deployed at the future point in time to a first connected vehicle of the plurality of vehicles associated with the geographic region by a server associated with the geographic region, the first connected vehicle being communicatively coupled with the server at the future point in time;
- processing, by the server associated with the geographic region, data for deploying the one or more vehicle functions in advance of the future point in time;
- and
- deploying, by the server, the one or more vehicle functions to the first connected vehicle when the first connected vehicle is in the geographic region.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- means for receiving, by a function deployment control, vehicle data for a plurality of vehicles associated with a geographic region, the function deployment control including logic executed on one or more processors of one or more computing devices;
- means for predicting, by the function deployment control, based on the vehicle data, a connected vehicle status of the geographic region, the connected vehicle status reflecting an estimated number of connected vehicles in the geographic region at a future point in time;
- means for determining, by the function deployment control, based on the estimated number of connected vehicles, one or more vehicle functions to be deployed at the future point in time to a first connected vehicle of the plurality of vehicles associated with the geographic region by a server associated with the geographic region, the first connected vehicle being communicatively coupled with the server at the future point in time;
- means for processing, by the function deployment control at the server associated with the geographic region, data for deploying the one or more vehicle functions in advance of the future point in time;
- and
- means for deploying, by the function deployment control at the server, the one or more vehicle functions when the first connected vehicle is in the geographic region.
