Abstract
The disclosure is directed to methods and systems for provisioning mobile electric vehicles with various operational settings data transmitted over the air. A vehicle or its components may operate according to operational settings corresponding to operational settings data included in the vehicle components. A server that is remote to the vehicle may comprise operational settings data and may transmit operational settings data to the vehicle. The server may transmit operational settings data automatically, such as on a periodic basis, in response to a request, such as from a user or from a vehicle component or anytime new or updated operational settings data are available for the vehicle or its components.
Claims9
A system for over-the-air provisioning of a vehicle's operational settings, the system comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly with a remote server to receive operational settings data from the server;
- a memory comprising executable software instructions and configured to update the software instructions in response to receiving operational settings data from the server;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the updated software instructions to cause an actuator to operate according to the operational settings data received from the server,
- wherein the actuator is configured to apply a first force, according to the operational settings data, to a roller to cause the roller to contact a wheel of the vehicle with a second force, wherein the roller is configured to rotate in response to a rotation of the wheel when the roller is in contact with the wheel, and
- wherein the actuator is configured to transition the roller, according to the operational settings data, from a first position to a second position.
