Abstract
A system includes a processor to execute instructions to, upon instantiation of a control application in a vehicle, retrieve (a) configuration data specifying one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle, and (b) settings data specifying one or more current settings for the control application; monitor a vehicle network for request from a remote device for a selected feature of the control application in the vehicle; determine from the configuration data whether the selected feature is included in the one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle; and, if the selected feature is included, actuate a component in the vehicle based on the selected feature and the settings data.
Claims18
A system comprising a computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions to:
- upon instantiation of a control application in a vehicle, retrieve (a) configuration data specifying one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle, wherein the configuration data includes priority data prioritizing among the one or more features, and (b) settings data specifying one or more current settings for the control application;
- monitor a vehicle network for request from a remote device for a selected feature of the control application in the vehicle;
- determine from the configuration data whether the selected feature is included in the one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle;
- and
- in response to the selected feature being included, based on the configuration data including the priority data, actuate a component in the vehicle based on the selected feature and the settings data.
A method, comprising:
- upon instantiation of a control application in a vehicle, retrieving (a) configuration data specifying one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle, wherein the configuration data includes priority data prioritizing among the one or more features, and (b) settings data specifying one or more current settings for the control application;
- monitoring a vehicle network for request from a remote device for a selected feature of the control application in the vehicle;
- determining from the configuration data whether the selected feature is included in the one or more features available to the control application in the vehicle;
- and
- in response to the selected feature being included, based on the configuration data including the priority data, actuating a component in the vehicle based on the selected feature and the settings data.
