Dual-architecture microserver card

A dual-architecture card for use in a deployed product, comprising:

• a closed architecture section;
• an open architecture section, the open architecture section including a microserver, the microserver generating a wireless system adapted to connect to the Internet;
• and
• a security connection between the closed architecture section and the open architecture section, the security connection ensuring proprietary software and data in the closed architecture section is not communicated to the open architecture section.

A method of communicating with a deployed product, comprising:

• installing a dual-architecture card into an electronic controller of a deployed product, the dual-architecture card including a closed architecture section and an open architecture section;
• executing proprietary software on the closed architecture section based on data received from the deployed product;
• transferred processed data from the closed architecture section to the open architecture section for access from the Internet or local computing devices;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting the processed data from the open architecture section to a remote computing device.

An electronic controller for an engine, comprising:

• a closed architecture section for controlling and monitoring the engine;
• an open architecture section including a microserver for generating a wireless system adapted to connect to the Internet;
• and
• a security connection between the closed architecture section and the open architecture section.
