Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a request for communication between an application executed by the processor and a wirelessly connected vehicle computing system (VCS). The processor is also configured to confirm VCS compatibility with functionality or resources requested by an application originated communication request. The processor is further configured to translate the request to a VCS language or an application language, based on whether the VCS or the application is an intended recipient and pass the translated request to the intended recipient
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a request for communication between an application executed by the processor and a wirelessly connected vehicle computing system (VCS);
- confirm VCS compatibility with functionality or resources requested by an application originated communication request;
- translate the request to a VCS language or an application language, based on whether the VCS or the application is an intended recipient;
- and
- pass the translated request to the intended recipient.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request for communication between an application on a mobile device and a wirelessly connected vehicle computing system (VCS);
- confirming, via the mobile device VCS compatibility with functionality or resources requested by an application originated communication request;
- translating the request to a VCS language or an application language, based on whether the VCS or the application is an intended recipient;
- and
- passing the translated request to the intended recipient.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a mobile device processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a request for communication between an application on a mobile device and a wirelessly connected vehicle computing system (VCS);
- confirming, via the mobile device VCS compatibility with functionality or resources requested by an application originated communication request;
- translating the request to a VCS language or an application language, based on whether the VCS or the application is an intended recipient;
- and
- passing the translated request to the intended recipient.
