Communication system for controlling or monitoring vehicle components

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• store registration information that indicates whether an application, of one or more applications, is permitted to communicate via an interface of one or more interfaces,
• the one or more interfaces being configured to be used to communicate with one or more sensors of a vehicle,
• the one or more applications being configured to request information from the one or more sensors of the vehicle via the one or more interfaces;
• receive, from the application, a request for vehicle information from a sensor of the one or more sensors;
• verify, based on the registration information, whether the application is permitted to communicate via an interface, of the one or more interfaces, associated with the sensor;
• and
• selectively provide the request for the vehicle information to the interface based on verifying whether the application is permitted to communicate via the interface.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, interface information associated with a plurality of interfaces used to communicate with a plurality of components of a vehicle;
• receiving, by the device, application information associated with a plurality of applications configured to request information from at least one component, of the plurality of components, via at least one interface of the plurality of interfaces;
• storing, by the device and based on the interface information and the application information, registration information that indicates whether an application, of the plurality of applications, is permitted to communicate via one or more of the plurality of interfaces;
• receiving, by the device and from the application, a request for vehicle information from a component of the plurality of components;
• verifying, by the device and based on the registration information, whether the application is permitted to communicate via an interface, of the plurality of interfaces, associated with the component;
• and
• selectively providing, by the device, the request for the vehicle information to the interface based on verifying whether the application is permitted to communicate via the interface.
