Computer-Implemented Method and System for a Time-Controlled Delivery of Updatable Services to On-Board Systems of Vehicles Which Use the Services

A computer-implemented method for time-controlled delivery of updatable services to an on-board system of service-utilizing vehicles, the method comprising:

• receiving data pertaining to a network loading of a backend server carrying out a delivery of services and to an availability of a data connection of service-utilizing vehicles to the backend server over a predetermined length of time;
• evaluating the data to identify an optimal delivery period of the updatable services for each service-utilizing vehicle, in which the network loading of the backend server is distributed within the predetermined length of time as a function of the availability of the data connection of the service-utilizing vehicles to the backend server;
• and
• delivering the updatable services by the backend server to the on-board system of the service-utilizing vehicles in the optimal delivery period identified for each service-utilizing vehicle.

A system for time-controlled delivery of updatable services to an on-board system of service-utilizing vehicles, comprising:

• a plurality of service-utilizing vehicles comprising an on-board system configured to establish a data connection to a backend server to receive the updatable services;
• and
• a backend server configured to:
• deliver the updatable services to the on-board system of the service-utilizing vehicles;
• receive data pertaining to a network loading and to an availability of a data connection of the service-utilizing vehicles over a predetermined length of time;
• evaluate the acquired data to identify an optimal delivery period of the updatable services for each service-utilizing vehicle, in which the network loading of the backend server is distributed within the predetermined length of time as a function of the availability of the data connection of the service-utilizing vehicles to the backend server;
• and
• deliver the updatable services to the on-board system of the service-utilizing vehicles in the optimal delivery period identified for each service-utilizing vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving data pertaining to a network loading of a backend server carrying out a delivery of services and to an availability of a data connection of service-utilizing vehicles to the backend server over a predetermined length of time;
• evaluating the data to identify an optimal delivery period of the updatable services for each service-utilizing vehicle, in which the network loading of the backend server is distributed within the predetermined length of time as a function of the availability of the data connection of the service-utilizing vehicles to the backend server;
• and
• delivering the updatable services by the backend server to the on-board system of the service-utilizing vehicles in the optimal delivery period identified for each service-utilizing vehicle.
