Abstract

A computer-implemented method for managing data traffic comprises connecting at least two telematic devices to a computer system and managing, by the computer system, a connection of the at least two telematic devices to a communication network for receiving data from the communication network by the at least two telematic devices. The method runs at least one telematic application on the computer system or on at least one of the at least two telematic devices based on the data received from the communication network. The computer system controls the at least two telematic devices such that both of the at least two telematic devices receive the data for the at least one telematic application from the communication network at the same time or one of the at least two telematic devices receives the data from the communication network at a first time period whereas the other one of the at least two telematic devices receives the data from the communication network at a second time period different from the first time period.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for managing data traffic, comprising the steps of:

connecting at least two telematic devices to a computer system;
managing by the computer system, connection of the at least two telematic devices to a communication network, for receiving data from the communication network by the at least two telematic devices;
and
running at least one telematic application on the computer system or on at least one of the at least two telematic devices based on the data received from the communication network, wherein
the computer system automatically controls based on environmental conditions the at least two telematic devices such that both of the at least two telematic devices receives the data for the at least one telematic application from the communication network at the same time or one of the at least two telematic devices receives the data from the communication network at a first time period whereas the other one of the at least two telematic devices receives the data from the communication network at a second time period different from the first time period.

2 more elements

Communication system, comprising:

a computer system that connects to at least two telematic devices, and manages connection of the at least two telematic devices to a communication network for transmitting data to the communication network by the at least two telematic devices and/or receiving data from the communication network by the at least two telematic devices;
wherein the computer system implements a virtual composite modem that automatically controls based on environmental conditions the at least two telematic devices such that both of the at least two telematic devices exchange the data for a telematic application with the communication network at the same time or one of the at least two telematic devices exchanges the data with the communication network at a first time period whereas the other one of the at least two telematic devices exchanges the data with the communication network at a second time period different from the first time period, wherein the computer system allows at least one of the at least two telematic devices or any other computer within the computer system runs a telematic application based on the data exchanged with the communication network.
