Abstract
A method and system provide an interface in a vehicle for connecting to a mobile computing device for exchanging data between the interface and the mobile computing device, the interface being connected to a vehicle data bus for exchanging data with at least one vehicle system. The data exchange between the mobile computing device and the interface occurs according to a first data protocol and the data exchange between the interface and the at least one vehicle system occurs according to a second data protocol that differs from the first data protocol.
Claims14
An interface in a vehicle for connecting to a mobile computing device for exchanging data between the interface and the mobile computing device, comprising:
- an administrative unit that is connected to a vehicle data bus for exchanging data by the interface with at least one vehicle system,
- wherein:
- the exchange of data between the mobile computing device and the interface occurs according to a first data protocol and the exchange of data between the interface and the at least one vehicle system occurs according to a second data protocol that differs from the first data protocol;
- and
- the administrative unit is configured to:
- receive at least one instruction from the mobile computing device and at least one instruction from the at least one vehicle system for invoking a function of the vehicle;
- determine whether the at least one instruction from the mobile computing device is for executing the function in a manner that conflicts with the at least one instruction from the at least one vehicle system;
- and
- in response to a determined conflict, determine which of the instructions to execute.
A method for exchanging data between a mobile computing device and a vehicle system via an interface between the mobile computing device and a vehicle data bus, comprising:
- performing, by a processor, the exchange of data between the mobile computing device and the interface according to a first data protocol;
- performing,by the processor, the exchange of data between the interface and the at least one vehicle system according to a second data protocol that differs from the first data protocol.
- receiving, by the processor, at least one instruction from the mobile computing device and at least one instruction from the at least one vehicle system for invoking a function of the vehicle,
- determining , by the processor, whether the at least one instruction from the mobile computing device is for executing the function in a manner that conflicts with the at least one instrution from the at least one vehicle system;
- and
- in response to a determined conflict, determining, by the processor, which of the instructions to execute.
A method for exchanging data, comprising:
- performing, by a processor, the following:
- exchanging data between the Internet and a mobile computing device via a first interface;
- and
- exchanging the data between the mobile computing device and a vehicle system by (a) exchanging the data between the mobile computing device and a second interface according to a first data protocol, and (b) exchanging the data between the second interface and a vehicle data bus of the vehicle system according to a second data protocol that differs from the first data protocol;
- determining whether an instruction from the Internet is for executing a function in a manner that conflicts with an instruction from the vehicle system;
- and
- in response to a determined conflict, determining which of the instructions to execute.
