Abstract
A vehicle control method according to an embodiments includes: collecting data in a first communication data format from at least one electronic unit in a vehicle; converting the data collected in the first communication data format into a second communication data format in order to be transmitted to a pre-connected destination; transmitting the converted data to the destination; receiving, from the destination, control data of the second communication data format corresponding to the transmitted data; converting the control data of the second communication data format into the first communication data format; and outputting the control data of the first communication data format to a corresponding electronic unit.
Claims12
A method for a vehicle control system, the method comprising:
- collecting, via a communication unit in the vehicle, data in a first communication data format from any of a plurality of electronic units located in the vehicle, wherein the data comprises operational and state data of an electronic unit among the plurality of electronic units;
- storing the collected data in the first communication data format in a first receiving buffer memory;
- converting the data stored in the first communication data format into a second communication data format in order to be wireless transmitted to a device that is physically external to the vehicle;
- storing the converted data in the second communication data format in a second receiving buffer memory;
- wirelessly transmitting, via a wireless communication unit in the vehicle, the stored data in the second receiving buffer memory to the device;
- receiving, via the wireless communication unit, control data in the second communication data format from the device, wherein the control data corresponds to the stored data that was wirelessly transmitted;
- storing the received control data in the second communication data format in a first transmitting buffer memory;
- converting the received control data in the second communication data format into the first communication data format by dividing the received control data into plural data each having a communication size that is a maximum communication size of the first communication data format;
- storing the plural data comprising the converted control data in the first communication data format in a second transmitting buffer memory;
- outputting the plural data comprising the converted control data in the first communication data format that is stored in the second transmitting buffer memory to the communication unit;
- and
- communicating, via the communication unit in the vehicle, the plural data in the first communication data format to the electronic unit within the vehicle.
