Abstract
A system comprises a processor configured to subscribe to a broadcast of vehicle-related state changes. The processor is also configured to detect at least one vehicle-related state change in the broadcast that triggers an application launch and launch an application corresponding to the detected vehicle related state change.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- subscribe to a broadcast of vehicle-related state changes through a content delivery network;
- detect a vehicle-related state change in the broadcast that triggers an application launch;
- determine whether a mobile device containing the processor is located within a vehicle or external to a vehicle;
- wherein the launch comprises launching a version of the application based on the determination;
- request a predetermined amount of application-utilizable data from a remote source such that the application can execute using the data if a connection to the remote source is lost;
- download the requested data;
- and
- delay an application launch until the predetermined amount of data has been downloaded.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- subscribing to a broadcast of vehicle-related state changes through a content delivery network;
- detecting at least one vehicle-related state change in the broadcast that triggers an application launch;
- determining whether a mobile device containing the processor is located within a vehicle or external to a vehicle;
- wherein the launch comprises launching a version of the application based on the determination;
- requesting a predetermined amount of application-utilizable data from a remote source such that the application can execute using the data if a connection to the remote source is lost;
- downloading the requested data;
- and
- delaying an application launch until the predetermined amount of data has been downloaded.
