Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one or more embodiments, two or more devices may interface with a computing system over multiple communication channels. A connection may be established between a computing system and two or more devices communicating data using different communication protocols. The communication protocol of the two or more devices may be determined and a general transport protocol for communicating data with the two or more devices based on the respective communication protocols may be imposed on the communication protocol of the two or more devices. Data may be communicated with the two or more devices based on the general transport protocol. An event may be performed at the vehicle computing system or the two or more devices based on the data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method comprising: receiving multiple application requests, from multiple devices using different communication protocols, to connect with a vehicle computing system (VCS); determining the devices' communication protocols; imposing a general transport protocol, transport agnostic of each device's native communication protocol, on the multiple devices' communication protocols, for application request-related communication between the devices and the VCS; a…
