MAP UPDATE METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237802 titled 'MAP UPDATE METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application that involves updating maps in a vehicle using over-the-air (OTA) technology. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- Receiving a message from a map server indicating the availability of a map update.
- Sending a request message to an OTA upgrade master node apparatus in the vehicle to query for the map update.
- Receiving a feedback message from the OTA upgrade master node apparatus confirming the request.
- Sending a message to the map server to start downloading the map update.
- Receiving the map update data from the map server.
- Updating the map in the vehicle using the received map update data.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles to keep the maps up to date without requiring physical updates or visits to service centers.
- Transportation and logistics: Vehicles used for transportation and logistics can benefit from accurate and updated maps, improving route planning and efficiency.
- Ride-hailing and navigation services: Companies providing ride-hailing or navigation services can ensure that their drivers have the latest maps, enhancing the overall user experience.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Outdated maps: Traditional map updates require physical media or manual updates, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient. This technology solves the problem by enabling OTA updates, ensuring that the maps in the vehicle are always up to date.
- Inefficient route planning: Outdated maps can lead to inefficient route planning, resulting in longer travel times and increased fuel consumption. By updating the maps in real-time, this technology helps solve this problem and improves overall efficiency.
Benefits of this technology:
- Convenience: OTA updates eliminate the need for physical updates, making the map update process more convenient for vehicle owners and operators.
- Accuracy: By regularly updating the maps, this technology ensures that the information provided to drivers is accurate and reliable.
- Efficiency: Real-time map updates enable more efficient route planning, leading to time and cost savings for vehicle operators.
Original Abstract Submitted
Receiving a map update indication message from a map server; sending a first map update query request message to an OTA upgrade master node apparatus in a vehicle based on the map update indication message; receiving a first map update query feedback message that is fed back by the OTA upgrade master node apparatus based on the first map update query request message; sending a map data download start message to the map server in response to the first map update query feedback message; receiving map update data sent by the map server; and updating a map in the vehicle based on the map update data.
