SERVER AND SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366793 titled 'SERVER AND SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a server that distributes software to vehicles, prioritizing distribution to a second vehicle over a first vehicle. The first vehicle communicates directly with the server, while the second vehicle receives software via mobile equipment connected to the server.
- The server classifies vehicles into first and second categories for software distribution.
- Software is prioritized for distribution to the second vehicle over the first vehicle.
- The first vehicle communicates wirelessly with the server for direct software distribution.
- The second vehicle receives software through mobile equipment connected to the server.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for updating software in vehicles, ensuring that critical updates are prioritized for certain vehicles over others.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently distributing software updates to a fleet of vehicles, ensuring that important updates reach the vehicles that need them most urgently.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved software update distribution efficiency, timely delivery of critical updates, and better overall management of software updates for a fleet of vehicles.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Optimizing Software Distribution in Vehicles for Improved Fleet Management"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be systems used in the telecommunications industry for prioritizing data transmission to different devices based on their importance or urgency.
Unanswered Questions
How does the server determine which vehicles are classified as first or second?
The abstract does not provide details on the criteria or algorithm used by the server to classify vehicles into first and second categories for software distribution.
What type of mobile equipment is used to facilitate software distribution to the second vehicle?
The abstract mentions that the second vehicle receives software via mobile equipment connected to the server, but it does not specify the type of mobile equipment or how it functions in the distribution process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server that distributes software, includes one or more processors configured to: classify a plurality of vehicles that is software distribution targets into a first vehicle and a second vehicle; and prioritize software distribution to the second vehicle over software distribution to the first vehicle. The first vehicle is configured to wirelessly communicate with the server, and receive the software distributed by the server directly from the server. The second vehicle is configured to communicate with mobile equipment that wirelessly communicates with the server, and receive the software distributed by the server via the mobile equipment.
