METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR OTA BROADCAST EFFICIENCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022883 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR OTA BROADCAST EFFICIENCY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that broadcasts a query to multiple vehicles within a certain radius. The system receives responses indicating vehicle motion data and aggregates this data to determine when vehicles are present and stationary within the broadcast radius. Additionally, the system determines time windows that would result in a high percentage of completed delivery of a vehicle software update. It then instructs a transmission point to broadcast the update during these determined time windows.
- The system broadcasts a query to multiple vehicles within a certain radius.
- Responses are received indicating vehicle motion data.
- The data is aggregated to determine when vehicles are present and stationary within the broadcast radius.
- Time windows are determined to achieve a high percentage of completed delivery of a vehicle software update.
- The system instructs a transmission point to broadcast the update during the determined time windows.
Potential Applications:
- Efficient delivery of vehicle software updates.
- Real-time monitoring of vehicle motion data.
- Improved coordination and synchronization of software updates across a fleet of vehicles.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures that software updates are delivered to vehicles when they are present and not stationary.
- Optimizes the delivery of software updates to achieve a high percentage of completed delivery.
- Reduces the time required to deliver software updates to vehicles.
Benefits:
- Minimizes the risk of incomplete software updates due to vehicles being stationary or out of range.
- Increases the efficiency of software update delivery, reducing the time and resources required.
- Enables faster deployment of critical software updates to improve vehicle performance and safety.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system broadcasts a vehicle state query to a plurality of vehicles within an atsc broadcast radius at a plurality of different time windows. the system receives responses to the state query indicating at least vehicle motion data. the system aggregates the data to determine time windows when vehicles are present within the broadcast radius and are not stationary when vehicles are present within the broadcast radius and are stationary. further, the system determines time windows projected to result in completed delivery above a predefined threshold percentage of a vehicle software update designated for broadcast, chosen for delivering the update to the threshold percentage as quickly as possible with higher data rate transmission relative to other time windows. the system automatically instructs an atsc transmission point to broadcast the vehicle software update during the determined time windows.
