SERVER AND SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118882 titled 'SERVER AND SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a server that distributes software to vehicles, classifying them into different categories and prioritizing distribution to certain vehicles over others based on their communication capabilities.
- The server classifies vehicles into a first vehicle and a second vehicle.
- Software distribution is prioritized to the second vehicle over the first vehicle.
- The first vehicle communicates wirelessly with the server to receive software directly.
- The second vehicle communicates with mobile equipment that connects to the server to receive software.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for updating software in vehicles, such as for infotainment systems or safety features.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently distributing software updates to a fleet of vehicles with varying communication capabilities.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include faster and more reliable software updates for vehicles, leading to improved performance and security.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in fleet management systems, where software updates are crucial for maintaining the functionality and safety of a large number of vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be remote software updates for electronic devices, such as smartphones or computers, where updates are distributed over the air to improve performance and security.
What is the cost of implementing this technology in existing vehicles?
Implementing this technology in existing vehicles may require hardware upgrades or modifications to enable wireless communication capabilities, which could incur additional costs for vehicle manufacturers and owners.
How does this technology ensure the security of software updates during distribution?
This technology may use encryption and authentication protocols to secure software updates during distribution, ensuring that only authorized vehicles receive and install the updates.
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.
