COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE, SERVER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18171758 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE, SERVER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a communication system for vehicles that can receive data from an external server while traveling to a destination. The system includes a communication device and a control device.
- The communication device is used to communicate with a server outside of the vehicle.
- The control device is responsible for controlling the communication device and managing the data reception process.
- The system is designed to receive predetermined data from the server while the vehicle is traveling along a specific travel route.
- The control device acquires the first and second sections of the travel route.
- The first section is where the data is received, and the second section is where the data is not received.
- The control device controls the communication device to receive the data while the vehicle is traveling in the first section.
- The control device also ensures that an interruption process is completed before the vehicle enters the second section.
- The interruption process refers to the process of temporarily stopping the reception of data in a resumable state.
Overall, this patent application describes a system that allows vehicles to receive data from a server while traveling to a destination, with a specific focus on managing interruptions in data reception during different sections of the travel route.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication system includes: a communication device configured to communicate with a server external to a vehicle; and a control device. The control device is configured to: control the communication device to receive predetermined data from the server while the vehicle is traveling along a travel route to a destination; acquire first and second sections among the travel route; control the communication device to receive the data while the vehicle is traveling in the first section; and control the communication device in such a way that an interruption process is completed before the vehicle travels in the second section. The first section is a section where the data is received. The second section is a section where the data is not received. The interruption process is a process of interrupting the reception of the data in a resumable state.
