SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18516568 titled 'SERVER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a server that communicates with a vehicle to update software stored in the vehicle's storage unit. The server can wirelessly communicate with the vehicle and update the software when the vehicle's owner changes and a new lease contract for the battery is entered into.
- The server is configured to communicate wirelessly with the vehicle.
- The server can update the software stored in the vehicle's storage unit.
- The processing device in the server allows for software updates when the vehicle's owner changes and a new lease contract is entered into.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for updating software in vehicles remotely and efficiently.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of updating software in vehicles when ownership changes, ensuring that the software is up to date for the new owner.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include seamless software updates for vehicles, improved user experience, and increased efficiency in managing software updates remotely.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in fleet management systems, where software updates for multiple vehicles can be done remotely and efficiently.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that allow for remote software updates in electronic devices, such as smartphones or computers.
What is the cost of implementing this technology in vehicles?
The cost of implementing this technology in vehicles would depend on factors such as the complexity of the software updates, the number of vehicles to be updated, and the specific requirements of the communication and processing devices. Companies would need to invest in developing the server infrastructure and ensuring compatibility with different vehicle models.
How secure is the wireless communication between the server and the vehicle?
The security of the wireless communication between the server and the vehicle would be crucial to prevent unauthorized access or tampering with the software updates. Encryption protocols and authentication mechanisms would need to be implemented to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server is configured to communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes a battery and a storage unit for storing software. The server includes a communication device and a processing device. The communication device is configured to perform wireless communication with the vehicle. The processing device is configured to be capable of executing update processing for updating the software via the wireless communication. A first owner (user) as an owner of the vehicle has entered into a first lease contract for leasing the battery. When the owner has been changed from the first owner to a second owner and the second owner enters into a second lease contract for leasing the battery, the processing device permits the update processing.
