In-cloud connection for car multimedia
View Patent ↗Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to generate a vehicle communication system. The vehicle communication system can determine which devices are within the vehicle. From this determination, the vehicle communication system may create a universal bus and hotspot where applications, data, multimedia information, and resources can be shared both with the vehicle and with the other devices in the vehicle.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a signal at a vehicle communication system from a device;
automatically determining if the signal originates from inside the vehicle;
if the signal does not originate from inside the vehicle, rejecting the signal;
if the signal originates from inside the vehicle, communicatively connecting the vehicle communication system to the device;
determining one or more of available resources, available devices, and available sources;
determining cloud services connected to the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
receiving input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input requests a cloud service;
routing the input to a device;
receiving, from the device, data from the cloud service; and
providing the data on a display of the vehicle.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle communication system sends signal data to a processor to determine the available resources, available devices, and available sources and the cloud services.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the vehicle communication system determines which cloud sources are available through the device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the processor determines which cloud sources are available through a server.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising presenting the cloud services information on a touch sensitive display.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the device is a computing system.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the cloud service is for the provision of data or for the execution of an application.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is received on the touch sensitive display.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is analyzed to determine a correct source for the cloud service.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein, based on the analysis, the vehicle communication system routes the input to the correct device.
11. A vehicle communication system, comprising:
two or more BLUETOOTH transceivers;
a communication system comprising:
two or more communication modules;
a signal processor;
wherein the signal processor is operable to:
determine one or more of available resources, available devices, and available sources;
determine cloud services connected to the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
receive input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input requests a cloud service;
route the input to a device;
receive, from the device, data from the cloud service; and
provide the data on a display of the vehicle.
12. The vehicle communication system of claim 11 , wherein the signal processor determines which cloud sources are available through the device, and wherein a processor determines which cloud sources are available through a server.
13. The vehicle communication system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further operable to present the cloud services information on a touch sensitive display.
14. The vehicle communication system of claim 13 , wherein the input is received on the touch sensitive display, wherein the input is analyzed to determine a correct source for the cloud service, and wherein, based on the analysis, the signal processor routes the input to the correct device.
15. The vehicle communication system of claim 11 , wherein the cloud service is for the provision of data or for the execution of an application.
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing a processor to execute a method for providing a universal bus, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
instructions to determine one or more of available resources, available devices, and available sources;
instructions to determine cloud services connected to the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
instructions to receive input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input requests a cloud service;
instructions to route the input to a device;
instructions to receive, from the device, data from the cloud service; and
instructions to provide the data on a display of the vehicle.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the vehicle communication system includes:
at least one wireless LAN component, and wherein at least one device connects through the at least one wireless LAN component;
two or more BLUETOOTH transceivers;
a communication system comprising:
two or more communication modules; and
a signal processor.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the communication system further comprises:
a signal data database; and
a translator.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the signal processor determines which cloud sources are available through the device, and wherein a processor determines which cloud sources are available through a server.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the cloud service is for the provision of data or for the execution of an application.
