MUSIC STREAMING
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 multimedia sources associated with the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
receiving input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input multimedia;
routing the input to an available resource, available device, and available source;
receiving a multimedia steam from an available resource, available device, and available source; and
presenting the multimedia stream on an output of the vehicle.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising caching the multimedia stream.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein two or more multimedia streams are received from two or more sources.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein all of the two or more multimedia streams are cached.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein determining multimedia sources associated with the available resources, available devices, and available sources comprises canvassing the available resources, available devices, and available sources for multimedia available at those available resources, available devices, and available sources.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
consolidating the multimedia; and
presenting the multimedia on a vehicle touch sensitive display.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream.
8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream, presenting the multimedia stream.
9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising if safety parameters are not met for presentation of the multimedia stream, recording the multimedia stream.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the multimedia stream is recorded in local storage.
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 multimedia sources associated with the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
receive input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input multimedia;
route the input to an available resource, available device, and available source;
receive a multimedia steam from an available resource, available device, and available source; and
present the multimedia stream on an output of the vehicle.
12 . The vehicle communication system of claim 11 , wherein two or more multimedia streams are received from two or more sources, and wherein all of the two or more multimedia streams are cached.
13 . The vehicle communication system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further operable to:
consolidate the multimedia; and
present the multimedia on a vehicle touch sensitive display.
14 . The vehicle communication system of claim 11 , the processor is further operable to:
determine if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream;
if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream, present the multimedia stream; and
if safety parameters are not met for presentation of the multimedia stream, record the multimedia stream.
15 . The vehicle communication system of claim 14 , wherein the multimedia stream is recorded in local storage in the vehicle or on another storage element not associated with the vehicle.
16 . A 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 multimedia sources associated with the available resources, available devices, and available sources;
instructions to receive input on a user interface of the vehicle, wherein the input multimedia;
instructions to route the input to an available resource, available device, and available source;
instructions to receive a multimedia steam from an available resource, available device, and available source; and
instructions to present the multimedia stream on an output of the vehicle.
17 . The 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 wireless LAN component;
two or more BLUETOOTH transceivers;
a communication system comprising:
two or more communication modules;
a signal processor.
18 . The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the communication system further comprises:
a signal data database; and
a translator.
19 . The computer readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising:
instructions to determine if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream;
if safety parameters are met for presentation of the multimedia stream, instructions to present the multimedia stream; and
if safety parameters are not met for presentation of the multimedia stream, instructions to record the multimedia stream.
20 . The computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the multimedia stream is recorded in local storage in the vehicle or on another storage element not associated with the vehicle.
