Abstract: A vehicle system, for implementation at a subject vehicle, including a vehicle storage component having a device-discovery module that, when executed by a vehicle processing unit, determines, using vehicle communication hardware, presence of non-subject-vehicle devices. The storage component also includes a service-discovery module that, when executed, uses the communication hardware in determining needs of various devices including any of the non-subject-vehicle devices and any vehicle device. The storage component also includes a resource-discovery module that, when executed, determines what resources amongst the various devices available to serve the needs determined. The component also includes a grouping module that, when executed, establishes one or more groups amongst the various devices, yielding grouped devices of the various devices. The storage may also include a role-assignment module, a maintenance module, a soft-state-refresh module, and a broker module including an auction-and-bid protocol. The technology may include simply the storage device having any mentioned module, and processes performed.

Abstract: A system and a method for establishing short range wireless communication between two vehicle modules. The system determines the availability of a first vehicle module and a second vehicle module to establish a short range wireless communication connection. The determination may be based upon whether the first vehicle module is storing pairing data. The system validates the pairing data at the second vehicle module using a wired connection. If the pairing data is validated, the first and second vehicle modules may establish a wireless connection using at least a portion of the pairing data. When the wireless connection ends, the system may re-determine the availability and revalidate any pairing data via the wired connection before establishing a wireless connection.

Abstract: A method of controlling media content between a portable device and a head control unit. A first link is initiated for transmitting control signals between a control client and a control server. A second link is initiated for transmitting media content between a data server and a data client. The first link has a lower traffic volume capacity than the second link and a shorter latency for the control signals than for the media content signal over the second link. The control client generates control signals identifying a user's request and transmits the control signals to the control server using the first link. The control server provides instructions to the data server for executing the user request. The retrieved media data is transmitted from the data server to the data client using the second link. The media data is output to the user over the media output device.

Abstract: A vehicle system virtualizing add-on device hardware for a vehicle application. The system includes a computer-readable storage device comprising a client application, middleware components, kernel-space components, and a vehicle application. The client application communicates with an add-on-device server application for virtualizing the add-on-device hardware component at the vehicle. The middleware, in various embodiments, includes an emulated system-call application-program-interface module that receives add-on-device-hardware data from the client application, sends the data to the kernel-space components after processing, and receives the data having been processed at the kernel space. The middleware includes a frameworks-and-abstraction module that receives add-on-device-hardware data, having been processed at the kernel space and the emulated system-call-application-program-interface module and after processing sends the data for use at the vehicle application. In some implementations the middleware and kernel space includes universal-serial-bus components configured to emulate analogous components of the add-on device.
