Abstract: A portable communication device, for implementation with a host vehicle of transportation having an on-board diagnostics port and a limited-access head-unit display. The device includes an on-board diagnostics connector sized and shaped to connect to the on-board diagnostics port of the host vehicle, a hardware-based processing unit in communication with the on-board diagnostics; and a non-transitory storage device in communication with the processing unit, the storage device. The storage includes a media-options presentation module that, when executed by the processing unit: sends, by way of the on-board diagnostics connector and port, media-options data to the host vehicle for presenting user media options by way of the limited-access head-unit display; and receives user-selection data responding to the user media options. The storage also includes a media streaming module that, when executed obtains streaming media based on the user-selection data, and sends the streaming media to the host vehicle for presentation.

Abstract: A portable system, for use in projecting proprietary host-data-based output utilizing a dual-layer proprietary-data arrangement including the portable system, a remote proprietary-data server, and a host device. The system having a first-layer arrangement component communicating with the server by way of a long-range channel, and a second-layer arrangement component communicating with the host device by wired or a short-range communication. The system also includes a portable-system application that generates, based on proprietary host data, proprietary-host-data-based app output. The first-layer includes a remote-server-communications client sub-module that receives the proprietary host data from the server. The application generates, based on the proprietary host data, proprietary host data-based app output data, for use in presentation via the host device. The second-layer includes a portable-system-projection server sub-module that receives the output data and sends it to the host device by way of the wired or the short-range channel for presentation at the host device.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for facilitating intra-vehicle wireless communication among a plurality of electronic control units. An example method includes determining, by a first electronic control unit in a vehicle, a wait-time for a message, which is to be transmitted to a second electronic control unit in the vehicle via a wireless channel. The first electronic control unit executes a first availability-check, by determining availability of the wireless channel. In response to the first availability-check indicating that the wireless communication channel is available, the method includes delaying transmission of the message by the wait-time. The method also includes executing, by the first electronic control unit, after passage of the wait-time, a second availability-check. In response to the second availability-check indicating that the wireless communication channel is still available, the method includes transmitting the message for receipt by the second electronic control unit.
