Abstract: A method for rendering vehicle information includes receiving from an application of a user device a request for information. The request identifies the application requesting vehicle information. A filter is applied to determine whether the requested information is allowable information. The allowable information includes information that the vehicle is authorized to output to the user device. A format-type of information is determined to be output to the user device. A quality level of information is determined to provide to the user device. The quality level of information determined as a function of variable parameters in response to the requested information being allowable information. The vehicle information is processed as a function of the quality level of information and the format-type of information. The processed vehicle information is output to the user device.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting mobile device connectivity with a vehicle. A mobile device is provided that includes at least one connectivity option for connecting to a communications channel of the vehicle. A flexible connectivity module that includes a controller is programmed to determine if there is at least one matching communication channel between the mobile device and the vehicle such that the mobile device and the vehicle may be in communication with each other. The controller selects the optimal connectivity option if there is more than one of the matching communication channels available and monitors the selected connectivity option and changes or modifies the selected connectivity option if a predetermined interference threshold is achieved.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking and predicting usage trends for in-vehicle infotainment system applications are disclosed. Application usage data are collected in the infotainment systems of many road vehicles. Vehicle context relevance indicators are also provided, using data from the vehicle CAN bus or other data bus. The context relevance indicators—which indicate vehicle contextual situations such as traffic and weather conditions, presence of back seat passengers, length of driving trip, etc.—are cross-referenced to the application usage data to determine which applications are likely to be used in which situations. Application usage data and application/context correlation data from many vehicles are collected on a central server and analyzed to provide various metrics which are indicative of application usage trends. The application usage trend data can be used by vehicle manufacturers to optimize future infotainment system designs.

Abstract: Vehicles, computer-implemented methods, systems and apparatus are disclosed for providing application generated information for presentation at an automotive head unit (AHU) of a vehicle. For example, a vehicle is provided that is configured to communicate with an application server. The application server hosts and executes an application to generate information. The application server provides a first part of a MirrorLink server since the application hosted at the application server is normally hosted at and designed to be executed by a consumer electronics device to generate the information, and the information is normally presented at the consumer electronics device. The vehicle includes a network access device (NAD) integrated within the vehicle and an AHU that communicatively coupled to the NAD. The AHU includes a human-machine-interface (HMI). The NAD includes a wireless communication interface that serves as a second part of the MirrorLink server. For example, the wireless communication interface can receive the information over a wireless communication link and provide the information to the HMI where the information can then be presented on the HMI.
