International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707010000

Abstract:

PATENT In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes receiving an invitation to request segments from a first client in a grid network. The first client is coupled to the grid network through a firewall. The method also includes responding to the invitation to request segments with a request for segments. The method further includes receiving segments from the first client responsive to the request for segments. In another embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes receiving information about a first client from a server in a grid network at a second client. The second client is coupled to the grid network through a firewall. The method further includes sending an invitation to request segments to the first client. The method also includes receiving a request for segments from the first client.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707010000

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes first server nodes having authentication functions coupled to a network. The system also includes second server nodes having repositories of complete files also coupled to the network. The system further includes a set of client nodes having local repositories for files coupled to the network. The client nodes are configured to share segments of complete files on a peer-to-peer basis through the network. In another embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes requesting segments of a media file from a first client through a peer-to-peer connection. The method further includes providing a first authenticated job ticket in the requesting. The method also includes receiving the segments of the media file from the first client through a peer-to-peer connection so long as the first authenticated job ticket remains valid.

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
G07C 5/00
G07C 5/02

Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for facilitating simulation of an application used to access features of a vehicle. For example, an application developer may use an application development environment to develop an application that is used to display information through a vehicle display, obtain telemetry data from the vehicle, and/or modify vehicle features of the vehicle. However, the application development environment may not have real-time access to a vehicle (e.g., while the vehicle is being driven), which significantly reduces the ability to test the application. Accordingly, vehicle parameter signals may be simulated and provided to application code of the application (e.g., the application developer may specify a fan speed as “high”, preprogrammed vehicle speed data may be supplied to the application code, etc.). In this way, the application can be tested as though the application had access to an operational vehicle.

Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for developing and facilitating the development of a vehicle profile for a vehicle. An application developer may experience difficulty when developing applications that are to interact with a vehicle computing device of a vehicle due to proprietary software, communication protocols, data formats, etc. Accordingly, a vehicle profile may be developed to act as an intermediary abstraction layer between the application and the vehicle computing device. A profile developer can define how to process certain types of input from the application, what vehicle signal information can be accessed by the application, how information such as a user interface of the application is to be displayed such as through a vehicle navigation unit, what vehicle parameters can be modified by the application, etc. In this way, the application can interact with the vehicle computing device through the vehicle profile.

Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for facilitating communication between a program and a vehicle computing device of a vehicle. For example, a vehicle profile may be used as an intermediary abstraction layer between the program (e.g., hosted on a mobile device, hosted on a vehicle navigation unit, etc.) and the vehicle computing device. The vehicle profile may provide data formatting functionality to enable communication and interaction because the program and the vehicle computing device may utilize different data formats, communication protocols, and/or functions. The vehicle profile may specify what information the program is allowed to access and/or what features of the vehicle are allowed to be modified by the program. The vehicle profile may determine how information can be displayed by the program through a vehicle display. Communication may be facilitated between the program, the vehicle computing device, and/or a remote device such as a cloud service.
