Abstract: A method of collecting data in a vehicle includes receiving sensor data from at least one sensor. The method further includes determining whether one or more predetermined conditions are satisfied, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions relate to a rule for collecting sensor data. The method further includes storing the sensor data in a non-volatile memory (NVM) structure in response to a determination that at least one of the one or more predetermined conditions is satisfied. The method further includes storing the sensor data in a volatile memory (VM) structure in response to a determination that none of the one or more predetermined conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a sensor and a transmitter. The vehicle further includes a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon. The vehicle further includes a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for receiving or generating a data collection command, wherein the data collection command includes processing instructions for processing data collected from at least one of the sensor, an application log, or a system log, the processing information includes a number of processing operations to be performed, and a type of processing for each of the processing operations. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for collecting sensor information based on the data collection command.

Abstract: A method of collecting data in a vehicle includes receiving a set of rules; detecting a trigger event using a sensor connected to the vehicle; determining whether the detected trigger event is associated with a plurality of rules of the set of rules; and prioritizing each rule of the plurality of rules in response to a determination that the detected trigger event is associated with each of the plurality of rules. The method further includes determining whether resources within the vehicle are sufficient to implement a first data collection protocol for a highest priority rule; launching the highest priority rule in response to a determination that the resources within the vehicle are sufficient to implement the first data collection protocol; and preventing launch of the highest priority rule in response to a determination that the resources within the vehicle are insufficient to implement the first data collection protocol.

Abstract: A method of requesting data from a vehicle includes determining a capability of an in-vehicle system, wherein the capability includes at least one of processing capabilities, memory capabilities or sensor capabilities. The method further includes receiving a rule, wherein the rule comprises a data collection request. The method further includes determining whether the capability of the in-vehicle system is able to satisfy the data collection request. The method further includes discarding the rule in response to a determination that the capability of the in-vehicle system is not able to satisfy the data collection request.

Abstract: A method of in-vehicle data collection includes determining whether a first rule of a plurality of rules overlaps with any other of the plurality of rules. The method further includes identifying overlapping data collection data in response to determining that the first rule overlaps with at least one other rule of the plurality of rules. The method further includes collecting data associated with the first rule in response to detection of a trigger event. The method further includes storing a single copy of the overlapping data collection data regardless of a number of the plurality of rules that overlap with the first rule.

Abstract: A system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon; and a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for receiving information from a user interface (UI) for a data request; and assigning identification information to the data request. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for storing the data request in association with the identification information. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for transmitting the data request to a vehicle. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for receiving data from a source the vehicle in response to the transmitted data request; and notifying a user of the received data.
