Patent number: 11373459Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: RUNWAY GROWTH CREDIT FUND INC.Inventor: Steven Timothy Ohmert

Patent number: 11294796Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: INRIX Inc.Inventor: Steven Timothy Ohmert

Patent number: 10409893Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: INRIX, Inc.Inventor: Steven Timothy Ohmert
