Methods and systems for processing local and cloud data in a vehicle and a cloud server for transmitting cloud data to vehicles
First Claim
1. A control system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle sensing module configured to provide local data;
a cloud interface unit configured to provide remote data received from a cloud server, the cloud server is remote from the vehicle and processes data received from sources other than the vehicle;
a processing unit configured to process the local data and the remote data and to generate at least one vehicle control command based thereon; and
a vehicle control unit configured to control at least one vehicle feature based on the at least one vehicle control command,wherein the remote data and the local data are associated with a processing priority level, wherein a first priority level is associated with the local data, and a second priority level is associated with the remote data, and the processing unit is configured to vary a frequency of processing of the remote data and the local data by decreasing the frequency of processing from the first priority level to the second priority level.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for receiving local data via a vehicle sensing module of a vehicle control system, receiving remote data via a cloud interface unit of the vehicle control system from a cloud server, and processing the local data and the remote data via a processing unit of the vehicle control system. Based on the processing of the local data and the remote data, at least one vehicle feature is controlled. The local data and the remote data are associated with processing priority levels. The processing unit varies a frequency of processing based on the processing priority levels. Further provided is a cloud server for transmitting remote data to a crowd of vehicles. The cloud server comprises a first module configured to allocate vehicles to a plurality of groups based at least on location data received from the vehicles. A second module of the cloud server is configured to determine different remote data for each group. A third module is configured to transmit the determined remote data to vehicles within each group.
