Method and system for operating mobile applications in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a vehicle-installed computer including a human machine interface (HMI) and HMI gateway application;
a remote application server, storing application profiles for each of a plurality of vehicles defining applications accessible to each of a plurality of vehicles, in communication with the vehicle-installed computer, and configured to execute the applications;
an HMI application executing on the computer, wherein the vehicle installed computer is configured to;
receive, at the HMI gateway application, input requests from the mobile applications executing remotely;
receive input to the HMI; and
transfer the input to the HMI gateway application; and
via the HMI gateway application, enable operation of the mobile applications based on the received input.

Abstract
In various embodiments, a user interacts with remotely executing mobile applications from a vehicle. The vehicle may include at least one computer that includes a human machine interface (HMI) for control by the user. The mobile applications may be executing on an application server that is remote from the vehicle and communicating with the at least one computer. Further, the mobile applications may be configured to receive inputs from and transmit outputs to the at least one computer. An HMI application executing on the at least one computer may enable the provisioning of one or more services of the HMI to the mobile applications so that inputs and/or outputs to the mobile applications may be exchanged. Vehicle-based operation of the mobile applications from the at least one computer via the HMI may thus be enabled.
