METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING A MOBILE SERVER
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data from a client device to a computer module in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a software component from the client device via a standard port at the in-vehicle communications gateway module, wherein the software component comprises a non-standard transfer protocol module;
loading the non-standard transfer protocol module at the client device; and
exchanging data between the in-vehicle communications gateway module and the client device according to the non-standard transfer protocol.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting data between a client device and a vehicle. A server hosted at an in-vehicle communications gateway module sends a software component comprising a non-standard transfer protocol module to a browser application hosted at the client device in response to a request from the client device. Standard ports at the in-vehicle communications gateway module and the client device are closed, and data is exchanged between the server and the browser application according to the non-standard transfer protocol. Optionally, the received data can then be transmitted from the in-vehicle communications gateway module to a computer module in the vehicle.
