DYNAMIC VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent, the external agent operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle, the method comprising:
- performing one of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file by the external agent;
creating a dummy file on a disk by the external agent, wherein the dummy file provides a signal to the datacenter that the vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file has changed;
polling the disk periodically by the datacenter to identify a presence of the dummy file;
responsive to identifying the presence of the dummy file, reading the configuration file into VHM memory by the datacenter.

Abstract
A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent is provided. The external agent is operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle. One of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file is performed to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file by the external agent. A dummy file is created on a disk by the external agent. The dummy file provides a signal to the datacenter that the vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file has changed. The disk is polled periodically by the datacenter to identify a presence of the dummy file. Responsive to identifying the presence of the dummy file, the configuration file is read into VHM memory by the datacenter.

6. A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent, the external agent operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
performing one of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file by the external agent to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file; setting a system variable to a predefined value by the external agent, wherein the predefined value of the system variable provides a signal to the datacenter that the vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file has changed; polling the system variable periodically by the datacenter to identify the predefined value; responsive to identifying the predefined value, reading the configuration file into VHM memory by the datacenter. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent, the external agent operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
performing one of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file by the external agent to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file; sending a user-defined signal from the external agent to the datacenter, wherein the user-defined signal includes at least one of a unique process name and identification; receiving the user-defined signal in the datacenter, wherein the datacenter identifies the user-defined signal based on the at least one unique process name and identification; and responsive to receiving the user-defined signal in the datacenter, reading the configuration file into VHM memory. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent, the external agent operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
performing one of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file by the external agent to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file, wherein a timestamp is recorded on the vehicle configuration file concurrent with the one of updating or modifying the vehicle configuration file; polling the timestamp periodically by the datacenter to identify a newer time associated with the timestamp; and responsive to identifying the newer time, reading the configuration file into VHM memory. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
