First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- providing, in a vehicle, first and second operating systems executing on a common microprocessor, wherein the first operating system comprises one or more applications performing a critical vehicle task, function, and/or operation and the second operating system comprises one or more applications performing an infotainment task, function, and/or operation;
collecting, by a computer control module, one or more metrics regarding an operation of the first and/or second operating system and/or computer and/or a network in communication with the computer;
determining, by the computer control module, whether the collected one or metrics are normal and/or abnormal; and
when the collected one or metrics is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second operating system but not the first operating system.

7. In a vehicle, first and second operating systems execute on a common microprocessor, the first operating system comprising one or more applications performing a critical vehicle task, function, and/or operation and the second operating system comprising one or more applications performing an infotainment task, function, and/or operation, a tangible and non-transient computer readable medium comprising microprocessor executable and readable instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, perform operations, comprising:
-
collecting, by a computer control module, one or more metrics regarding an operation of the first and/or second operating system and/or a network in communication with the computer; determining, by the computer control module, whether the collected one or metrics of one or more of the first and/or second operating system and/or a network in communication with the computer are normal and/or abnormal; and applying one or more of the following rules; when the collected one or metrics associated with the first operating system is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the first and second operating systems; when the collected one or metrics associated with the second operating system is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second, but not the first, operating system; and when the collected one or metrics associated with the network is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second, but not the first, operating system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a computer executing first and second operating systems executing on a common microprocessor, wherein the first operating system comprises one or more applications performing a critical vehicle task, function, and/or operation and the second operating system comprises one or more applications performing an infotainment task, function, and/or operation; and a computer control module operable to collect one or more metrics regarding an operation of the first and/or second operating system and/or computer and/or a network in communication with the computer, determine whether the collected one or metrics are normal and/or abnormal, and when the collected one or metrics is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second operating system but not the first operating system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a first computer having a first operating system executing one or more applications performing a critical vehicle task, function, and/or operation; and a second computer having a different second operating system executing one or more applications performing at least one of an infotainment task, function, and/or operation and less critical task, function, and/or operation, wherein at least one of the following is true; (a) a computer control module collects one or more metrics regarding an operation of the first and/or second computers and/or a network in communication with the first and/or second computer, determines whether the collected one or metrics regarding an operation of the first and/or second computers and/or network are normal and/or abnormal, and apply one or more of the following rules; when the collected one or metrics associated with the first operating system is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the first and second operating systems; when the collected one or metrics associated with the second operating system is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second, but not the first, operating system; and when the collected one or metrics associated with the network is not normal or abnormal, shutting down the second, but not the first, operating system; and (b) the first and second computers are configured to be incapable of communicating with each other. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
