Abstract

A system includes a processor configured to receive identification of a vehicle-computing process use to track. The processor is also configured to initiate tracking when the identified process is requested and record success data relating to successful uses of the identified process. Further, the processor is configured to record failure data relating to failures resulting from uses of the identified process and report recorded data to a remote server.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor configured to;

receive identification of a vehicle-computing process use to track;

initiate tracking when the identified process is requested;

record success data relating to successful uses of the identified process;

record failure data relating to failures resulting from uses of the identified process; and

report recorded data to a remote server.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded success data corresponds to data recorded for failures.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded failure data includes a vehicle computing system screen shot.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded failure data includes phone data.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded failure data includes time and date data.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded failure data includes a Bluetooth phone address.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded failure data includes Bluetooth trace data following a failure.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving identification of a vehicle-computing process use to track;

initiating tracking when the identified process is requested;

recording success data relating to successful uses of the identified process;

recording failure data relating to failures resulting from uses of the identified process; and

reporting recorded data to a remote server.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded success data corresponds to data recorded for failures.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded failure data includes a vehicle computing system screen shot.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded failure data includes phone data.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded failure data includes time and date data.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded failure data includes a Bluetooth phone address.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the recorded failure data includes Bluetooth trace data following a failure.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving identification of a vehicle-computing process use to track;

initiating tracking when the identified process is requested;

recording success data relating to successful uses of the identified process;

recording failure data relating to failures resulting from uses of the identified process; and

reporting recorded data to a remote server.

16. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein the recorded success data corresponds to data recorded for failures.

17. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein the recorded failure data includes phone data.

18. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein the recorded failure data includes time and date data.

19. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein the recorded failure data includes a Bluetooth phone address.

20. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein the recorded failure data includes Bluetooth trace data following a failure.
