Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices, methods and systems for implementing a vehicle-based simulator and an application store employing said vehicle-based simulator. Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer of the various concepts may ensure a higher quality of vehicle installed applications.

Claims

1. A system for simulating an application for vehicle usage, comprising:

a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the providing;

a processor that executes the program of instructions, the instruction comprising the following steps;

receiving an application from a source;

receiving parameters for simulating said application, said parameters being defined as vehicle-based rules;

simulating the application based on the received parameters, and

generating a report based on the simulation.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the parameters are defined as rules associated with safety for a specific vehicle.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the parameters are defined by rules associated with safety for a subset of vehicles.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the application is simulated to determine whether the application overrides a safety-based audio/visual cue associated with a vehicle-based ADAS component.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the report indicates that the simulation failed partially.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the report is a certification, and is employed to allow uploading to a vehicle-based application store.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein the certification is employed to determine whether the application associated with said certification is downloadable to a specific vehicle.

8. The system according to claim 6, wherein the certification is employed to determine whether the application associated with said certification is downloadable to a specific class of vehicles.

9. The system according to claim 1, wherein the simulation is configured to determine whether the application is compliant with a specific vehicle-based component.

10. A system for implementing a vehicle-based application store, comprising:

a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the providing;

a processor that executes the program of instructions, the instruction comprising the following steps;

storing a plurality of applications for download via a vehicle-based computing system; and

associating each of the plurality of applications with a unique certification associated with the respective one of the plurality of applications

11. The system according to claim 10, wherein the certification defines a specific vehicle, in which the certification indicates whether the associated one of the plurality of applications is compliant with the specific vehicle.

12. The system according to claim 10, wherein the certification defines a specific group of vehicles, in which the certification indicates whether the associated one of the plurality of applications is compliant with the specific group of vehicles.

13. The system according to claim 10, wherein the certification defines a vehicle-based component, in which the certification indicates whether the associated one of the plurality of applications is compliant with the vehicle-based component.
