- receiving a signal at a vehicle communication system from a device;
automatically determining if the signal originates from inside the vehicle;
if the signal does not originate from inside the vehicle, rejecting the signal;
if the signal originates from inside the vehicle, communicatively connecting the vehicle communication system to the device;
receiving a request for an application;
determining one or more of available resources, available devices, and available sources;
determining load;
activating a function on the device or source to execute the application;
receiving, from the device, application user interface information or data at the vehicle to be displayed on a display associated with the vehicle; and
displaying the application on the display.

Abstract
Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to generate a vehicle communication system. The vehicle communication system can determine which devices are within the vehicle. From this determination, the vehicle communication system may create a universal bus and hotspot where applications, data, multimedia information, and resources can be shared both with the vehicle and with the other devices in the vehicle.
