System and method for wireless connected device prioritization in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for managing a plurality of electronic devices with a vehicle, comprising:
- establishing operable connections for computer communication between the plurality of electronic devices and the vehicle in a vehicle network, including each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices communicating one or more data types to the vehicle, wherein the one or more data types identifies data types that each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices is capable of transmitting to the vehicle via each of the operable connections between each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices, wherein the one or more data types are stored at a data storage device;
determining a current vehicle context of the vehicle based on information received from one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle;
assigning a priority to each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices based on the current vehicle context, the one or more data types of each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices, and a priority rules set stored at the data storage device; and
upon detecting a trigger event on the vehicle network, controlling data transmission of each of the operable connections between each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices and the vehicle based on the priority.

Abstract
A method and system for managing electronic devices in a vehicle including establishing operable connections for computer communication between electronic devices and the vehicle in a vehicle network and communicating device characteristics between each electronic device and the vehicle. The device characteristics are stored at a data storage device and the device characteristics include at least one or more data types capable of transmission between each electronic device and the vehicle. Assigning a priority to each electronic device based on the device characteristics and a priority rules set stored at the data storage device and controlling data transmission between each electronic device and the vehicle based on the priority.
