Methods and Apparatus for Remote Activation of an Application
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a memory storing one or more applications having one or more triggering conditions associated therewith; and
a processor configured to;
detect environmental conditions corresponding to a plurality of possible triggering conditions associable with applications; and
upon detection of a triggering condition associated with at least one application, instruct launch of the application based on the correspondence between the detected and the associated triggering condition.

Abstract
An application activation method includes interfacing a vehicle computing system with a remote device using an interface protocol. The method also includes sending a query from the vehicle computing system to the remote device to determine applications and/or services available on the remote device that are capable of interaction with the vehicle computing system. Once the applications have been determined, the method includes selecting, at the vehicle computing system, an application or service from the determined available applications and/or services for interaction. The method also includes sending an instruction from the vehicle computing system to an agent on the remote device, the instruction including an indication that the selected application or service is to be activated. Finally, the method includes receiving confirmation, at the vehicle computing system, that the application or service has been activated.
