System and Method for Optimizing Vehicle Settings

摘要

An optimization system for a vehicle includes a dongle and a wireless device. The vehicle includes a diagnostic port and an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the diagnostic port. The ECU includes a memory storing vehicle setting data. The dongle is configured to connect with the diagnostic port to enable the dongle to establish a wired communication link with the ECU. The wireless device includes a memory storing program instructions and a processor configured to execute the program instructions to establish a wireless communication link between the ECU and the wireless device via the connected dongle, to determine location data representative of a location of the vehicle, to determine environmental condition data at the location of the vehicle, to receive the vehicle setting data from the ECU, and to generate optimized vehicle setting data using at least the vehicle setting data and the environmental condition data.

主权项

1. A method of optimizing vehicle settings of a vehicle using an optimization system, the optimization system including a dongle and a wireless device, and the vehicle including a diagnostic port and an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the diagnostic port and including a memory storing vehicle setting data, the method comprising:
establishing a wired communication link between the ECU and the dongle by connecting the dongle to the diagnostic port; establishing a wireless communication link between the ECU and the wireless device via the connected dongle; determining location data representative of a location of the vehicle by determining location data representative of a location of the wireless device using the wireless device; determining environmental condition data at the location of the vehicle using the wireless device; sending the vehicle setting data from the ECU to the wireless device via the connected dongle; generating optimized vehicle setting data using at least the vehicle setting data and the environmental condition data; and sending the optimized vehicle setting data from the wireless device to the ECU via the connected dongle.
