SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SHARING INFORMATION IN A DISTRIBUTED FRAMEWORK

摘要

A system, method and computer program product are provided for receiving information associated with a message, utilizing a first network protocol associated with a first network and causing a determination as to whether a storage resource is available. In use, in the event the storage resource is available, causing storage of the information utilizing the storage resource and sharing the information in less than one second, utilizing at least one message format corresponding to a second network protocol associated with a second network which is different from the first network protocol wherein the system, method and computer program product are associated with an automotive electronic control unit with at least one gateway function that remains in hardwired communication with the first network and the second network, the automotive electronic control unit having a plurality of interfaces.

1. A method for sharing information, the method comprising:
receiving information associated with a message, utilizing a first network protocol associated with a first network; causing a determination as to whether a storage resource is available; in the event the storage resource is not available, determining whether a timeout has been reached and causing a re-request in connection with the storage resource if the timeout has not been reached; in the event the timeout has been reached, causing an error notification to be sent; in the event the storage resource is available, causing storage of the information utilizing the storage resource; and causing the information to be shared by:
sharing the information in less than one second, utilizing at least one message format corresponding to a second network protocol associated with a second network which is different from the first network protocol; wherein the method is associated with an automotive electronic control unit with at least one gateway function that remains in hardwired communication with the first network and the second network, the automotive electronic control unit having a plurality of interfaces including:
a first interface for interfacing with the first network, the first interface including a first interface-related data link layer part for using first network-related data link layer header bits and a first interface-related network layer part for using first network-related network layer header bits, where the first network is at least one of a Controller Area Network, a Flexray network, or a Local Interconnect Network; anda second interface for interfacing with the second network, the second interface including a second interface-related data link layer part for using second network-related data link layer header bits and a second interface-related network layer part for using second network-related network layer header bits, where the second network is different from the first network and is at least one of the Controller Area Network, the Flexray network, or the Local Interconnect Network.
