Methods and systems for communicating between a vehicle and a remote application server

摘要

Methods and apparatus for use in communicating between a vehicle and a remote application server. An application message is received from a vehicle. A computer system determines whether an uplink connection can be established between the computer system and a remote application server that provides a remote software application associated with the application message. The application message is redirected to a local software application executed by the computer system when an uplink connection cannot be established. Data may be subsequently synchronized between the local software application and the remote software application.

1. A method for communicating between a vehicle and a remote application server, said method comprising:
receiving at a computer system an application message transmitted from a vehicle; determining by the computer system that the application message should not be forwarded to a remote application server that provides a remote software application associated with the application message, including determining that the computer system executes a local software application within a virtual machine that interacts with the vehicle in a same manner as the remote software application; and redirecting the application message to the local software application executed by the computer system based on the determination that the application message should not be forwarded, by translating a first network address associated with the remote application server in the application message to a second network address associated with the virtual machine executed by the computer system.
