Vehicle communications system and method

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for vehicle data communications. The system includes a vehicle communication component configured to receive data, encode the data to be transmitted, and transmit the encoded data wirelessly. A data delivery unit is configured to receive the encoded data, decode the encoded data, and present data in at least one format. A wired communication link couples the vehicle communication component and the data delivery unit. The wired communication link is configured to relay decoding information from the vehicle communication component to the data delivery unit such that the data delivery unit may decode the encoded data.

1. A method of vehicle data communications, comprising:
receiving data at a vehicle communication component of a vehicle; encoding the data at the vehicle communication component to generate encoded data; identifying a first group of the encoded data with a first identifier; identifying a second group of the encoded data with a second identifier; transmitting a first group of the encoded data wirelessly from the vehicle communication component to a data delivery unit; transmitting a second group of the encoded data wirelessly from the vehicle communication component to at least one user device; sharing decoding information via a wired communication link between the vehicle communication component to the data delivery unit; and decoding the encoded data at the data delivery unit using the decoding information.
