Abstract:
A method of concurrently communicating data from a vehicle data port to a plurality of computing devices includes a transceiver that handles a plurality of requests from a plurality of independent computing devices. The transceiver is connected to the vehicle data port either directly or indirectly through a pass-thru interface. The plurality of computing devices may each send separate (that is, independent and diverse) requests for data or communications to the vehicle through the transceiver. The transceiver maintains a queue of communications requests from each computing device and orders and sequences the vehicle communications so that timing requirements are properly met and collisions and other types of problems are avoided. The transceiver may also handle duplicative requests by sending only one request to the vehicle data port but providing responses to each requesting computing device.
