Problems solved by technology

While this may be an effective technique in removing the user from the equation, the total amount of data required when considering a manufacturer's fleet of millions of vehicles may make this a cost / time prohibitive solution
[0004] Software updates are also often too large to be fully delivered during a single key cycle or key off cycle

Abstract

The invention provides a method and apparatus for identifying and recommending vehicle locations to facilitate data transfer. A system includes a processor configured to determine that a high-speed data transfer is desired for a vehicle. The processor is also configured to identify parking, within a predefined distance from a destination location, which overlaps with identified areas of high-speedcoverage meeting a predefined speed and display visual indicators of the identified parking, when a vehicle is within a predefined distance from the identified parking.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to methods and apparatus for identifying and recommending vehicle locations to facilitate data transfer. Background technique [0002] As vehicles include more and more on-board hardware, firmware and software in various electronic control units (ECUs) and other on-board data repositories, there is an increasing need to keep all updatable parts of the complex system updated. Since a large number of updates can have a large number of interactions, many updates require further updates to multiple subsystems, which can vary from vehicle to vehicle. [0003] Requiring users to manually manage all the various updates could become cumbersome, but having users drive their vehicles to a dealership to receive updates could instead be a hassle for users, especially if the OEM expects multiple updates per month. In response, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have attempted to update vehicle data using wireless ...
