[0002] With the development of vehicle intelligence, the demand for in-vehicle application software is increasing day by day. Currently, the installation of in-vehicle application software is usually carried out through an application store, and all vehicles can select and install various software in the application store. However, in certain specific situations, it is necessary to install certain in-vehicle application software for specific target vehicles, while not wanting non-target vehicles to be affected. The traditional application store installation method cannot meet this targeted requirement, which may result in unnecessary software being installed on non-target vehicles, occupying software resources and possibly bringing security risks. In addition, for fleet managers, it is difficult to uniformly manage applications for multiple vehicles. Summary of the Invention

The cloud application push module provides an application management background for uploading specified in-vehicle application software packages, inputting software description texts, generating push messages for installing in-vehicle application software; and notifying the message content to the push strategy management module.

[0006] S3. The push strategy management module is used to configure the push strategy for push messages for installing in-vehicle application software, including selecting target vehicles, setting the effective time for message push, and configuring vehicle status strategies. After configuration, the push strategy module sends the push message of the in-vehicle application software to the target vehicle.

[0007] S4. Set the effective time for message push, including the start time and the end time. Within the effective time, the target vehicle will receive the push message for installing in-vehicle application software, and outside the effective time, the target vehicle will not receive the push message for installing in-vehicle application software.

[0008] S5. Configure the vehicle status policy for configuring the vehicle status requirements for the target vehicle to receive the on-vehicle application installation push message, including that the vehicle is in a stationary state.

[0009] S6. The on-vehicle internet gateway module is used to receive the on-vehicle application installation push message and the message policy, including downloading the on-vehicle application software package and recording the message policy. At the same time, notify the on-vehicle intelligent terminal module of the on-vehicle application software installation push message and the message policy.

[0010] S7.
