Description

UNITED AUTOMOBILE OPERATING SYSTEMFIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the application of operating system (OS) in automobile industry. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an automated generation of a customized and unified OS for automobiles based on hardware elements.BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.

[0003] For automotive development, operating systems have been developed for managing hardware resources and activities of a vehicle. The operating systems used in automobiles are generally some form of software that enables the critical features in a vehicle to run with minimal latency. Over time, there has been a significant increase in demand for enhanced safety features in vehicles, which have subsequently led to an increase in demand for automotive operating systems since they improve the advanced braking systems in vehicles and provide better coordination to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features. As an increasing number of a vehicle’s features become software controllers, a dependable operating system for automobiles have become essential. In addition to safety features, the OS used in automobiles serve as a foundation for providing wide ranging and seamless infotainment experiences.

[0004] However, creating an OS for automobiles has become increasingly difficult due to the rising complexity of automobile systems. Previously, designing a vehicle’s software was easier as a dedicated connection was frequently used to connect the components or peripherals of the vehicle to the software, which was often performed over a single processing device. However, due to the rise in the number of features and peripherals in vehicles, the generationof an OS for processing inputs from such a vast number of input sources becomes complex. Further, the need of integration of the hardware features and peripherals of vehicles to the OS leads to a need for an enhanced and efficient OS, wherein the operations to be performed by the OS would be dependent on the peripherals and devices used in the vehicle.

[0005] Different system on module (SoM) and internet of things (loT) making companies select their own specific processor and its specific peripheral like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB etc. Hence in scenarios where automobiles use such SoM or loT devices, the companies that create such devices are required to provide a customized OS for the execution of such programs. In a scenario where an automobile company wants an SoM or loT based device comprising a processor and a plurality of peripherals, all developed by different organizations, the automobile company would not have access to a ready-made OS for implementing such an SoM or loT device. In such cases, the automobile company is forced to gather all relevant software corresponding to each component, and has to integrate and customize the software depending on the custom SoM or loT device.

[0006] Existing technology relating to creation of a customized and unified OS for automobiles having a plurality of different peripherals and processors having specific associated software or OS generally requires manual intervention. In such technologies, the customized and unified OS is generated by manually selecting the different software programs for each of the peripherals or processors, and combining the software programs to form a single combined software, and developing the combined software to create a customized OS. However, development of such a customized and unified OS for automobiles for each different configuration of hardware features, peripherals and processors used in the SoM or loT devices is a time-consuming activity.

[0007] Therefore, there exists a need in the art for providing an intelligent method for developing a customized and unified OS for automobiles. There is a further need in the art for reducing the time consumed during generation of customized and unified OS using manual intervention.OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0008] An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a method and a system for generating a customized and unified OS for automobiles.

[0009] Another objective of the present disclosure is to eliminate dependency on manual intervention by avoiding manual selection of software programs.

[0010] Yet another objective of the present disclosure is to reduce time consumed for configuring and coordinating different hardware sets that communicate to each other via abstraction layer.

[0011] Still another objective of the present disclosure is to develop the customized and unified OS that are capable of providing requisite functionality outputs while maintaining minimum latency.
