Improving the flexibility of in-vehicle infotainment systems by the smart management of GUI-application binding related information

Abstract

This paper introduces an approach to build a new system application addressing the smart management of binding related information for in-vehicle infotainment systems. The system application is based on a client-server model using Web technologies and provides message oriented middleware to drive bidirectional GUI-Application communication. Additionally, it also allows GUI-Application binding at runtime and supports the same GUI to be bound with the applications located on different devices. The result shows that this approach improved the reusability and the adaptability of binding related information, and also increased the flexibility and the scalability of IVI systems. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
