Development of automotive multimedia system using centralized control proxy

Abstract

MOST, Media Oriented System Transport, a communication system with a new flexible architecture, used by many different manufacturers, was developed to meet custom's demands in car. However, for the cost and technical complexity of MOST system, there were limitations people who want to use as the means of in-vehicle networks. Especially, in automotive aftermarket, since MOST technology is confined to a few manufacturers, common automotive companies are hard to develop MOST devices to connect MOST ring networks system. In this paper, through the centralized control proxy method, that is remote control, it is enable to design multi-media system on relatively easy and low level skill. For the cost and energy efficient, proposed system architecture and software contents are useful to develop automotive media system. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
