Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A vehicular communication controller apparatus comprising:
a microcontroller (MCU), located within a vehicle, executing a run time environment configured to indicate a service is started and available or is stopped and not available;
a discovery service within the MCU configured to generate an offer service comprising a start offer service or a stop offer service based on an indication the service is started or stopped;
wherein the MCU binds the offer service to an automotive/embedded communication protocol that supports remote procedure calls, event notifications and underlying serialization/wire format, creating a service discovery message;
wherein the service discovery message is broadcast to one or more systems on chip (SoC) devices;
wherein the one or more SoC devices receive the service discovery message, deserialize a header of the service discovery message to generate a generic publish event; and
wherein the one or more SoC devices deserialize a payload of the service discovery message to retrieve the start offer service or the stop offer service, and update a service status in a corresponding local database and a corresponding cloud-based central discovery service database.
