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

Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer-accessible storage media storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors of a host computing device for a vehicle cause the one or more processors to implement an agent to:
receive a first message from an application of the host computing device, wherein the first message is directed to a remote endpoint external to the vehicle, wherein the first message conforms to an intra-device communication protocol for communicating between the application and the agent, and wherein the agent is implemented within the host computing device;
convert the first message into a second message that conforms to an inter-device communication protocol for communicating between the host computing device and a gateway computing device for the vehicle, wherein the conversion is based on a mapping of the inter-device communication protocol to a type of physical communication channel used for communication between the host computing device and a gateway agent of the gateway computing device for the vehicle or between the host computing device and another computing device for the vehicle; and
send, via the physical communication channel, the second message to the gateway agent of the gateway computing device for the vehicle or to another agent of the other computing device for the vehicle, wherein the second message is available for further processing for transmission from the vehicle to the remote endpoint external to the vehicle.
