Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A system, comprising:
a host computing device for a vehicle, wherein the host computing device stores program instructions for implementing:
a local agent wherein the local agent of the host computing device is configured 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 within the host computing device, and wherein the first message indicates a destination internet protocol address of the remote endpoint external to the vehicle;
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 the gateway computing device for the vehicle, and
wherein to convert the first message, the local agent is configured to encapsulate one or more portions of the first message within an envelope that conforms with the inter-device communication protocol; and
send the second message to a gateway agent of the gateway computing device; and

the gateway computing device for the vehicle, wherein the gateway computing device stores program instructions for implementing:
a gateway agent, wherein the gateway agent is configured to:
receive the second message from the local agent;
convert the second message into a converted message format for routing to the endpoint external to the vehicle; and
cause the converted message to be available for further processing for transmission from the vehicle to the destination internet protocol address of the remote endpoint external to the vehicle.
