Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining, by an apparatus, that a uploading time of a maintenance operation of an embedded system in a vehicle is longer than an estimated operating time of the embedded system, wherein the estimated operating time is determined based, at least in part, on user route information that is entered via the embedded system or predicted for the embedded system; determining, by the apparatus, one or more subsequent estimated operating times of the embedded system available after the estimated operating time; configuring, by the apparatus, data packages for performing the maintenance operation with sizes to be uploaded during the estimated operating time and then during the one or more subsequent estimated operating times of the embedded system; calculating, by the apparatus, a maximum package size and a number of the data packages based on the estimated operating time, the one or more subsequent estimated operating times, and one or more memory areas available for the embedded system; and initiating, by the apparatus, a transmission of the data packages to the embedded system to initiate the maintenance operation during the estimated operating time and then during one or more subsequent estimated operating times, wherein the maintenance operation of the embedded system is completed within the estimated operating time and the one or more subsequent estimated operating times.
