Patent ID: 8731747

Claim:
A communication system for a vehicle comprising: one or more processors configured to receive data parameters associated with one or more conditions of the vehicle; the one or more processors configured to select a subset of the data parameters; and the one or more processors configured to communicate the data parameters in the subset to one or more applications of the vehicle that use the data parameters to perform one or more operations; wherein the one or more processors also are configured to dynamically modify which of the data parameters are included in the subset; wherein the one or more processors also are configured to apply one or more filters to determine which of the data parameters are included in the subset; wherein the filters include at least one of a category filter that includes the data parameters in the subset based on a type of the data parameters, a frequency filter that includes the data parameters in the subset based on frequencies at which the applications request the data parameters, a use filter that includes the data parameters in the subset based on how the data parameters are used by the applications, or a priority filter that includes the data parameters in the subset based on priority values assigned to the data parameters.
