Smartphone as a remote control proxy in automotive navigation system

Abstract

In this paper, we design and implement a novel system where a remote person can control the car navigation system on behalf of the driver. In the proposed system, we suggest to utilize the driver's smartphone for allowing sharing the Internet connection of the phone with the navigation system. The required smartphone application and the server are also designed and implemented. In addition, we propose a common framework for the remote control of any embedded devices.

Web-based Remote Control System for IPTV Service

“…In particular, the embedded system with limited resources may have insufficient processing performance. For embedded IT devices, our previous study [3,4,5] takes a car navigation system as a remote control example. In these work, user"s smartphone is used as a mobile gateway for those devices that have no mobile communication function.…”

“…The controller may access the web page by using a smartphone or PC to view the state information of the target device and control the device. In our previous study, we applied our remote control platform to a vehicle navigation system [3,4,5]. Users can easily perform remote control of a navigation system even if the screen information is shared in the form of text, because the information exchanged is usually simple, such as menu selection and destination search.…”

On-demand Connection Establishment Scheme to Increase the Capacity of BLE Networks

“…We designed and developed a platform that can easily connect legacy devices to the Internet via Bluetooth in our previous studies [15][16][17]. This allows legacy devices to be expanded to IoT devices at a low-cost without replacing existing devices.…”

Design and Realization of Personal IoT Architecture Based on Mobile Gateway

“…With our personal IoT platform, the navigation system is connected to the Internet and becomes an IoT field device. Figure 4 shows the remote control procedure of car navigation system based on our preliminary implementation [5]. It consists of a car navigation device, driver's smartphone, remote control server, and remote control client.…”
