In-Vehicle Infotainment Management System in Internet-of-Things Networks.

Recently automobiles have become a part of living space, and researches on in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) for automobiles have been actively made. Even though many automobile manufacturers and software companies have launched the IVI Platform business, there is a lack of research on how to control IVI devices. In addition, there is a problem that many communication methods of IVI device cannot be handled by the IVI master device alone. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose an IVI management system based on the lightweight machine-to-machine (LWM2M) technology so that it can be used in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. We implemented the proposed system over a simple testbed and verified the proposed efficient management method.
