Abstract

Networked vehicle communications system with front end unit, terminal which can be operated by a user and associated application. A vehicle communications system having a databus and at least one front end unit which is connected thereto and has a user-interface framework unit, having at least one terminal which can be operated by the user and is connected to the databus, and having at least one functionality which is implemented in the system and can be executed with the participation of the front end unit and of the terminal. The implemented functionality is divided into a part which communicates with the user-interface framework unit and has user-interface ends and into a functional component part which communicates with the user-interface end part on the one hand and with an application framework unit on the other. The user-interface end part is located in one front end unit, while the functional component part is also located there or in another front end unit or in a multi-purpose platform unit which is also connected to the databus.
