Abstract
A method and an apparatus for an application uniformly accessing a plurality of onboard devices of a vehicle are provided. The method includes registering the plurality of devices by assigning each device a device ID; when an application sends a message in a uniform format to at least one device of the plurality of devices, determining an address of each of the at least one device, determining a format of each of the at least one device based on the device ID, translating the message into the format of each of the at least one device, and sending the translated message to the corresponding device of the at least one device. The present disclosure provides a solution which enables applications to access all kinds of onboard devices uniformly, even these devices are made by different manufacturers and each has its specific device driver.
