[82] 706) Push server pushes information to designated vehicle device

[83] 707) In-vehicle device call to call the car to complete the command operation

[84] 708) After the vehicle device completes the command, it sends the device number and the command execution result to the application server.

[85] 709) The application server sends information to the push server

[86] 7010: ) Push server pushes information back to GALA cat

[87] 7011: ) GALA cat shows the result of the operation.

[88] The push implementation principle is as follows: 1) The GALA cat and the in-vehicle device embed the JAVA language bursting tool sdk, establish a tcp long connection with the push server, and periodically perform heartbeat detection. 2) When one party needs to push, send push information and physical address MAC, GALA account (GALAID) to the application server API, the application server calls the API interface of the push server, and sends a push request. 3) After receiving the request data, the push server pushes the information to the designated GALA user or the in-vehicle device bound to the mac.

[89] Car Navigation

[90] As shown in FIG. 8, the first user car navigation preference program applying the system includes the following steps:

[91] 801) User login GALA cat, one-click navigation

[92] 802) Speech recognition destination

[93] 803) Send the device number, GPS and coordinate information to the application server if the recognition is successful

[94] 804) After the recognition fails, go to the customer service to obtain the coordinates, and send the information to the application server. [95] 805) The application server calculates the navigation path based on the coordinate information. Generate a string.

[96] . ^ 806) The application server sends push information to the push server

[97] 807) Push server pushes information back to the vehicle

[98] 808) Vehicle group device calls Gaode map display navigation
