A system within an environment of a vehicle in which one or more electronic control unit(s) (ECU) having its own communications protocol stack (e.g., a TCP/IP stack) can communicate with an ECU gateway that functions as a component of an infotainment system. Each ECU can thereby publish its own data in real time, through an Internet (or similar) connection in the infotainment system, to a broker that can store the data from all connected ECUs of a plurality of vehicles. A backend system can subscribe to certain published data feeds (e.g., all ECU-2 and ECU-3 data from every 2010 model vehicle, or all ECU-2 data from every vehicle) via the broker to pull a specific subset of available data for analysis and/or visualization. The present invention enables users of a backend system to query for data from vehicles that are not connected to the Internet in real time. 本申请提供种处于车辆环境内的系统可与起到信息娱乐系统部件功能的ECU网关通信，在车辆中个或多个电子控制单元(ECU)具有其自身通信协议栈(例如TCP/IP栈)。各个ECU从而通过信息娱乐系统中的因特网(或者类似的网络)连接实时向代理器发布其自身数据，代理器可存储来自多个车辆中所有连接的ECUs的数据
