52 FOREWORD
53 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
54 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
55 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
56 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
57 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
58 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
59 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
60 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
61 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
62 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
63 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
64 interested IEC National Committees.
65 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
66 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
67 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
68 misinterpretation by any end user.
69 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
70 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
71 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
72 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
73 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
74 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
75 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

109 INTRODUCTION
110 It is noted that the markets and industries on infotainment services for vehicles (as known as
111 in-vehicle infotainment services) have been growing rapidly. It is envisioned that a variety of
112 infotainment (or multimedia) devices and services will be newly developed for personal and
113 public vehicles in the future. Such devices include navigations, cameras, speakers, headrest
114 displays, air-conditioners, thermometers and heated seats, and lights.
115 The IEC TC100 have so far developed a set of standards on Configurable Car infotainment
116 Services (CCIS) with the IEC 63246 series. However, the CCIS standards have been basically
117 designed for personal users, such as car owner. In the meantime, there is also a crucial need
118 to provide a variety of infotainment services for public vehicles (PVIS) such as bus or train.
119 PVIS services have different requirements and features from CCIS services. For user type,
120 CCIS is targeted for one or two users (such as car owner), whereas PVIS is for a large number
121 of guests or passengers within the public vehicle. For device type, CCIS deals with the personal
122 devices (property or belonging) in the car, whereas PVIS will be targeted for a variety of public
123 devices that are contained in a public vehicle. Some PVIS services may be provisioned by
124 interworking with the external networks, as shown in the bus information service. For service
125 duration, CCIS usually provide long-term services, whereas PVIS may provide short-term
126 service during which a guest stays within a public vehicle.
127 From these observations, it is noted that there are many different features and requirements
128 between CCIS and PVIS. Accordingly, there is a need of standardization on PVIS. In particular,
129 PVIS needs to employ a set of agents to effectively manage a large number of users or devices.
130 The PVIS series (IEC 63479) describe infotainment (multimedia) services for terrestrial public
131 vehicles, such as bus, train, or subway. It is not applicable to public vehicles, such as airplane
132 or ship. For this purpose, the following issues are addressed: 1) identify a variety of functional
133 requirements for provisioning of PVIS, 2) design the PVIS framework, based on the identified
134 requirements. The PVIS standard are expected to provide guidelines on PVIS services for a
135 large number of users/devices, and to encourage development of new (enhanced) PVIS
136 services (possibly by interworking with the external systems).
137 The IEC 63479 consists of the following parts:
138 – Part 1: general,
139 – Part 2: requirements, and
140 – Part 3: framework.
142 Part 1 of IEC 63479 (Technical Report) describes general considerations and system model for
143 PVIS, with some examples of PVIS services.
144 Part 2 of IEC 63479 (International Standard) describes the functional requirements for PVIS.
145 Part 3 of IEC 63479 (International Standard) describes the framework, including the functional
146 information flows between functional entities.

167 No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
168 4 Overview
169 PVIS consists of a diverse ecosystem of entities, each contributing to the system's operation
170 and functionality. These entities can be categorized into two main groups:
171 • PVIS support entities: these entities are responsible for supporting the core functions
172 required by the PVIS. They include the PVIS master, PVIS agent, and PVIS devices. The
173 PVIS master serves as the central command, controlling and coordinating activities within
174 the system. The PVIS agent facilitates the connection between the master and the devices,
175 while the PVIS devices deliver the actual infotainment content to the passengers.
176 • PVIS user entities: these entities engage with the PVIS system on a more transient basis.
177 They include passenger devices, content providers, and external applications. Passenger
178 devices enable users to interact with the system, content providers supply the infotainment
179 materials, and external applications offer additional functionalities to enhance the overall
180 user experience.
181 The PVIS framework defines the functions that the PVIS master, agent, and devices need to
182 support in order to manage infotainment services effectively and deliver them to passengers
183 seamlessly.
184 Figure 1 illustrates how each entity has a specific set of PVIS functions to ensure the smooth
185 operation of PVIS. It is noted in the figure that the PVIS master should be able to perform the
186 functions of the PVIS agent, and the PVIS agent includes the functions of the PVIS device.

189 Figure 1 – PVIS entities and functions
190 Figure 2 presents a reference architecture of PVIS system, which includes the six core functions
191 and the three interworking functions. The core functions are specifically designed to meet the
192 functional requirements of each entity, while the interworking functions enable smooth
193 interaction between these entities. The details of these functions are described in the
194 subsequent clauses.
196 Figure 2 – Overview of reference function model
198 5 Reference model for core functions
199 5.1 General
200 The PVIS reference model for core functions comprises several functional modules that
201 facilitate efficient management and utilization of infotainment services. As illustrated in Figure
202 3, PVIS encompasses the following modules: authentication management, profile management,
203 device management, content management, connectivity management, and history management.

100/4262/CDV – 8 – IEC CDV 63479-3 © IEC 2024
205 Figure 3 – PVIS reference model for core functions
206 5.2 Authentication management function
207 The authentication management function within PVIS is responsible for delivering customized
208 services to authenticated users by leveraging their registered information. This function consists
209 of two crucial subfunctions: certification and permission.
210 The certification subfunction ensures the identification of each entity within the system and
211 generates access tokens that grant specific privileges for a limited duration. These access
212 tokens must be included in all exchanged messages by the entity, enabling secure and
213 authorized communication.
214 The permission subfunction is responsible for validating exchanged messages and governing
215 the permissions associated with devices and content. Different entities within the PVIS service
216 may have varying levels of permission to operate devices and access content. The validation
217 process relies on the access tokens issued by the certification module, ensuring that only
218 authorized entities can perform permitted actions.
219 5.3 Connectivity management function
220 In PVIS, the connectivity information associated with the various PVIS entities plays a crucial
221 role in delivering efficient and secure services. This connectivity information is represented by
222 connection and session data.
223 Within a PVIS system, all functional entities, except for PVIS master, are required to register
224 either with the PVIS master or the PVIS agent. During this registration process, a session token
225 is assigned to each entity. This session token is then included in all subsequent communications,
226 enabling the PVIS to maintain session context and track entity activities. For instance, a session
227 for a PVIS device includes details about the device's current state and occupant. Similarly, a
228 session related to a passenger's device encapsulates information such as the specific PVIS
229 device being used and the content currently being accessed. This session information forms
230 the foundation for maintaining effective and personalized interactions within the PVIS.
231 Furthermore, it facilitates the verification of entity permissions, ensuring secure and authorized
232 interactions within the system.

IEC CD 63479-3 © IEC 2024              – 9 –                    100/4262/CDV

233 A connection is established between two entities to facilitate the exchange of messages.
234 5.4 History management function
235 The history management function is an essential component of the PVIS framework,
236 responsible for recording, maintaining, and utilizing historical data related to the usage of
237 infotainment services. It plays a critical role in improving service quality, enabling personalized
238 experiences, and supporting decision-making processes.
239 The module for service usage analytics focuses on acquiring and managing key usage
240 information, such as the most frequently accessed types of services by users. This data serves
241 as a foundation for enhancing user convenience and enables functions like content
242 recommendation and service personalization. Additionally, this information can be shared with
243 content providers to improve their services.
244 Furthermore, the history management function oversees the management of system historical
245 log information. Log information is vital in diagnosing and resolving system errors within the
246 PVIS. By providing a comprehensive record of system activities and events, it facilitates timely
247 identification, analysis, and resolution of any issues, contributing to the stability and reliability
248 of the system.
249 5.5 Profile management function
250 Profile management function serves as a repository for storing and organizing pertinent details
251 associated with devices, agents, and content. These profiles encompass a range of information,
252 including device specifications, connectivity attributes, access permissions, preferences, and
253 historical usage data. By collecting and managing such information, PVIS can effectively adapt
254 its services to meet the specific needs and preferences of individual entities.
255 5.6 Device management function
256 In PVIS, device management involves registering devices with a PVIS master or PVIS agent.
257 The device management function comprises three subfunctions: provisioning, monitoring, and
258 control.
259 • Provisioning: the provisioning subfunction handles the configuration process when
260 registering a PVIS device. This includes assigning a unique identifier to the device, setting
261 up its network connections, and installing any necessary software. It also covers updating
262 or decommissioning devices as required.
263 • Monitoring: PVIS entities registered in the system should always have their latest status
264 accessible. This is achieved through the following operating procedures:
265 – Periodic status reporting: PVIS devices periodically send their status to the relevant
266 PVIS agent or PVIS master. This ensures continuous and controllable connection
267 between the entities through message exchange. By consistently reporting status, the
268 PVIS system maintains an up-to-date understanding of the device's status and its
269 surrounding environment, allowing for identification and pre-emption of potential issues.
270 – Status reporting on status change: when a status change is detected, the PVIS system
271 quickly prepares for unexpected situations.
272 – Querying status: The PVIS master or PVIS agent managing a PVIS device can request
273 the device's status at any time by sending a status report request. This is useful when a
274 passenger device requests the list of available devices or when an expected status
275 report is not received within a specific time threshold.
276 • Control: the device management function provides a list of available PVIS devices and
277 supports control operations for those devices. Passengers need to obtain an access token
278 through the certification procedure to access this list. The request message should include
279 the access token and session information of the passenger device.

100/4262/CDV – 10 – IEC CDV 63479-3 © IEC 2024
280 The PVIS master or PVIS agent verifies the validity of each request message before processing
281 it. If the message is valid, the passenger is allowed to control the PVIS device. When the
282 passenger stops using the service, the PVIS master or PVIS agent initializes the device and
283 makes it available for other passengers.
284 5.7 Content management function
285 The content management function enables passengers to seamlessly access and engage with
286 a range of content provided by different content providers, enhancing their travel experience.
287 This function comprises three critical subfunctions: deployment, maintenance, and delivery.
288 • Deployment: the deployment subfunction handles the process of dispatching associated
289 metadata and managing it through the profile management function when new content
290 becomes available from pre-registered content providers. Additionally, this subfunction
291 manages content images to ensure optimal services to passengers, considering available
292 resources and distinct characteristics such as image type and size.
293 • Maintenance: deployed content may become unsupported or have varying versions over
294 time. To maintain high-quality services, the content metadata
