The full form of the CAN is a controller area network. But the BMW series-8 was the first vehicle to feature a CAN protocol based multiplex wiring system. The first CAN protocol was produced by Philips and Intel and released on the market in the year 1987. This protocol was released in the year 1986 at the SAE Congress (Society of Automobile Engineers) in Detroit, Michigan. The CAN bus was developed in the year 1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH. The programs or applications on the OS may need to communicate through streams and in object oriented programming, objects in any application need to communicate through methods. An OS may interface with different parts of the hardware.
A software interface can be available in a wide range at different levels. This CAN interface can be defined by the logic signals. Hardware interfaces are used in many of the devices like input, output devices, buses and storage devices. Interfaces are mainly in two types such as hardware interfacing and software interfacing. Some hardware devices of a computer like a touchscreen because a touch screen can share and receive information through the interface, whereas other devices like a microphone, mouse are only one way. The conversation can be done between computer hardware, software, humans, peripheral devices and combinations of these. In computing, CAN interface may be a shared boundary across the two separate parts of a system conversation information.
