Embodiment Construction

[0030] A downstream processor (DLP) is communicatively coupled to the active fixed device. For example, the DLP can communicate with the active fixture through pin pad connections. A DLP equipped with a radio receiver, for example, can communicate with an active stationary device equipped with a radio transmitter using a wireless transmission protocol such as 802.11. Any desired communicable link between the DLP and the active fixed device can be used, such as infrared.

[0031] A DLP microprocessor, such as firmware, receives the information that activates the fixed device to transmit. The information is stored in the microprocessor's on-chip memory. However, information can be stored in any desired manner.

[0032] This information determines which satellite radio channels are activated and which satellite radio channels are not activated. Until said DLP receives an inactivation signal via satellite broadcast, the active channel of the DLP remains active.

[0033] This ...

Abstract

An aspect of the invention provides a method for providing satellite radio service in a vehicle. A satellite radio may be activated before a customer purchases the vehicle. The satellite radio may remain active until it receives a deactivation signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of providing satellite radio broadcasting services in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Once a consumer purchases a vehicle with satellite radio, the consumer can activate the satellite radio by tuning the satellite radio to the active channel for a period of time. The satellite radio service provider broadcasts the satellite radio activation signal at predetermined time intervals. [0003] Once a consumer purchases a vehicle with satellite radio, the consumer can activate the satellite radio by notifying the radio service provider of the radio identification number when the satellite radio is turned on. The satellite radio service provider then broadcasts a satellite radio activation signal to it to activate the satellite radio. [0004] Due to the time required to activate the satellite radio module, the above method may cause inconvenience to consumers. Furthermore, it may be difficult for consumers to ful...
