Embodiment Construction

[0024] The invention is described herein in the context of certain exemplary illustrative embodiments. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that modifications, extensions and changes may be made to the disclosed exemplary illustrative embodiments without departing from the true scope and spirit of the present invention. In short, the following description is provided by way of example only, and the invention is not limited to the specific illustrative embodiments disclosed herein.

[0025] According to one illustrative embodiment, a vehicle-based computing system is capable of interfacing with a number of different Bluetooth devices in a vendor-intelligible manner. The vehicle-based computing system performs the provisioning, and the user may only need to provide the wireless device with a data plan and Bluetooth or other wireless communication capabilities. This provides the user with a convenient and simple connection experience.

Abstract

A vehicle communication system includes a processor that may query a wireless device to determine, among other things, a carrier identity. The carrier identity is the identity of the service provider for the wireless device. If the carrier identity is known, the processor may use a lookup table to determine an access phone number (APN) and a user name and password for provisioning a wireless internet connection through the wireless device. If the carrier identity is unknown, or if more than one APN and / or user name / password combination are associated with a given carrier, the processor is operable to perform a guess and check process to determine the appropriate provisioning information.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for provisioning a wireless connection between a wireless device and a vehicle-based computing system. Background technique [0002] Many cellular phones, personal digital assistants, and other wireless devices are Internet-connectable. Typically, these devices are available with a dial-up connection with a slower connection speed, or with a data plan and a broadband connection with a higher connection speed. [0003] Additionally, many of these wireless devices are Bluetooth enabled or have some other type of wireless networking capability. Bluetooth provides a connection through which a second device, such as a laptop computer, can be used to connect to a wireless device and through it to the Internet. [0004] However, merely establishing communication between the laptop computer and the wireless device may not be sufficient to create an Internet connection. It may be the case t...
