Embodiment Construction

[0052]The method described hereinafter minimizes the amount of telephony infrastructure used to handle incoming calls to the central facility and selectively allows calls to the central facility. The method accomplishes this by using a feature code call between the vehicle and a central facility associated with the telematics subscription service. A feature code call usually includes a specific string of digits that can be identified by a wireless carrier system, land-based network, or other similar telephony infrastructure, and the specific string of digits carries a String to set the directive for communication to public destinations. The mechanism used to make feature code calls is usually a two or three digit code preceded by a "*", also called a "Vertical Service Code" or simply a "Star Code". Mechanisms other than "*" may also be used to implement signature calling, and in the following discussion the terms "signature calling", "vertical service code" and "star code" ma...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of communicating between a vehicle and a telematics subscription service. The method of communicating between a vehicle and a telematics subscription service includes initiating a call from a vehicle telematics unit to a telematics subscription service via a wireless carrier system; accessing a vertical service code telephone number that is associated with the telematics subscription service and stored at a vehicle carrying the vehicle telematics unit; establishing a call between the vehicle telematics unit and the telematics subscription service using the accessed vertical service code telephone number; and wirelessly transmitting vehicle-related data between the vehicle telematics unit and the telematics subscription service over the established call.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to wireless communication, and more particularly, to wireless communication between a vehicle and a telematics subscription service. Background technique [0002] Vehicles are often equipped with a vehicle telematics unit that enables wireless communication of voice and data between the vehicle and a central facility that can receive calls from the vehicle at one or more monitored phone numbers Communication, when the vehicle tries to communicate with the central facility, it dials a specific phone number, and then the wireless carrier system can connect the vehicle with the central facility. In addition to vehicle communications, the central facility can also be contacted from many other sources by dialing monitored phone numbers. As a result, it can be challenging for a central facility to identify and service calls from vehicles while ignoring and / or blocking calls from other sources. Contents of the invent...
