Abstract

A system includes a processor configured to receive vehicle GPS coordinates. The processor is also configured to compare the received GPS coordinates to known device coordinates. Further, the processor is configured to page a vehicle computing system, requesting connection, if the vehicle coordinates and the known device coordinates are within a predetermined proximity and connect to the vehicle upon receipt of a response message from the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to methods and apparatus for vehicle and mobile device coordination. Background technique [0002] Vehicles are often equipped with telematics systems that enable remote communication with cloud-based resources and other service providers. In some examples, these systems use the passenger's mobile device in order to communicate with the remote system. These devices may serve the additional purpose of identifying the device owner for the vehicle, which may be beneficial in providing customized connectivity services. Typically, these devices will communicate with the vehicle, not with each other. Typically, a vehicle may only be connected to a single device at a time to utilize the resources of that single device to provide connected services. [0003] When a vehicle pages a device, typically the device is aware of the proximity to the vehicle. This often happens after the vehicle has been powered on. To...
