Embodiment Construction

[0037] In the following a communication system is described that enables a vehicle to connect to a wireless carrier system using two or more Access Point Names (APNs). Private APNs can be used for backend systems, while public APNs can be used for various setup entities or application service providers. Vehicle security can be improved by using a dedicated APN for backend systems. This is especially true when the vehicle is remotely controllable, ie when the vehicle is remotely unlocked or started by a backend system using a dedicated APN.

[0038] As discussed in detail below, sometimes an app service provider may deactivate a user account associated with a vehicle, which may deactivate a public APN, at least for a particular app service provider. The systems and methods discussed below describe how a private APN can be used to reactivate a public APN, thereby avoiding user frustration and improving the overall user experience.

Abstract

The present invention provides a communication system and a method of reactivating an access point name (APN) using such a communication system in order to re-establish a connection between an application service provider and a telematics unit in a vehicle. The steps of the method include: receiving content data at the vehicle via an ASP using a first access point name (APN); experiencing a loss of connectivity between the vehicle and the ASP, wherein the loss of connectivity includes deactivation of the ASP by the first APN; The vehicle transmits via the second APN a reactivation request associated with the first APN; and in response to the reactivation request, a notification is received at the vehicle that the first APN has been reactivated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to configuring a vehicle telematics unit to operate with a wireless carrier system, and more particularly, to configuring a vehicle to reactivate a previously used access point name (APN). Background technique [0002] The wireless carrier system is used by setting entities to provide content data (eg, including content data using the Internet, World Wide Web, electronic mail data, various multimedia data, and even telematics services) to mobile vehicles according to the mobile vehicle's subscription agreement. The vehicle can be identified (at least in part) by an access point name (APN); typically the telematics device has a single APN which is used to transfer content data to the vehicle. This APN can be associated with billing and usage data associated with the subscriber account. Sometimes the provisioning entity needs to stop providing content data to the vehicle, which puts the APN on hold, at least as far as the p...
