AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the services and functionality of the telematics unit are specifically limited by the technology and functionality at the time of design
Aside from software updates and limited hardware adjustments to address functionality, traditional telematics units are not upgradeable relative to network access devices that enable wireless assisted services
As a result, telematics units become obsolete and incompatible with emerging wireless and cellular technologies

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The systems and methods described below relate to a configurable communications module (CCM) having a host communications board with replaceable network access devices. In one embodiment, the host communication board and the initial network access device are connected by a printed circuit board (PCB) interface with predetermined or intentionally broken lines. The interface is configured to break at a break line enabling removal from the initial network access device. The portion of the interface that remains on the host is used as a male connector for an alternative network access device with a mating female connector.

[0034] In another embodiment, instead of disconnecting the original network access device, another slot is added to the CCM so that a replacement network access device can be inserted. At the end of the slot is a plate with electrical traces configured to receive the same type of connector used for a personal computer (ie, similar to the female connect...

A system for providing telematics is provided that includes a communications unit having host circuitry coupled by an interface to at least one removable communications card, the interface includes a break line that enables disconnection of the at least one removable communications card from the host circuitry.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 219,331 filed September 16, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to vehicular communications, and more particularly, to enhancing vehicular communications functionality by providing a configurable communications module with replaceable network access devices. Background technique [0004] Telematics units are widely used in vehicles today to provide various wireless assistance services to drivers and passengers. For example, roadside assistance, which historically involved an immobilized vehicle and physical access to the vehicle by a service personnel, can now in many cases be provided remotely via wireless telecommunication with the vehicle through existing cellular network tools. Thus, in the event a key is accidentally locked inside a door, a phone ...
