Abstract

A method carried out by a vehicle for facilitating installation of a vehicle access application on a mobile device. The method begins by establishing short range communication with a mobile device. The vehicle sends identification information to a remote facility, wherein the identification information includes information pertaining to the vehicle, a user of the vehicle, and / or the mobile device. The vehicle receives a response from the remote facility, wherein the response indicates eligibility of the user to control one or more vehicle operations using the application. The vehicle determines whether the application is installed on the mobile device and prompts the user of the vehicle to install the application to the mobile device when it is determined that the application is not installed on the mobile device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention involves installing a registration-based mobile device application for accessing vehicle information and controlling vehicle functions. Background technique [0002] Many vehicles today are equipped with short-range communication capabilities, such as the ability to communicate wirelessly with mobile devices carried by vehicle users. OEMs are developing mobile applications that enable authorized mobile device users of vehicles to remotely access vehicle information and functions from their mobile phones or other mobile devices. Typically, these mobile device applications can be downloaded to the mobile device and then require free or paid registration to enable the user to access their vehicle via the application. Registration typically includes confirmation that the registered user is authorized to access the vehicle, and this may include requiring the user to establish an account with the OEM or its telematics service provider....
