  • Patent number: 12490140
    Abstract: A system for managing communication between a vehicle and remote assistance unit includes a telematics unit connected to the vehicle. The telematics unit is engaged in a subscription service with the remote assistance unit. A command unit is in communication with the telematics unit, the command unit having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The command unit is adapted to determine if one or more deactivation conditions for the subscription service are met. Respective severity values for the deactivation conditions are determined. The command unit is adapted to calculate a cumulative severity index based in part on the respective severity values. An automated deactivation module is executed for the subscription service when the cumulative severity index exceeds a predefined severity threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250119714
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting a first wireless communication from a user device via an authorized first cellular network. The first wireless communication includes a current geographic location of the user device. The user device maintains a forbidden list identifying unauthorized cellular networks. Based on determining that the user device is approaching a geofence between a first network coverage area of the first cellular network and a second network coverage area of a second cellular network that is identified on the forbidden list, the method includes removing the second cellular network from the forbidden list. With the second cellular network removed from the forbidden list and based on the user device entering the second network coverage area, the method includes transmitting a second wireless communication from the user device via the second cellular network that includes an updated geographic location of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250058636
    Abstract: A method of predictively charging a vehicle including a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) includes providing a telematics system including a telematics module, at least one external data source, a utility data source, and at least one user interface. The telematics system receives weather forecast data from the at least one external data source; monitors the weather forecast data for a predicted weather event; compares the predicted weather event to historical weather events during which power disruptions occurred; determines whether the predicted weather event is indicative of a potential power disruption based upon the comparison; generates a power status report via the telematics system based upon a determination that the predicted weather event may be indicative of the potential power disruption; sends the power status report to the at least one user interface; and commands a charging of the vehicle based on the power status report.

  • Publication number: 20250035462
    Abstract: A method of tracking objects relative to a vehicle. The method includes identifying a route object list associated with a predetermined vehicle route. The route object list includes a list of objects to be taken on the vehicle for the predetermined vehicle route. At least one object associated with the vehicle with at least one sensor on the vehicle is identified to determine a current object list for the vehicle. The current object list is compared to the route object list associated with the predetermined route to identify at least one missing object from the current object list when compared to the route object list.

  • Patent number: 9204272
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for serving binary short message service (SMS) content to multiple mobile devices that use different wireless networks to receive data. One implementation involves a method for serving binary SMS content to the subscribers of a telematics service provider (TSP) on multiple mobile devices that are provisioned with multiple wireless networks. The method involves receiving a binary SMS at a receiving module of an external short message entity (ESME), translating the SMS into a protocol data unit (PDU), and routing the PDU to an SMS gateway producing application. The PDU is directed to a virtual serial port, which is created by the gateway producing application and mapped to a physical serial port at a terminal server. The PDU is sent from the terminal server to a data modem that is provisioned with a wireless carrier, and the data modem is instructed to transmit the SMS to a mobile device.
