  • Patent number: 11190903
    Abstract: A method for operating a telematics system that determines the current geographic position of a user device with respect to a static boundary separating a first zone and a second zone, determines at least one first parameter, determines a dynamic boundary separating the first zone and the second zone, based on the course of the static boundary, the current geographic position and the at least one first parameter, determines whether the current position of the user device is located in the first zone or the second zone based on the course of the dynamic boundary, and activates or deactivates one or more telematics services depending on the zone the user device is located in.

  • Patent number: 10051102
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to controlling a terminal system. An example computer-implemented method for controlling a terminal system, which is connectable to multiple provider networks and comprises multiple network access devices (NADs) and a computer system, includes reading information on the physical and/or logical location of the terminal system, reading user configurations and provider service layer agreements, and, based on the read information, user configurations, and provider service layer agreements, creating associations between applications to be run on the NADs or the terminal system, the NADs, and the multiple provider networks. The example method further includes, based on the created associations and the information on the physical and/or logical location of the terminal system, selecting one of the NADs and one of the provider networks for running one of the applications on the selected NAD and connecting the selected NAD with the selected provider network.

  • Patent number: 9894463
    Abstract: A terminal system may be connected to a communication network and multiple network access devices (NADs). The terminal system may include a computer system and a database. The computer system may read information from the database regarding associations between the NADs and media and applications to be run on the computer system and/or the NADs. Based on the read information the computer system can control access of: a) at least one of the NADs to a media and/or b) at least one of the applications to a media and/or c) at least one of the applications to at least one of the NADs. The information can include provider rules for associations between providers and NADs for providers providing services via the communication network and/or constraints on associations between NADs and applications.

  • Patent number: 9201844
    Abstract: A telematics system can include a processor, installed in a vehicle, ship, or other mode of transport of people, configured to identify an error state of an telematics component providing a telematics service. The processor can also be configured to communicate the error state to a logger component via a logging message. The logger component may be configured to generate a log file based on the logging message.

  • Patent number: 8913998
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing data traffic comprises connecting at least two telematic devices to a computer system and managing, by the computer system, a connection of the at least two telematic devices to a communication network for receiving data from the communication network by the at least two telematic devices. The method runs at least one telematic application on the computer system or on at least one of the at least two telematic devices based on the data received from the communication network.
