Patent number: 8495179Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method that includes a vehicle that exchanges information with the remote location by way of a communication network. A remote server transmits vehicle-related information to the vehicle by way of a communication system. Information may also be broadcast to and received by the vehicle by way of a broadcast communication system. A receiver of the vehicle provides user access to only a subset of the broadcast information based on user preferences of a user profile. The user may update the user profile by accessing and updating it at either the vehicle or by accessing a database. The user may access the database through a network, such as the Internet. The vehicle also selectively transmits vehicle-related information to the remote location when a predetermined event occurs. The vehicle-related information is compiled and analyzed at the remote location, and the analyzed information is transmitted back to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Habaguchi, Hiromitsu Yuhara, Tsuneo Ohno, Kazuya Tamura, Jamie Clough, Rich Shannon, Jon Okino, John Gusiff, Daya Appa
