Method And System For Providing Vehicle Emissions Data To An Authorized Recipient

View page
US Patent:
7774111, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:
Aug 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/463134
Inventors:
Christopher L. Oesterling - Troy MI, US
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G01M 15/00
G01M 15/10
US Classification:
701 33, 701 32
Abstract:
A method for providing vehicle emissions data from a vehicle to a remotely located call center, so that the call center can then provide the emissions data to one or more authorized recipients. According to one embodiment, this method includes the steps of receiving a vehicle emissions data request, sending emissions data from one or more vehicle electronic modules (VEMs) to a vehicle telematics unit, and wirelessly transmitting the emissions data to a call center. Once at the call center, the emissions data can then be provided to one or more authorized recipients, which can include governmental entities, according to a number of different techniques.

Configurable Vehicle Bus Storage Cache Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
7826944, Nov 2, 2010
Filed:
Dec 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/610923
Inventors:
Christopher L. Oesterling - Troy MI, US
Fahd Z. Laghrari - Commerce Township MI, US
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H04L 29/08
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
701 33, 701 2, 701 35, 711118, 342 50
Abstract:
A remotely configurable telematics unit cache provides for selective caching of data of interest to a remote caller. The configurable caching system ensures that selected data is available when the vehicle is not in operation and the telematics unit is not powered on. A remote caller can remotely configure the telematics unit cache to selectively store data of interest. Subsequently, the telematics module can accept calls from the caller and the cached information can be pulled. Thus, the configurable cache allows a remote caller to selectively and positively configure the cache to store desired data to be later uploaded without requiring a call-back from the telematics unit and without limiting the cached data to predetermined data groups.

Method And System For Informing A Vehicle Telematics User Of A Connection Status

View page
US Patent:
7856297, Dec 21, 2010
Filed:
Nov 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/601443
Inventors:
Nathan Ampunan - Novi MI, US
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Christopher L. Oesterling - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G01M 17/00
US Classification:
701 29, 4555692
Abstract:
A method for informing an in-vehicle telematics unit user of a connection status generally includes establishing a connection between the telematics unit and a call center, and initiating communication between the user and a call center service advisor. Next, the communication may be temporarily suspended while maintaining the connection. A connection status signal informing the user of the status of the connection is transmitted from the call center to the telematics unit during the temporary suspension in communication. After the signal is transmitted, the communication between the user and the call center service advisor is ultimately restored.

Vehicle Diagnostic Interface Mechanism

US Patent:
8019500, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Dec 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/618377
Inventors:
Christopher L. Oesterling - Troy MI, US
John Correia - Livonia MI, US
Carl J Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Nathan Ampunan - Novi MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G01M 17/00
US Classification:
701 29, 702122
Abstract:
In examples of the invention, a vehicle diagnostics update mechanism provides a frequent connection to a vehicle telematics unit. In this way, large amounts of vehicle data that are available when the vehicle is on or cached, i. e. , when the vehicle is off, can be pulled and used to provide a vehicle update to the user. In one example, a “vehicle dashboard” application running on a vehicle owner's computer in the form of a tool bar provides diagnostics updates in a quick and easy to use format. The tool bar also provides a means for executing user selections and commands and for providing alerts to the user.

Method For Obtaining Electronic Vehicle Identification Number (Vin)

View page
US Patent:
8321524, Nov 27, 2012
Filed:
Sep 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/532273
Inventors:
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Nathan Ampunan - Novi MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709217, 709219, 3404261
Abstract:
A method for obtaining an electronic Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from a vehicle. According to one embodiment, an electronic VIN request is generated at the vehicle through a vehicle user interface, such as a visual display, a microphone, a speaker, a keypad, or an electronic control or button. According to another embodiment, the electronic VIN request is generated at an entity, such as a remote call center, that is remotely located from the vehicle. In either case, the electronic VIN request causes the vehicle hardware to query one or more vehicle electronic module(s) for electronic VIN(s) stored therein, so that output related to the electronic VIN(s) can be provided.

Inventors:
Jeffrey P. Christensen - Clinton Township MI, US
Michael D. Solomon - Novi MI, US
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Ryan M. Edwards - Macomb MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
G06Q 20/00
US Classification:
701 291, 701 293, 701 294, 701 323, 701 334, 705 16, 705413
Abstract:
A pre-filling vehicle data check method and system are disclosed herein. One example of the method includes receiving, at a financial institution, an authorization request from a filling station for initiating a filling event, where the authorization request includes a financial code. Via a computing device at the financial institution, the financial code is recognized as being associated with at least one of a vehicle identification number or a station identification associated with a vehicle, thereby identifying the vehicle. At least one parameter of the vehicle is identified via a computing device at a data center in selective communication with the vehicle and the financial institution, and an authorization or denial of the at least one filling event based at least upon the at least one parameter is transmitted from the computing device at the data center.

US Patent:
8464068, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:
Dec 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/610566
Inventors:
Nathan Ampunan - Novi MI, US
Carl J. Hering - Farmington Hills MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 21/00
US Classification:
713187
Abstract:
A method for detecting an unauthorized programming or installation of software on an electronic module on a vehicle. The method obtains information regarding programming of the electronic module.
