SATELLITE DATA MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH RADIO CHANNEL HYPERLINKING
A data messaging system includes a satellite radio receiver configured to receive a message including a message identifier and two or more filter criteria and to process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the two or more filter criteria. A telematic unit is coupled to the satellite radio receiver. The telematic unit is configured to provide positional data to the satellite radio receiver. A body control module is also coupled to the satellite radio receiver. The body control module is configured to provide vehicle information to the satellite radio receiver. A display, coupled to the satellite radio receiver, is configured to display the processed message.
1 . A satellite radio messaging system comprising:
a satellite radio receiver configured to receive a message including a message identifier and a filter criteria and to process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the filter criteria; and
a display coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to display the processed message.
2 . The messaging system of claim 1 , wherein a telematic unit is coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to provide location information to the satellite radio receiver.
3 . The messaging system of claim 2 , wherein a body control module is coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to provide vehicular information to the satellite radio receiver.
4 . The messaging system of claim 1 , wherein the filter criteria is based on a vehicle identification number.
5 . The messaging system of claim 1 , wherein the filter criteria is based on a regional code, the regional code based on locally clustered regions.
6 . The messaging system of claim 1 , wherein the filter criteria is based on a GPS location.
7 . The messaging system of claim 1 , wherein the satellite radio receiver receives a message comprising multiple filter criteria.
8 . The messaging system of claim 1 wherein the display is further configured to display a hyperlink to a radio channel with the processed message.
9 . The messaging system of claim 1 wherein the message identifier includes a message identification number and a message priority.
10 . A method for receiving messages at a satellite radio comprising:
receiving a message;
determining a message ID of the message;
determining if the message ID is greater than a last received message ID;
filtering the message to determine a displayable message based on a first filtering criteria if the message ID is greater than the last received message ID; and
displaying the displayable message.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises the step of filtering the message based on the first filtering criteria and a second filtering criteria.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the vehicle identification number.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the vehicle location.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the GPS defined area.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising evaluating the first filtering criteria and the second filtering criteria using Boolean algebra.
16 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving location data from the telematic unit to determine the location data to filter the message.
17 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving a vehicle identification number from a body control module to be used to filter the message.
18 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying a hyperlink in the display, and turning to a specific channel of the satellite radio upon selection of the hyperlink.
19 . A data messaging system comprising:
a satellite radio receiver configured to:
receive a message including a message identifier and two or more filter criteria; and
process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the filter criteria;
a telematic unit coupled to the satellite radio receiver, the telematic unit configured to provide positional data to the satellite radio receiver;
a body control module coupled to the satellite radio receiver, the body control module configured to provide vehicle information to the satellite radio receiver; and
a display configured to display the processed message.
20 . The system of claim 19 wherein the satellite radio receiver receives a hyperlink associated with the message, the hyperlink displayable on the display, the hyperlink, when selected, tuning the satellite radio to a channel that provides audio information related to the message.
