Communication systems and methods for flexible telematics at a vehicle
View Patent ↗A system for allocating communications resources for telematics communications is provided. The system includes a service provider, a gateway, and a telematics device. The telematics device: initiates a telematics communication between the telematics device and the service provider via a network; determines whether a network resource allocation for the telematics communication is still required based upon user intent information; and sends a notification of a change in the network resource allocation via a secondary communication channel. The secondary communication channel can be one of a first link coupled to the gateway and a second link coupled to the telematics device.
1. A system for allocating communications resources for telematics communications, comprising:
a service provider;
a gateway; and
a telematics device, the telematics device:
initiating a telematics communication between the telematics device and the service provider via a network;
determining whether a network resource allocation for the telematics communication is still required based upon user intent information; and
sending a notification of a change in the network resource allocation via a secondary communication channel, the secondary communication channel comprising one of a first link coupled to the gateway and a second link coupled to the telematics device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is attributable to a cancellation.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is attributable to an upgrade.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is attributable to a request alteration.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call redirection due to an upgrade where there is no network acknowledgement.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call cancellation where a dual-tone multi-frequency call is used to communicate the call cancellation after a failure of voice and Short Message Service (SMS) messages.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call cancellation where a dual-tone multi-frequency call is used to communicate the call cancellation after a failure of voice and Short Message Service (SMS) messages and prior to any data transfer.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call cancellation where all connections measures fail.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call termination of a voice connection between the device and the service provider.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call cancellation before a voice connection is established between the device and the service provider.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call cancellation before a voice connection is established between the device and the service provider and after a call action device is actuated.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the network resource allocation is a call redirection due to an upgrade.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secondary communication channel supports out-of-band data.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the out-of-band data comprises short message service (SMS) data.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the out-of-band data comprises dual channel packet data.
