Systems, methods and devices for a telematics web services interface feature
A telematics system is disclosed that includes a web services interface in communication with a secondary software system, wherein the web services interface comprises at least one processor configured to retrieve, receive, analyze and/or transmit data in response to a request from the secondary software system. In addition, the telematics system includes a gateway system configured to transmit data through a network to an in-vehicle telematics device and receive data from the in-vehicle telematics device, wherein the data comprises diagnostic data and/or location-based data associated with a host vehicle. The telematics system also includes a database in communication with the gateway system and the web services interface, wherein the database is configured to receive and store data transmitted from the gateway system and/or the web services interface.
1 - 19 . (canceled)
20 . A method of monitoring and communicating at least one of diagnostic data and location-based data concerning a host vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving at least one of diagnostic data and location-based data from an in-vehicle telematics device;
receiving a first message from a secondary software system;
processing the first message into a processed first message;
retrieving data from the database according to the processed first message;
processing the data retrieved from the database according to the processed first message;
processing a web services description language file into a second message; and transmitting the second message to the secondary software system according to the processed first message.
21 . An apparatus, comprising:
means for receiving at least one of diagnostic data and location-based data from an in-vehicle telematics device;
means for receiving a first message from a secondary software system;
means for processing the first message into a processed first message;
means for retrieving data from the database according to the processed first message;
means for processing the data retrieved from the database according to the processed first message;
means for processing a web services description language file into a second message; and
means for transmitting the second message to the secondary software system according to the second message.
22 . A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a processor to:
receive at least one of diagnostic data and location-based data from an in-vehicle telematics device;
receive a first message from a secondary software system;
process the first message into a processed first message;
retrieve data from the database according to the processed first message;
process the data retrieved from the database according to the processed first message;
process a web services description language file into a second message; and
transmit the second message to the secondary software system according to the processed first message.
23 . The method of claim 20 wherein the secondary software system is an end-user application.
24 . The method of claim 23 wherein the end-user application is capable of providing web services.
25 . The method of claim 20 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
26 . The method of claim 20 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
27 . The method of claim 20 wherein the first message is a SOAP message.
28 . The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the secondary software system is an end-user application.
29 . The apparatus of claim 28 wherein the end-user application is capable of providing web services.
30 . The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
31 . The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
32 . The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the first message is a SOAP message.
33 . The computer readable medium of claim 22 wherein the secondary software system is an end-user application.
34 . The computer readable medium of claim 33 wherein the end-user application is capable of providing web services.
35 . The computer readable medium of claim 22 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
36 . The computer readable medium of claim 22 wherein the first message includes code for sending the second message in the form of an XML message.
37 . The computer readable medium of claim 22 wherein the first message is a SOAP message.
