Appl. No.:

09/916376

Inventors:

George Knish - Mead CO, US
David Werner - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

H02J007/00

US Classification:

320/116000

Abstract:

The battery charging process monitors the battery charging pockets waiting for an indication that a battery or a phone-battery combination has been inserted into their respective pockets. The first battery that is inserted is the high priority battery and is charged first while any subsequent battery inserted into a charging pocket has no power applied until the high priority battery is charged. If the phone enters a call while in the charger, it becomes the high priority battery if it was not already. In this case, power is removed from the individual battery and applied to the phone-battery combination until the call has been completed. At this point, the process returns the high priority status to the battery that had it prior to the call interrupt.

International Classification:

H04W 36/00
H04B 17/318
H04B 17/382
H04W 36/30

Abstract:

A method of selecting primary and secondary cellular networks for a vehicle comprises measuring cellular connectivity parameters for cellular communication between a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a first cellular network and for cellular communication between a second SIM and a second cellular network, comparing measured cellular connectivity parameters for the first SIM to measured cellular connectivity parameters for the second SIM, designating one of the first SIM and the first cellular network and the second SIM and the second cellular network as a primary network, and designating the other one of the first SIM and the first cellular network and the second SIM and the second cellular network as a secondary network, measuring cellular connectivity parameters for the primary and secondary networks, comparing the measured cellular connectivity parameters for the primary and secondary networks, switching designation of the primary and secondary network based on measured cellular connectivity parameters.

Abstract:

A system and method of selecting a modem for cellular communications while the vehicle is in a primary propulsion off state. The method includes: detecting a transition from a primary propulsion on state to a primary propulsion off state of the vehicle; after detecting the transition from the primary propulsion on state to the primary propulsion off state, measuring one or more cellular connectivity parameters for a plurality of modems included in the vehicle; based on the cellular connectivity parameter(s), selecting a modem of the plurality of modems; after selecting the modem of the plurality of modems, then turning off non-selected modem(s) of the plurality of modems, wherein the non-selected modem(s) include the plurality of modems other than the selected modem; and sending a selected modem indication to a remote server, wherein the selected modem indication indicates to the remote server to use the selected modem when sending messages to the vehicle.

H04W 76/02

Abstract:

A method of connectivity management of a telematics unit. The method includes: setting, via a controller, a telematics unit at a first connectivity mode; establishing, via an antenna, communications with a wireless carrier system at the first connectivity mode; determining, via the controller, that the vehicle has encountered a connectivity-type event; shifting, via the controller, the telematics unit from the first connectivity mode to a second connectivity mode; and establishing, via the antenna, communications with the wireless carrier system at the second connectivity mode.
