    Abstract: A system and method for performing remote vehicle commands such as opening and closing doors and windows. The method is carried out by the system and includes the steps of: receiving a first signal at a vehicle from a remote application via a wireless communication device installed in the vehicle as a part of the vehicle electronics; in response to receiving the first signal, transmitting a camera feed from one or more vehicle cameras on the vehicle to the remote application; receiving a remote command signal at the vehicle from the remote application; in response to receiving the remote command signal, performing one or more vehicle commands at the vehicle while continuing to transmit the camera feed from the vehicle to the remote application; and ending the transmission of the camera feed from the vehicle to the remote application after completing the one or more remote vehicle commands.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for confirming the accuracy and consistency of cellular device provisioning parameters such as telematics station identifiers (TSTIDs) stored at multiple locations. One implementation consists of a method for ensuring accuracy and consistency of parameters stored at multiple locations. The method involves storing parameters on a computer readable medium, connecting to a mobile station corresponding to a first stored parameter, and requesting the mobile station with which a connection has been established report parameters stored at the mobile station. The method further involves establishing an API call with a carrier network operator who provides services to the mobile station, transmitting a second stored parameter to the carrier network operator and requesting the carrier network operator report parameters corresponding to the second stored parameter. The method then compares the parameters received from the mobile station with the parameters received from the carrier network operator.

    Abstract: A method of extending connectivity of a recipient vehicle may be executed by a non-transitory computer-readable medium. During an ignition off state of the recipient vehicle, the method includes disabling a recipient cellular network access device (NAD) of the recipient vehicle and connecting to a low power communications source. The method includes communicating with a centralized location over the low power communications source. The low power communications source may be a recipient Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) within the recipient vehicle. The method may include connecting to a donor vehicle proximate the recipient vehicle. The donor vehicle includes a donor NAD and a donor BLE, such that the donor NAD of the donor vehicle communicates with the centralized location on behalf of the recipient vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicular autonomous preference system includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a cabin of a vehicle, and data processing hardware including a memory storing a user profile that includes user preferences and a trainable preference model that includes a model trainer. The data processing hardware is configured to execute the model trainer in response to sensor data received from one or more of the plurality of sensors to update the user preferences in the user profile. The data processing hardware is also configured to adjust ambient controls of the vehicle based on the trainable preference model and the updated user preferences.

    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a plurality of temperature sensors positioned in the vehicle and a control module in communication with the plurality of temperature sensors. The plurality of temperature sensors are configured to measure surface temperatures of objects in the vehicle. The control module is configured to receive the measured surface temperatures from the plurality of temperature sensors, determine whether any of the measured surface temperatures is greater than a defined threshold, and in response to any of the measured surface temperatures being greater than the defined threshold, transmit an alert signal to a user communication device indicative of the objects in the vehicle having the measured surface temperatures greater than the defined threshold. Other examples vehicle systems and methods for selectively controlling airflow in a vehicle and/or warning users of objects of a vehicle having potentially dangerous surface temperatures are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A location assistance system includes a distress vehicle and multiple assistance vehicles. The distress vehicle broadcasts an emergency signal. The assistance vehicles are operable to receive the emergency signal, determine multiple distances to the distress vehicle, triangulate among the assistance vehicles to generate a spatial map of the distress vehicle relative to the assistance vehicles, determine one or more approximately horizontal lines in the spatial map that include the distress vehicle and at least one horizontally aligned assistance vehicle in response to the distress vehicle and the at least one horizontally aligned assistance vehicle being on a same vertical level in the spatial map, coordinate among the assistance vehicles to determine one or more horizontal sequences along the one or more approximately horizontal lines, and flash the of the assistance vehicles in the one or more horizontal sequences to lead toward the distress vehicle.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a telecommunications system of a vehicle, the system including a mobile telecommunications module embedded in the vehicle, includes determining whether the embedded mobile telecommunications module is better able to communicate with a mobile telecommunications network than is a portable mobile telecommunications device located in the vehicle, using one or more criteria. If the embedded mobile telecommunications module is better able to communicate with a mobile telecommunications network than is the portable mobile telecommunications device based on the one or more criteria, a new call is placed with a mobile telecommunications network from the embedded mobile telecommunications module.

    Abstract: A communication system for a vehicle includes a controller adapted to selectively execute an alternative periodic connectivity mode for communication between a user of the vehicle and a remote assistance unit. The vehicle is not connected to a wireless plan. The controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The alternative periodic connectivity mode is activated based in part on at least one automatic trigger and/or a request from the user. The controller is adapted to assign a distinct identifier to the vehicle during execution of the alternative periodic connectivity mode. The distinct identifier is defined by a plurality of parameters, including a connection time interval, an internet protocol address range and a host port. The internet protocol address range and the host port may be dynamically configured to remain disengaged unless given a system clearance.
