摘要： A method of advertising to a targeted vehicle involves, via a processor at a service center, determining at least one vehicle navigation route to a point of interest, and identifying a marketing agency that represents an entity that is at least one of i) associated with the point of interest, or ii) offering at least one of goods or services directed toward at least one occupant of the targeted vehicle traveling along the vehicle navigation route(s). The method further involves offering, to the marketing agency, advertisement space on a medium external to the targeted vehicle and located along the vehicle navigation route(s). Upon receiving an acceptance of the offer, via the processor at the service center, a command is submitted to a third party facility to display an advertisement of the marketing agency on the medium, where the advertisement is directed to the targeted vehicle.

摘要： The vehicle of a subscriber of mobile application services is provided with wireless telecommunication apparatus for communication over a wireless network and a public switched telephone network with a service center. When a subscriber calls the service center to locate a particular point of interest (POI), the service center advisor extracts data from a database and downloads it to the vehicle. The information includes a dialable telephone number and an identifying speaker independent voice model of the POI and may include POI identification and location data. The vehicle is equipped with apparatus which stores the downloaded data for automated dialing of the dialable telephone number initiated by the subscriber speaking data matching the identifying speaker independent voice model and may include apparatus to visually or audibly display the identifying, locating and/or descriptive data. The subscriber may call the service center from the vehicle or from a telephone outside the vehicle, with the download to the vehicle resulting from either call. The vehicle may be equipped to store multiple dialable telephone numbers and identifying speaker independent voice models, with identification data for each displayed so that the subscriber may cycle through them to pick one for automated dialing.

摘要： The described method and system provide for notification to network applications by a telematics unit in standby mode of when the telematics unit is switching away from standby mode and will be come unavailable for communication with the network applications. The network application may include mobile applications for mobile devices (such as smartphones) and web applications accessible through web pages. The telematics unit may communicate with the back office(s) of the network applications. If the vehicle is a plug-type vehicle, the telematics unit or network application may further extend the standby period of the telematics unit or vehicle when the vehicle is plugged in.

摘要： A method of communicating between a vehicle and a call center includes establishing voice communication between a telematics unit of the vehicle and the call center; verbally communicating data during the voice communication; and designating, via an advisor at the call center, at least some of the verbally communicated data as significant data during a data entry mode of an operator station. Textual and/or graphical indicia corresponding to the significant data are sent from the call center to an in-vehicle display unit. The method further includes displaying the indicia on the in-vehicle display unit; determining whether the displayed indicia accurately correspond with the significant data; and confirming whether or not the displayed indicia accurately correspond with the significant data in response to one of (a) a signal from the telematics unit, or (b) an input by the call center advisor. A system incorporating the method is also disclosed herein.
