摘要:
A novel method of and system for enabling the use of one portable cellular phone only in voice communication over a radio voice channel with a cellular network control center for voice-requesting position or location data or other services; and, with the aid of a vehicle GPS-transpoder activated in response to signaling from the control center over a separate radio-data channel path, to receive and process at the vehicle GPS location,data from satellites, and to transmit the location data over the said data control path to the control center; and for then sending such data and information therefrom to the user of the portable cellular phone—the system being also adaptable for use by dispatcher managers of fleets of vehicles.

摘要:
An information delivery system including a head end broadcasting a data stream of media objects, the head end being coupled to a broadcast television interface and at least one information service provider and including an encoder for encoding information in the media object is disclosed. The system may deliver and implement a programming guide delineating programming information available on the information delivery system in one or more media objects in the data stream in an encoded fashion by the encoder. A user terminal is coupled to the head-end and receives the media objects. The user terminal has an output and includes a decoder for the media objects. Also provided in one aspect is a user interface, at least partially stored in the user-terminal, which selects a user-defined subset of media objects for provision to the output of the user terminal. Further, an information navigation system for an information delivery system is provided. The navigation system functions with the electronic program guide and includes a user interface having a plurality of icon representations of various functions of the system, and including a broadcast television interface. The navigation system also includes a smart service navigator which interacts with the user interface and the electronic program guide to provide an output to the user.
摘要:
A technique and apparatus for dynamically establishing and varying GeoFencing of a GPS-processor equipped vehicle or the like by providing specialized software and firmware at the vehicle processor to enable internal calculation of shape and size of GeoFences about the vehicle upon commands of the control center station, and without the necessity for such calculation or data point information transmission from the station.

Extending the activation and tracking capability of stolen vehicle recovery dedicated radio-frequency networks by the supplementary use of widely geographically provided cellular telephone-frequency band networks.
摘要:
A method of expanding the activation and tracking capability of a limited number of stolen vehicle recovery dedicated radio-frequency networks activated from a control center upon notification of the theft of the vehicle includes supplementarily using more numerous widely geographically provided cellular-telephone frequency band networks to respond to the control center to indicate rough location of the stolen vehicle, while the recovery networks provide fine tracking of the vehicle for recovery.
摘要:
A technique for adding to the security of vehicle inspection and the facility for radio-tracking of a vehicle attempting escape from the inspector, embodying the use of a miniaturized specifically coded self-powered radio-transponder or transmitter temporarily attachable by the inspector externally to a stopped vehicle and trackable in the event of vehicle escape.

摘要:
A system and technique for improving the speed and ease of missing vehicle location and recovery by vehicle-carried transponder periodic coded replies to radio interrogation by a network of (VHF) transmitting towers, by integrating a concealed GPS location receiver with the transponder and providing the GPS-obtained coordinate information through the VHF network to enable a preliminary initial recovery location from which to home-in for recovery by subsequent direction-finding from the periodic transponder responses. Other location-on-demand services are also readily operable through the use of this VHF network, including providing said GPS coordinate or location information on the Internet.
