20080240051 | WIRELESS DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING WIRELESS DEVICES - A wireless diagnostic monitoring system and a method for monitoring wireless devices are provided. The system includes at least one wireless device having a first RF transceiver and a first microprocessor operably coupled to the first RF transceiver. The wireless device is configured to transmit an RF signal having a diagnostic message having operational status information associated with the wireless device and a unique identifier identifying the wireless device. The system further includes a monitoring device having a second RF transceiver and a second microprocessor operably coupled to the second RF transceiver. The second RF transceiver is configured to receiver the RF signal. The second microprocessor is configured to determine an operational task to perform based on the operational status information. The second microprocessor is further configured to store data associated with the operational task in a memory device. | 10-02-2008 |
20080253581 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STREAMING DATA BETWEEN A PORTABLE SERVER COMPUTING DEVICE AND A CLIENT COMPUTING DEVICE - A system and a method for streaming data between a portable server computing device and a client computing device are provided. The method include transmitting an RF signal having streaming data from a first audio file from the portable server computing device to a client computing device. The method further includes emitting sound corresponding to the streaming data in the RF signal from the client computing device, in response to the client computing device receiving the RF signal. | 10-16-2008 |
20090273438 | Remote monitoring, interrogation and control apparatus for stationary and mobile systems - A wireless control apparatus includes a function control device adapted to control a function and a nomadic device. The nomadic device and the function control device communicate by a long-range communication network to control functions on the function control device in response to signals from the nomadic device. The nomadic device and the function control device can also communicate by a mid-range communication network. A portable fob transmits signals to the function control device and/or the nomadic device for controlling functions. | 11-05-2009 |
20110234372 | INTERACTIVE PHONE MESSAGE CONTROL APPARATUS FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A motor vehicle includes control apparatus for establishing an interactive human-machine interface (HMI) between a vehicle driver and an on-board communication system that is wirelessly coupled to a nomadic communication device carried by the driver. The on-board communication system has the ability to activate the nomadic communication device to check for messages, and the interactive HMI includes a configurable display through which check-message inquiries are selectively communicated to the driver, and an input device selectively manipulated by the driver to accept a check-message inquiry. An HMI controller responsive to sensed vehicle operating condition data and driver manipulation of the input device determines if and when a check-message inquiry should be communicated to the driver. | 09-29-2011 |
20120117198 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO RECAST INFORMATION COMMUNICATED BETWEEN A HOST SYSTEM AND A REMOTE INTERFACE - A communication system for recasting information communicated between a host system (smart phone, internet server) outputting an application generated signal, and a remote interface (in-vehicle display) so application content is displayed in a specified manner on the remote interface in accordance with a recast rule. The recast rules define how to interpret or analyze the application generated signal and recast content in that signal for output by the remote interface. The recast rules may be configured to detect control commands input by an operator, and in accordance with recast rules, generate a host control signal configured to operate some aspect of the host system. | 05-10-2012 |
