“Systems and methods implementing a communication protocol for data communication with a vehicle”
First Claim
1. A system for establishing a communication protocol for data communication, comprising an on-board vehicle system of a vehicle, the on-board vehicle system having at least one processor programmed or configured to:
- in response to receiving a communication from a beacon device, determine identification information corresponding to at least one mobile device located in or around the vehicle, wherein the identification information corresponding to at least one mobile device comprises identification information associated with an identity of a primary user associated with the at least one mobile device, wherein, when determining identification information corresponding to the at least one mobile device, the at least one processor is programmed or configured to;
scan an interior of the vehicle for a presence of at least one wireless signal transmitted by the at least one mobile device;
identify the at least one wireless signal transmitted by the at least one mobile device;
identify the at least one mobile device based on an identifier included in the at least one wireless signal without making a wireless communication connection to the at least one mobile device;
determine that the at least one mobile device is included in a device list stored by the on-board vehicle system based on identifying the at least one mobile device;
determine the identity information associated with the identity of the primary user based on the device list;
establish a first wireless communication connection between a remote computing system and the at least one mobile device;
transmit the identity information associated with the identity of the primary user to the remote computing system via the first wireless communication connection;
in response to establishing the first wireless communication connection between the remote computing system and the at least one mobile device, establish a second wireless communication connection between the on-board vehicle system and the at least one mobile device;
establish a communication channel between the remote computing system and the on-board vehicle system via;
the first wireless communication connection between the remote computing system and the at least one mobile device, andthe second wireless communication connection between the on-board vehicle system and the at least one mobile device; and
receive information associated with content based on the identity information associated with the identity of the primary user for presentation via at least one display device or at least one audio device.

Abstract
A system and method configured to establish a communication connection between a vehicle and a remote computing device for data transmission. A beacon device is configured at a location to detect the presence of the vehicle, transmit an identity of the location to the vehicle, and communicate with the vehicle to determine an identity of the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to communicate with mobile devices of occupants of the vehicle. The remote computing device is connected to the beacon device via a data communication network and configured to determine, via the beacon device communicating with the vehicle, identification information of at least one mobile device of at least one occupant of the vehicle, and establish the communication connection between the computing device and the vehicle based at least in part on the identification information and the identity of the vehicle.
