Method for entering a personalized communication profile into a communication user interface
First Claim
1. A method for entering a user communication profile into a user interface in a vehicle to enable a user to wirelessly communicate with a server using the user interface, comprising:
- pressing one of a plurality of switches, each associated with a unique first code, to send a first code to the user interface in the vehicle; and
using the first code to query the server to download a user profile corresponding to the first code from the server to adjust communication options at the user interface.

Abstract
An improved system and procedure for using user IDs to enter a personalized communication profile into a communication user interface, and preferably a vehicle-based communication user interface. In one embodiment, the user IDs correspond to switches, which may comprises switches within the vehicle or on devices in wireless communication with the vehicle, such as a key fob. The key fob code can either constitute the user ID or can be user to retrieve it from either the vehicle'"'"'s head unit or a communications server. The switch may be dedicated to inputting the user ID, or may comprise switches also serving other functions, such as seat adjustment of the vehicle. The user ID can also be loaded using a display associated with the user interface. Additionally, the user ID may also be retrieved using a voice recognition module, which allows for loading of the communication profile without the necessity of pressing switches. The user profile retrieved using the user ID can either be stored at the head unit or the communication server.
