Abstract

A data messaging system includes a satellite radio receiver configured to receive a message including a message identifier and two or more filter criteria and to process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the two or more filter criteria. A telematic unit is coupled to the satellite radio receiver. The telematic unit is configured to provide positional data to the satellite radio receiver. A body control module is also coupled to the satellite radio receiver. The body control module is configured to provide vehicle information to the satellite radio receiver. A display, coupled to the satellite radio receiver, is configured to display the processed message.

Claims

1. A satellite radio messaging system comprising:

a satellite radio receiver configured to receive a message including a message identifier and a filter criteria and to process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the filter criteria; and

a display coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to display the processed message.

2. The messaging system of claim 1, wherein a telematic unit is coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to provide location information to the satellite radio receiver.

3. The messaging system of claim 2, wherein a body control module is coupled to the satellite radio receiver and configured to provide vehicular information to the satellite radio receiver.

4. The messaging system of claim 1, wherein the filter criteria is based on a vehicle identification number.

5. The messaging system of claim 1, wherein the filter criteria is based on a regional code, the regional code based on locally clustered regions.

6. The messaging system of claim 1, wherein the filter criteria is based on a GPS location.

7. The messaging system of claim 1, wherein the satellite radio receiver receives a message comprising multiple filter criteria.

8. The messaging system of claim 1 wherein the display is further configured to display a hyperlink to a radio channel with the processed message.

9. The messaging system of claim 1 wherein the message identifier includes a message identification number and a message priority.

10. A method for receiving messages at a satellite radio comprising:

receiving a message;

determining a message ID of the message;

determining if the message ID is greater than a last received message ID;

filtering the message to determine a displayable message based on a first filtering criteria if the message ID is greater than the last received message ID; and

displaying the displayable message.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises the step of filtering the message based on the first filtering criteria and a second filtering criteria.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the vehicle identification number.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the vehicle location.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of filtering the message further comprises filtering the message based on the GPS defined area.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising evaluating the first filtering criteria and the second filtering criteria using Boolean algebra.

16. The method of claim 13, further comprising receiving location data from the telematic unit to determine the location data to filter the message.

17. The method of claim 12, further comprising receiving a vehicle identification number from a body control module to be used to filter the message.

18. The method of claim 10, further comprising displaying a hyperlink in the display, and turning to a specific channel of the satellite radio upon selection of the hyperlink.

19. A data messaging system comprising:

a satellite radio receiver configured to;

receive a message including a message identifier and two or more filter criteria; and

process the message to generate a processed message according to the message identifier and the filter criteria;

a telematic unit coupled to the satellite radio receiver, the telematic unit configured to provide positional data to the satellite radio receiver;

a body control module coupled to the satellite radio receiver, the body control module configured to provide vehicle information to the satellite radio receiver; and

a display configured to display the processed message.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the satellite radio receiver receives a hyperlink associated with the message, the hyperlink displayable on the display, the hyperlink, when selected, tuning the satellite radio to a channel that provides audio information related to the message.
