Method and system for selectively communicating with mobile platforms
First Claim
1. Method for selectively communicating from a remote system to a subset of a plurality of vehicles each vehicle equipped with a first wireless communications device and a second wireless communication device, comprising:
- broadcasting a common message from the remote system to the plurality of vehicles via the first wireless communication device;
selecting a subset of the plurality of vehicles based upon content of the common message; and
,establishing a communications link between the remote system and the second wireless communication device of each of the selected subset of vehicles to transmit formatted electronic data therebetween.

Abstract
There is provided a method for selectively communicating from a remote system to a subset of a plurality of vehicles. Each of the vehicles is equipped with a first wireless communications device and a second wireless communication device. The method comprises broadcasting a common message from the remote system to the vehicles via the first wireless communication device. A subset of the plurality of vehicles is selected based upon the common message. A communications link is established between the remote system and the second wireless communication device of each of the selected subset of vehicles to transmit formatted electronic data therebetween.

16. A vehicle, adapted to selectively communicate with a remote system via a remote access point during a period when the mobile platform is shutdown, the vehicle comprising:
-
a first communications receiver, adapted to receive and identify a common message broadcast from the remote system, the common message an electronic data stream comprising a header and a vehicle data field, wherein the header comprises a message identifier and a format descriptor for the vehicle data field, a designator for a communications channel for the wireless access point, a selection parameter type, and parametric data associated therewith; the first communications receiver operative to selectively activate a second communications receiver when the vehicle has a selection parameter type and parametric data associated therewith which conform to the contents of the common message communicated to the first receiver; and
,the second communications receiver, operative to establish a communications link with the remote system via the remote access point when selectively activated by the first communication receiver. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A system, comprising an electronic computing system adapted to selectively wirelessly communicate with a plurality of vehicles during a period when the vehicles are non-operating, comprising:
-
the electronic computing system, signally connected to a wireless access point and a radio-frequency broadcast transmitter; the radio-frequency broadcast transmitter adapted to generate and transmit a common message to each of the vehicles; the electronic computing system adapted to establish a communications link via the wireless access point with a subset of the vehicles;
the subset of the vehicles having a selection parameter type and parametric data associated therewith which conform to the contents of the common message;wherein the common message is an electronic data stream comprising a header and a vehicle data field, wherein the header comprises;
a message identifier and a format descriptor for the vehicle data field, a designator for a communications channel for the wireless access point, a selection parameter type, and parametric data associated therewith.
