Patent Images
1. A method of remote interaction with a vehicle comprising the steps of:
- receiving a voice command;
processing the received voice command with an interactive voice response system;
responsive to the processing step, interpreting the voice command as a prompt to perform an action at the vehicle;
sending a signal to the vehicle on a control channel of a cellular network in response to the prompt;
at the vehicle, monitoring a control channel of a cellular network;
detecting the sent signal on the control channel; and
performing the action in response to detecting the sent signal.

Abstract
A telemetry system coupled to a vehicle can communicate with a remote site using the overhead control channels of a wireless network, such as a cellular mobile radiotelephone network. The telemetry system can monitor or control aspects of the vehicle'"'"'s operations based on remote user input. The telemetry system can receive a command from a data processing center and, based on the command, perform an action at the vehicle such that a user can remotely interact with the vehicle.
