CONTROL AND SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS USING REMOTE ACCESS
First Claim
1. A system for implementing remote communications with a vehicle, the system including a user apparatus and a host, the user apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to communicate with the host over a network and to receive a computer code section from the host;
a memory configured to store the received computer code section; and
a controller configured to install the stored computer code section, the controller being further configured to initialize an activation function in which a user is prompted for identification information to begin at least one of monitoring, controlling, or receiving constraint violations of the vehicle.

Abstract
The present system provides a method to allow vehicle users to locate, monitor, and control their vehicle and receive notifications of constraint violations by using a hand-held device and/or internet web browser. Such constraints may be customized by vehicle or group of vehicles, over the air or by a user using a host. In the case of constraint notifications, the vehicle device receives and processes vehicle data and constraint data and sends this information to the host. In the case of vehicle location, monitoring and/or control, the host receives the solicitation and sends an instruction to the vehicle device, the vehicle device will receive and process the instruction and interact with the vehicle accordingly.

7. A method for remotely managing a vehicle by monitoring, controlling, or receiving notification of constraint violations of the vehicle using vehicle managing code downloaded from a host, the method comprising:
-
receiving a target vehicle identifier for a target vehicle to be managed and a user terminal identifier associated with a user terminal from which the target vehicle will be managed; sending the target vehicle identifier and the user terminal identifier to the host, which queries a database for a status information that corresponds to the target vehicle identifier; receiving the status information from the host at the user terminal; and displaying the status information on the user terminal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A program for remotely managing a vehicle by monitoring, controlling, or receiving notification of constraint violations of the vehicle, the program being recorded on a computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
a target vehicle identifier code section that causes, when executed, a target vehicle identifier to be received; a user terminal identifier receiving code section that causes, when executed, a user terminal identifier to be received, the user terminal identifier being associated with a user terminal from which the target vehicle will be managed; a target information code section that causes, when executed, the sending of the target vehicle identifier and the user terminal identifier to a host, the host being configured to query a database for a status information that corresponds to the target vehicle identifier; a status information code section that causes, when executed, the status information to be received from the host at the user terminal; and a display code section that causes, when executed, the status information to be displayed on said user terminal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
