METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING THE CONDITION OF VEHICLE COMPONENTS FROM A NOMADIC WIRELESS DEVICE OR COMPUTER
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for detecting a working condition of one or more vehicle components, the method comprising:
- communicating with a cellular communication device in a vehicle over a telecommunications network;
receiving from the vehicle over the telecommunication network a vehicle component identifier for one or more vehicle components;
receiving from the vehicle over the telecommunications network one or more operation status identifiers for the one or more vehicle components;
determining a location for servicing or purchasing the one or more vehicle components based on the vehicle component identifier;
determining a service status of the one or more vehicle components based on the one or more operation status identifiers;
based on the service status, generating a message including an identification of, and a service or purchase location for, the one or more vehicle components; and
transmitting the at least one message for display at at least one terminal.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting a working condition of one or more vehicle components includes communicating with a cellular communication module in a vehicle over a telecommunications network. A vehicle component characteristic or identifier for the vehicle components is received over the telecommunication network. One or more operation status identifiers for the one or more vehicle components based on data from the vehicle is also received. A location for servicing or purchasing the one or more vehicle components based on the vehicle component characteristic or identifier is determined. A service status of the one or more vehicle components based on the one or more operation status identifiers is also determined. Based on the service status, a message including an identification of the vehicle components and a service or purchase location for the vehicle components is generated. The message is transmitted to a terminal for display.
