First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of maintaining communications with a vehicle in the presence of jamming, the method comprising:
- detecting that jamming of communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle is occuring;
responsive to detecting the jamming, transmitting an indication from the vehicle to a base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring;
subsequently conducting communications between a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel.

Abstract
Jamming is detected as occurring to communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle. Responsive to detecting the jamming, an indication is transmitted from the vehicle to a base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring. Communications are subsequently conducted between the base station and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel.

10. An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle, comprising:
-
an interface with an input and an output; a controller coupled to the interface, the controller being configured to receive a signal at the input of the interface, the signal indicating that jamming of communications at the vehicle is occurring, the controller further configured to responsive to the signal, transmit an indication at the output of the interface to a base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring, the controller configured to subsequently conduct communications with a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server at the output of the interface on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Memory comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:
-
detect that jamming of communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle is occurring; responsive to detecting the jamming, transmit an indication from the vehicle to a base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring; subsequently conduct communications between a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
