METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING A VEHICLE'S ENERGY SOURCE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for remotely obtaining information about an energy source of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving at one or more computing devices remote from a vehicle information identifying one or more vehicles and one or more drivers of the one or more vehicles;
transmitting instructions from the one or more remote computing devices requesting information from the one or more identified vehicles about a status of an energy source for the identified vehicle;
receiving the status information at the one or more remote computing devices;
based on the energy source status information and the information identifying the one or more drivers, calculating at the one or more remote computing devices a vehicle energy source status with respect to one or more attributes of the vehicle drivers; and
displaying the vehicle energy source status at the one or more devices.

Abstract
One or more embodiments may include a method for remotely obtaining information about an energy source of a vehicle. Information identifying one or more vehicles and one or more drivers of the vehicles may be received at one or more computing devices remote from a vehicle. Instructions from the one or more remote computing devices may be transmitted requesting information from the identified vehicle(s) about a status of an energy source for the identified vehicle(s). The status information may be received at the remote computing device(s). Based on the energy source status information and the driver identifying information, a vehicle energy source status with respect to one or more attributes of the vehicle drivers may be calculated. Additionally, the vehicle energy source status may be displayed at the one or more devices.
