Communication Systems and Methods for Flexible Telematics at a Vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for allocating communications resources for telematics communications, comprising:
- initiating a telematics communication between a device and a service provider via a network;
determining if a network resource allocation for the telematics communication is required based upon information that infers user intent; and
sending a notification of a change in the network resource allocation via a secondary communication channel.

Abstract
A method for providing telematics to a vehicle includes the step of providing a user-removable telematics component with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, a data pump, and a short range wireless personal area network transceiver. The telematics component is communicatively connected to an integrated communication device of the vehicle. The integrated communication device has a short range wireless personal area network transceiver and a memory storing a list that includes at least a phone number of at least one currently paired mobile communication device. At least a portion of the list is periodically received at the data pump, the portion of the list including the phone number of the at least one currently paired mobile communication device. The portion of the list is periodically transmitted out from the telematics component to an off-site telematics provider utilizing a communications path of the data pump.
