1. A system for remote diagnostics of crafts, the system comprising:
- a local system with a software interface programmed to operate in the processor of a computer wherein the software interface includes at least one element selected from a group consisting of an operation service center, an operational center, a third party notification system, a device maintenance center, and a telematics center;
a communication system for transferring data using a communication protocol connected to the local system; and
at least a remote craft connected to the communication system, the craft having a remote integrated device with an antenna and at least one of a telematics connected to an operating element,wherein the software interface is programmed to send data to and from the at least one telematics via the remote integrated device using a communication protocol, and wherein the data is processed by the local system.

Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a bidirectional communication platform using short message communication with a telematics device for remotely updating parameters of the device, for obtaining reports and other information regarding the parameters of the device, and to upload control data and specific data to the device. More specifically, a software adaptation layer is added to a telematics device to bidirectionally communicate with receiver and emitter cell phones.

12. A method for the remote maintenance of a craft, the method implemented using a system including a local system with a software interface programmed to operate in the processor of a computer, a communication system for transferring data using a communication protocol connected to the local system, and at least a remote craft connected to the communication system, the craft having a remote integrated device with an antenna and at least one of a telematics connected to an operating element, the method comprising the steps of:
-
conducting an analysis of the information received from the telematics directed to the operating element to which the telematics is connected, the information received via the remote integrated device; and initiating an emergency repair signal if abnormal values are observed by either directing the craft to a location for repairs if no remote user maintenance and repairs using telematics can be initiated. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
