HYPER-NUMBER PORTABILITY
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating hypernumber portability on an electronic device having one or more processors and an application executing on the electronic device, the method comprising:
- connecting, by the electronic device, to a wireless network corresponding to a vehicle;
in response to connecting to the wireless network, the application causing the electronic device to transmit, via the wireless network, a request for an identity of the vehicle;
receiving, by the electronic device and via the wireless network, the identity of the vehicle; and
the application causing the electronic device to transmit, to a hypernumber server or a centralized hypernumber database that includes a dynamic phonebook, the identity of the vehicle, wherein transmitting the identity of the vehicle causes the centralized hypernumber database to associate the electronic device with the vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to support hypernumber portability for a hypernumber number corresponding to an electronic device. The electronic device may include an installed application to facilitate hypernumber portability. To this end, when the electronic devices connects to a wireless network, the electronic device may request a vehicle identification. If the wireless network is a vehicle-based network, the electronic device may receive the vehicle identification from an on-board node. When the received vehicle identification indicates that the electronic device has changed locations, the electronic device may communicate with a hypernumber database and/or a hypernumber server to update a dynamic phonebook. As a result, as the electronic device traverses a transport network, the dynamic phonebook may maintain updated location and call routing information for the electronic device.

-
connecting, by the electronic device, to a wireless network corresponding to a vehicle; in response to connecting to the wireless network, the application causing the electronic device to transmit, via the wireless network, a request for an identity of the vehicle; receiving, by the electronic device and via the wireless network, the identity of the vehicle; and the application causing the electronic device to transmit, to a hypernumber server or a centralized hypernumber database that includes a dynamic phonebook, the identity of the vehicle, wherein transmitting the identity of the vehicle causes the centralized hypernumber database to associate the electronic device with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions wherein a portion of the instructions are included in a hypernumber application, and wherein when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the system to; connect to a wireless network corresponding to a vehicle, in response to connecting to the wireless network, transmit, via the wireless network, a request for an identity of the vehicle, receive, via the wireless network, the identity of the vehicle, and transmit, to a hypernumber server or a centralized hypernumber database that includes a dynamic phonebook, the identity of the vehicle, wherein transmitting the identity of the vehicle causes the centralized hypernumber database to associate the electronic device with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18)

15. The system of claim 15, wherein the identity of the vehicle is not transmitted to the centralized hypernumber database unless the electronic device has changed locations.
-
19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, that when executed cause one or more processors to:
-
connect to a wireless network corresponding to a vehicle; in response to connecting to the wireless network, transmit, via the wireless network, a request for an identity of the vehicle; receive, via the wireless network, the identity of the vehicle; and transmit, to a hypernumber server or a centralized hypernumber database that includes a dynamic phonebook, the identity of the vehicle, wherein transmitting the identity of the vehicle causes the centralized hypernumber database to associate the electronic device with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (20)
