Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamic telematics messaging in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. One embodiment includes a dynamic telematics messaging system includes at least one vehicle telematics device, and a dynamic telematics messaging server system including, at least one processor, and a memory containing a messaging application, wherein the messaging application directs the at least one processor to, obtain a first message data from the at least one vehicle telematics device encoded in a first message format, transcode the first message data into a second message format, process the transcoded message data, and provide the transcoded message data.

Claims

1. A dynamic telematics messaging system comprising:

at least one vehicle telematics device; and

a dynamic telematics messaging server system comprising;

at least one processor; and

a memory containing a messaging application, wherein the messaging application directs the at least one processor to;

obtain a first message data from the at least one vehicle telematics device encoded in a first message format;

transcode the first message data into a second message format;

process the transcoded message data; and

provide the transcoded message data.

2. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 1, wherein transcoding the first message data into a second message format comprises classifying the first message data by identifying the first message format.

3. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 2, wherein classifying the first message data comprises:

locating a header;

searching the first message data for at least one identifier; and

decoding the at least one identifier.

4. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 3, wherein the at least one identifier is selected from the group consisting of a vehicle telematics device serial number, a vehicle identification number, an event code pattern, message data size, a unique accumulator value, and an IP address.

5. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 3, wherein decoding the at least one identifier comprises matching the identifier to a messaging profile.

6. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 2, wherein processing the transcoded message data comprises applying an appropriate processing module to the transcoded message data.

7. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 3, wherein the appropriate module is a sensor data module, and the sensor data module directs the processor to:

determine available sensor data in the transcoded message; and

compile dynamic message data by aggregating the available sensor data into the second message format.

8. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 7, wherein the second message format is a standardized message format;

and aggregating the available sensor data comprises populating standardized fields associated with the available sensor data.

9. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 7, wherein the sensor data module further directs the processor to convert units associated with the available sensor data to a standard units.

10. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 7, wherein the sensor data module further directs the processor to generate secondary data based on the available sensor data.

11. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 3, wherein the appropriate module is a reverse geocoding module, and the reverse geocoding module directs the processor to:

obtain location data from the first message data;

determine the nearest address based on the location data; and

provide the determined address.

12. The dynamic telematics messaging system of claim 11, wherein the location data comprises GPS data.

13. A method for dynamics telematics messaging comprising:

obtaining a first message data from the at least one vehicle telematics device encoded in a first message format;

transcoding the first message data into a second message format;

processing the transcoded message data; and

providing the transcoded message data.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein transcoding the first message data into a second message format comprises classifying the first message data by identifying the first message format.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein classifying the first message data comprises:

locating a header

searching the first message data for at least one identifier; and

decoding the at least one identifier.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least one identifier is selected from the group consisting of a vehicle telematics device serial number, a vehicle identification number, an event code pattern, message data size, a unique accumulator value, and an IP address.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein processing the transcoded message data comprises applying an appropriate processing module to the transcoded message data.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the appropriate module is a sensor data module, and the method further comprises:

determining available sensor data in the transcoded message; and

compiling dynamic message data by aggregating the available sensor data into the second message format.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the second message format is a standardized message format;

and aggregating the available sensor data comprises populating standardized fields associated with the available sensor data.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein the appropriate module is a reverse geocoding module, and the method further comprises:

obtaining location data from the first message data;

determining the nearest address based on the location data; and

providing the determined address.
