System and method for managing data originating from and destined for a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for managing data originating from and going to a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first data communication unit permanently placed onboard the vehicle;
a second data communication unit at a distance from said vehicle; and
at least two devices for transmitting, receiving and storing data originating from and going to said vehicle, the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data being separate and distinct devices from the vehicle, and including;
a data communication module configured to communicate with the first data communication unit and with the second data communication unit,an interface for communicating with a user of said vehicle, anda memory for storing the data,the second data communication unit being a computer terminal connected to a computer network, the Internet, and/or an Intranet, providing access to an interactive computer application, so as to send data originating from the vehicle and to receive said data going to the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data from the vehicle,wherein the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data are configured to synchronize noncustomized data that have become obsolete, by comparing data contained in the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data, in the first data communication unit and in the second data communication unit, said synchronization being performed either by the first data communication unit or by the second data communication unit, or directly between the first data communication unit and the second data communication unit by communication being set up as soon as one of the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data detects the other of the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data in its environment.

Abstract
A system for managing data originating from and destined for a motor vehicle, including: a first data communication unit permanently disposed on-board the vehicle; a second data communication unit disposed at a distance from the vehicle; and at least two devices for transmitting, receiving and storing data originating from and destined for the vehicle, the device communicating data with the first and second communication units, interfacing with a user of the vehicle and including a data storage. The second communication unit can be a computer terminal connected to a computer network, such as the Internet and/or an intranet, providing access to an interactive computer application, such as to transmit data originating from the vehicle and to receive the data destined for the data transmission, reception and storage devices and the vehicle. The storage devices can synchronize non-custom data that have become obsolete.

13. A method for managing data originating from and going to a motor vehicle, by at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data, comprising:
-
providing the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving and storing data originating from and going to said vehicle, the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data being separate and distinct devices from the vehicle; transmitting and receiving data with the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing to and from a first data communication unit permanently placed onboard the vehicle, causing an interactive computer application hosted in a server to be launched automatically by the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data, that can be accessed by a second communication unit of said data, that is at a distance from said vehicle and connected to a computer network; transmitting and receiving said data with said at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data data transmission, reception and storage device to and from the second data communication unit, by the interactive computer application; causing said data to be processed by said interactive computer application; and storing with said at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data the data received from the first and the second data communication unit, wherein the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data are configured to synchronize noncustomized data that have become obsolete, by comparing data contained in the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data, in the first data communication unit and in the second data communication unit, said synchronization being performed either by the first data communication unit or by the second data communication unit, or directly between the first data communication unit and the second data communication unit by communication being set up as soon as one of the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data detects the other of the at least two devices for transmitting, receiving, and storing data in its environment. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
