Abstract
One or more embodiments include a computer-implemented method and system for providing reply reminders to a vehicle occupant in a vehicle. Information indicating one or more unanswered communications from a nomadic telephone device may be wirelessly received at a vehicle computer. Time and/or date information for the unanswered communication may also be received. By automatically monitoring a passage of time, a determination may be made if one or more unanswered communications have been answered within a predefined reply period. If the one or more unanswered communications have not been answered within the predefined reply period, a reply reminder may be generated and presented in a vehicle.

10. A system comprising:
-
at least one vehicle computer configured to; receive information defining one or more unanswered calls from a nomadic telephone device; receive information defining multiple connected incoming calls and/or multiple outgoing calls from the nomadic telephone device; identify one or more call characteristics of the incoming calls and/or outgoing calls; determine if the one or more unanswered calls have been answered; determine when to present a callback reminder based on the one or more call characteristics; determine if reminder presentation is appropriate based on a number of vehicle occupants; and if the one or more unanswered calls have not been answered, presenting the reminder in the vehicle if the number of vehicle occupants is at or below a predetermined threshold and based on the determination of when to present the callback reminder. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
