Communication systems and methods for flexible telematics at a vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for allocating communications resources for telematics communications, comprising:
- a service provider;
a gateway;
a currently paired mobile communication device;
having at least first and second communications channels through which communication occurs to the service provider;
sensing at least one of speed and acceleration of the mobile communication device based on internally provided data;
detecting changes in at least one the speed and the acceleration of themobile communication device based upon the sensing of the at least one of speed and acceleration by the internally provided data; and
determining that an event notification is to be sent to the service provider based upon the detected change in the at least one of the speed and the acceleration; and
a telematics device having at least a third communications channel through which communication occurs to the service provider, at least one of the telematics device and the currently paired mobile communication device;
determining which of the first, second, and third communications channels is to be used to communicate to the service provider; and
the respective one of the telematics device and the currently paired mobile communication device sending the event notification to the service provider.

Abstract
A system for allocating communications resources for telematics communications includes a service provider, a gateway, a currently paired mobile device having at least first and second communications channels through which communication occurs to the service provider, sensing speed or acceleration of the mobile device based on internal data, detecting changes in speed or acceleration based upon the internal data, and determining that an event notification is to be sent to the service provider based upon the detected change in the speed or acceleration. A telematics device has at least a third communications channel through which communication occurs to the service provider. The telematics device and/or the mobile device determines which of the first, second, and third communications channels is to be used to communicate to the service provider and the respective one of the telematics device and the mobile device sends the event notification to the service provider.
