Vehicle location services
First Claim
1. A method of improving location services for a user in a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at a backend system a first message from the vehicle based on a determination of a malicious attack associated with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data received by the vehicle;
receiving from a wireless carrier system (WCS) location data;
that indicates the vehicle'"'"'s location and that is determined at the WCS independently of any GNSS data, wherein the WCS determines the location data based on wireless communications with the vehicle;
providing the location data to the vehicle from the backend system in response to the receipt of the first message, whereby the vehicle'"'"'s location can thereby be determined at the vehicle without the use of the GNSS data;
receiving a second message from the vehicle indicating that the malicious attack is no longer occurring; and
in response to receiving the second message, ceasing to provide the location data from the backend system.

Abstract
A vehicle communication system and method of improving location services for a user in a vehicle are described. The method includes the steps of: receiving at a backend system a first message from the vehicle based on a determination of a malicious attack associated with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data received by the vehicle; receiving from a wireless carrier system (WCS) location data associated with a position of the vehicle; providing the location data to the vehicle from the backend system in response to the receipt of the first message; receiving a second message from the vehicle indicating that the malicious attack is no longer viable; and in response to receiving the second message, ceasing to provide the location data from the backend system.

9. A method of improving location services for a user in a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
-
determining at the vehicle a condition indicating a malicious attack associated with a vehicle Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module; in response to determining the condition, sending a location data request message from the vehicle to a backend system; in response to sending the location data request message, receiving location data from the backend system, wherein the location data originated from a wireless carrier system independently of GNSS data; determining vehicle location using the location data received from the backend system; determining that the condition no longer exists; and in response to determining that the condition no longer exists, providing a termination request message to the backend system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
