Abstract

The invention presents a method for providing activation parameters for a telematic device by receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a telematic device manufacturer at a remote activation server. Additionally, the remote activation server receives at least one mobile vehicle specific attribute from a mobile vehicle manufacturer. At least one data feed attribute is created as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute and the mobile vehicle specific attribute, and is stored within a database in communication with the remote activation server.

Claims

1. A method for providing activation parameters for a telematic device comprising:

receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a telematic device manufacturer at a remote activation server;

receiving at least one mobile vehicle specific attribute from a mobile vehicle source at the remote activation server;

creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute and the mobile vehicle specific attribute; and

storing the data feed attribute in a database in communication with the remote activation server.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the telematic device is capable of over-the-air service provisioning.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising comparing the data feed attribute to a predetermined format.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a optional services provider at the remote activation server.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving at least one telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute from a telematic device peripheral manufacturer at a remote activation server.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

8. The method of claim 5 further comprising creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, and the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute.

9. A system for providing activation parameters for a telematic device comprising:

means for receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a telematic device manufacturer at a remote activation server;

means for receiving at least one mobile vehicle specific attribute from a mobile vehicle manufacturer at the remote activation server;

means for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute and the mobile vehicle specific attribute; and

means for storing the data feed attribute in a database in communication with the remote activation server.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising means for comparing the data feed attribute to a predetermined format.

11. The system of claim 9 further comprising means for receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a optional services provider at the remote activation server.

12. The system of claim 9 further comprising means for receiving at least one telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute from a telematic device peripheral manufacturer at a remote activation server.

13. The system of claim 12 further comprising means for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

14. The system of claim 12 further comprising means for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

15. The system of claim 12 further comprising means for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, and the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute.

16. A computer readable medium storing a computer program for providing activation parameters for a telematic device comprising:

computer readable code for receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a telematic device manufacturer at a remote activation server;

computer readable code for receiving at least one mobile vehicle specific attribute from a mobile vehicle manufacturer at the remote activation server;

computer readable code for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute and the mobile vehicle specific attribute; and

computer readable code for storing the data feed attribute in a database in communication with the remote activation server.

17. The computer program of claim 16 further comprising computer readable code for comparing the data feed attribute to a predetermined format.

18. The computer program of claim 16 further comprising computer readable code for receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a optional services provider at the remote activation server.

19. The computer program of claim 16 further comprising computer readable code for receiving at least one telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute from a telematic device peripheral manufacturer at a remote activation server.

20. The computer program of claim 19 further comprising computer readable code for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

21. The computer program of claim 19 further comprising computer readable code for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute, and the mobile vehicle specific attribute.

22. The computer program of claim 19 further comprising computer readable code for creating at least one data feed attribute as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute, and the telematic device specific peripheral activation attribute.
