Abstract

A method and device for transmitting, sending and/or receiving information in conjunction with a vehicle. Information used for implementing vehicle-related remote monitoring being transmitted via a mobile radio network. In this connection, the communication takes place on the basis of a standardized protocol that is adapted to the conditions of the mobile radio network, which may be the WAP protocol.

Claims

1-14. -14. (canceled)

15. A method for communicating information associated with a vehicle, the method comprising:

communicating the information, a client being provided on the vehicle side, a server being provided on a mobile radio network side, the communicating including transmitting information by communication between the server and the client via a mobile radio network,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, and the communication is done based on a standardized protocol that is adapted to conditions of the mobile radio network.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the information includes WAP pages that are transmitted as WML pages, and which include references to at least one of scripts and dynamically generated data.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein the information includes scripts which are transmitted as WML scripts and which are used to perform certain actions in client, the client being an on-board client.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the scripts include one of a vehicle-specific diagnostic protocol and a vehicle-specific information.

22. The method of claim 15, wherein the communication is with at least one independent external application that is implemented in the client, which is a mobile client, that occurs via a standardized functional interface between a mobile radio communication element and the external application.

16. A method for communicating information associated with a vehicle, the method comprising:

at least one of sending and receiving the information, a client to communicate with a server via a mobile radio network being provided on the vehicle side,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control;

sending requests to call up and receive information, including commands; and

acquiring data as a function of the information and sending it to the server.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein a sent request is based on a use of a URL address.

17. A method for communicating information in conjunction with a vehicle, the method comprising:

at least one of sending and receiving the information, a server to communicate with an on-board client via a mobile radio network being provided on the network side,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control;

selecting and sending the information based on a received request; and

receiving and processing data of the information to provide results, and returning the results.

23. A device for transmitting information in conjunction with a vehicle, comprising:

a communicating arrangement, including a client on the vehicle side and a server on a network side, which communicate with each other via a mobile radio network,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, the server and the client including an arrangement to communicate based on a standardized protocol that is adapted to conditions of the mobile radio network.

30. The device of claim 23, wherein the standard protocol is a WAP protocol.

24. A device for at least one of sending and receiving information in conjunction with a vehicle, comprising:

a client on the vehicle side that communicates with a server via a mobile radio network, wherein the information is for implementing vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, and wherein the client includes modules to call up and receive the information, including commands, by sending a request, the client further including an acquisition arrangement to acquire data as a function of the information.

25. The device of claim 24, wherein in the client, at least one independent external application is implemented, and a standardized functional interface, which is an EFI interface, via which the communication with the application occurs, is present between a mobile radio communication element and the external application.

26. A device for at least one of sending and receiving information in conjunction with a vehicle, comprising:

a server on a network side to communicate with an on-board client via a mobile radio network, wherein the information is for implementing vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, the server includes a selecting arrangement to select and return the information based on a received request, and the server further includes a receiving arrangement to receive and process the data to provide results, and return the results.

27. A computer program executable by a processor, comprising:

computer program code for communicating information associated with a vehicle by performing the following;

communicating the information, a client being provided on the vehicle side, a server being provided on a mobile radio network side, the communicating including transmitting information by communication between the server and the client via a mobile radio network,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, and the communication is done based on a standardized protocol that is adapted to conditions of the mobile radio network.

28. A computer medium including a computer program executable by a processor, comprising:

computer program code for communicating information associated with a vehicle by performing the following;

communicating the information, a client being provided on the vehicle side, a server being provided on a mobile radio network side, the communicating including transmitting information by communication between the server and the client via a mobile radio network,

wherein the information is used to implement vehicle-related remote monitoring or control, and the communication is done based on a standardized protocol that is adapted to conditions of the mobile radio network.
