Abstract

A method for network services with a mobile vehicle comprising: initiating from a remote station a first connection session with a device in the mobile vehicle, wherein during the first connection session the device is notified of a pending command; and initiating a second connection session from the device in the mobile vehicle to the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the pending command is transmitted to the device in the mobile vehicle during the second session.

Claims

1. A method for network services with a mobile vehicle comprising:

initiating from a remote station a first connection session with a device in the mobile vehicle, wherein during the first connection session the device is notified of a pending command; and

initiating a second connection session from the device to the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the pending command is transmitted to the device in the mobile vehicle during the second connection session.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first connection session utilizes a first network service protocol and the second connection session utilizes a second network service protocol different from the first network service protocol.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the first network service protocol comprises Session Initiation Protocol.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein, during the first connection session, connection information for the second connection session is transmitted to the device in the mobile vehicle.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the connection information for the second connection session includes a port.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein the second network service protocol is capable of transporting more information than the first network service protocol.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein the second network service protocol includes a text-based information transport function.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the second network service protocol includes Simple Object Access Protocol.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the Simple Object Access Protocol is transported within one of Hypertext Transport Protocol and Hypertext Transport Protocol Secure.

10. A system for providing network services with a mobile vehicle comprising:

a remote station coupled to a network, wherein the remote station initiates a first connection session to the mobile vehicle;

a device within the mobile vehicle, wherein the first connection session is with the device and wherein, during the first connection session, the device is notified of a pending command; and

a processor executing commands for controlling the device, initiating a second connection session from the device to the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the pending command is transmitted to the device within the mobile vehicle during the second connection session.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the first connection session utilizes a first network service protocol and the second connection session utilizes a second network service protocol different from the first network service protocol.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the first network service protocol comprises Session Initiation Protocol.

13. The system of claim 10 wherein, during the first connection session, connection information for the second connection session is transmitted to the device within the mobile vehicle.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the connection information for the second connection session includes a port designation for communication with the remote station.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein the second network service protocol is capable of transporting more information than the first network service protocol.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the second network service protocol includes a text-based information transport function.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the second network service protocol includes Simple Object Access Protocol.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the Simple Object Access Protocol is transported within one of Hypertext Transport Protocol and Hypertext Transport Protocol Secure.

19. A device within a vehicle for communication using network services comprising:

a processor executing commands and communication hardware,

wherein the processor executes control commands for at least first and second connection sessions,

wherein the device receives the first connection session initiated by a remote station, wherein during the first connection session the device is notified of a pending command, and

wherein the device initiates a second connection session from the device to the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the pending command is transmitted to the device within the mobile vehicle during the second connection session.

20. The device of claim 19 wherein, during the first connection session, connection information for the second connection session is transmitted to the device within the mobile vehicle.

21. A method for network services with a mobile vehicle comprising, in the mobile vehicle:

receiving at a device in the mobile vehicle a first connection session initiated by a remote station, wherein during the first connection session the device is notified of a pending command; and

initiating from the device a second connection session with the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the device receives the pending command in the mobile vehicle during the second connection session.

22. The method of claim 21 wherein the device receives the pending command after requesting the pending command from the remote station.
