System and method for providing content to vehicles in exchange for vehicle information
First Claim
1. A content handling method, comprising not necessarily in sequence:
- restricting content by requiring at least one transfer of first vehicle information;
obtaining second vehicle information of a vehicle;
transferring the second vehicle information from a vehicle system to a source;
determining at the source whether the transfer of the second vehicle information meets the requirement of the at least one transfer of first vehicle information; and
transferring the content to the vehicle system based on the determination.

Abstract
A system and method for providing content from a source to a vehicle is disclosed. The content is restricted by associating the content with at least one requirement for vehicle information from a vehicle to which the content is provided. When restricted content is requested, a vehicle system obtains vehicle related information from the vehicle. The vehicle information is transferred to the vehicle system from the source, and the restricted content is transferred from the source to the vehicle system. The vehicle system, the source, or both determine whether the vehicle information meets the at least one requirement restricting the content. As long as the requirement for vehicle information is met, processing of the restricted content is allowed.
