Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/127,982, filed Apr. 23, 2002, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/979,199, filed Nov. 20, 2001, which was the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/US00/14692, filed May 26, 2000, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/135,979, filed May 26, 1999.
- The present invention relates to communication of information between electronic devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to the transmission of information between a cellular phone, a transceiver, and a computing device utilizing a Bluetooth communications protocol.
- With the increasing popularity of various personal electronic information and computing devices, there has been an increasing need to conveniently integrate the operation, and more specifically the transfer of information, between one or more of such devices. These electronic devices may include notebook computers, desktop computers, hand-held computing/organizer devices often termed “personal digital assistants” (“PDAs”), cellular phones, pagers, audio systems, display devices, cordless headsets, digital cameras and virtually any other electronic or electromechanical device that uses electronic information for its operation.
- In many environments, such as within an automobile, it would be desirable to be able to communicate voice and/or data in wireless fashion between various subsystems of the vehicle, such as an overhead display subsystem of the vehicle, a cellular phone, notebook computer, PDA, pager or other personal electronic device which is carried on the person of an individual. The ability to transfer information between various subsystems of the vehicle and the user's personal electronic devices, in wireless fashion, would increase the ease and convenience of use of such personal devices when travelling in the vehicle.
- Until the present, transferring information between one or more of these devices has most often required that cabling be connected between the devices. Usually the cabling is “application specific”, meaning that the cabling used to connect, for example, a notebook computer and a hand-held PDA, is specifically designed for only these two components. Thus, the same communications cabling needed for connecting two specific electronic components often can only be used to connect those two components, and not to connect different combinations of other electronic components. Thus, interconnecting different combinations of electronic devices for intercommunication is often possible only with specific and often expensive cabling.
- Communication between more than two electronic devices at one time via cabling presents even greater difficulty. Usually some form of hub or “T” connector, together with a mechanical switch and a suitable plurality of external cables is needed. Thus, the user often has very limited flexibility in linking more than two electronic devices together for communication.
- In certain environments, such as within an automobile, it is often impractical for the user to manually connect and disconnect cabling between two or more electronic devices, especially when the electronic devices are portable devices which the user desires to carry when leaving the vehicle. Additionally, it would be impractical to attempt to connect such personal electronic devices to existing subsystems of a vehicle, such as an overhead display console, with physical cables that would be loose within the vehicle. Such cabling could easily interfere with the driver's convenient operation of the various controls of the vehicle or with the comfort and convenience of other passengers in the vehicle.
- In some instances wireless communications, such as by infrared or radio frequency (RF) signals, have been used to permit communications and information sharing between two electronic devices. However, previously developed implementations of these methods of information transfer have suffered from significant drawbacks. For example, infrared data transmission requires a “line of sight” between the communicating sensors of the two devices. Such a line of sight is often not practical and/or difficult to maintain in certain operating environments, such as while travelling in an automobile. This also constrains the use of portable electronic devices to positions where the sensor on the portable device is in the line of sight of the other device with which the portable device is communicating.
- Radio frequency data communication has traditionally been hampered by the lack of a standard communications protocol for data transfer which permits data to be transmitted between two or more independent electronic devices. A further limitation with RF data transfer systems has been the lack of a low cost, low power RF transceiver able to be inexpensively integrated with compact, portable electronic devices such as notebook computers, cellular telephones, hand-held PDAs, pagers, etc., to enable convenient RF information transfer between two or more of such devices over short distances of up to, for example, about ten meters.
- Still another limitation with traditional methods for transmitting data between electronic devices has been the lack of an “automatic” or “unconscious” connection when the devices are in proximity with one another. By “automatic” or “unconscious” it is meant an immediate communications link which is established between two or more electronic devices as soon as the devices are within a certain range, for example, ten meters, of each other without any command being input to any of the devices by the user. This limitation has up until the present required the user to provide one or more commands to at least one of the electronic devices to begin the process of transferring data between the two devices.
- In view of the foregoing, it would therefore be desirable to provide a wireless communications system adapted for use in automotive applications to permit the wireless exchange of voice and/or data between various portable electronic devices and various electronic subsystems of a motor vehicle. Such a system would preferably include a first electronic component which could be readily integrated with a wide variety of electronic devices such as notebook computers, pagers, PDAs, cellular phones, etc., and a second component which could easily be integrated with various electronic subsystems of a motor vehicle such as an audio system, microphone, in-dash or overhead display system, on-board navigation system, etc. The first and second components would also preferably be extremely compact, lightweight, have low power requirements, and would therefore be very easily integrated into the various portable electronic devices described above, as well as into the various electronic subsystems of the vehicle. The components would preferably be able to automatically establish a wireless communications link as soon as the electronic device incorporating the first component comes into proximity with the vehicle, where the vehicle incorporates the second component. Such a system may obviate the need for any external cables to be attached between the electronic device(s) and the subsystem(s) of the vehicle.
- Another example of an application where such a system would be highly useful is in the manufacturing of an automobile. If pertinent information concerning one or more of the vehicle's components or electronic subsystems could be quickly and automatically accessed and transmitted, via a high speed wireless communications link, to an electronic diagnostic/verification test system stationed along side an assembly line on which the vehicle is moving, then real time verification tests could be performed on the various electronic subsystems of the vehicle as it being manufactured. Such automatically created wireless communications links would significantly enhance a wide range of other applications.
- Yet another example of an application where such a system would be useful is in servicing a vehicle. For example, a high speed wireless communications link could be established between a vehicle and an electronic device located in a service area (e.g., at an auto dealership, a service station, etc.), such that information relating to the operational status of any of a variety of electronic substations of the vehicle would be automatically transmitted to the electronic device. The information could be transmitted upon arrival of the vehicle within the service area and could also be transmitted while other operations are being performed on a vehicle (e.g., oil change, etc.). Transmission of vehicle diagnostic information using a wireless communications link may reduce the amount of time necessary to diagnose problems with a vehicle and increase the efficiency of providing service for a vehicle.
- It would also be desirable to provide a system that allows for communication of information received by a cellular phone to a computing device using a transceiver provided within a vehicle. It would further be desirable to provide a system that establishes an automatic or unconscious communications link between a cellular phone and a transceiver or other device provided within a vehicle. It would further be desirable to provide a system that allows for the communication of facsimile transmissions and electronic mail messages to a computing device from a cellular phone.
- Furthermore, it would be desirable if such a wireless communications system could be provided which does not add appreciably to the overall costs of such portable electronic devices or to the costs of various electronic subsystems of the vehicle. Preferably, the system would provide a manner of transmission that also ensures very secure wireless transmissions to limit the possibility of the devices being susceptible to electronic “eavesdropping” or the data being intercepted by other RF devices operating in the same frequency spectrum.
- In one preferred embodiment, a Bluetooth communications standard is utilized for establishing a wireless communications link between two devices, where each device is equipped with a RF transceiver operating in accordance with the Bluetooth communications standard. This enables two or more devices to be connected via high speed, wireless communications links to permit voice and/or data information to be exchanged between the various devices. The devices communicate on the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band and employ encryption and authentication schemes, in addition to frequency hopping, to provide a high measure of security to the transmission of data between the devices. Advantageously, the wireless communications link is created automatically as soon as the two devices come into proximity with each other.
- In various preferred and exemplary embodiments, the RF transceivers each comprise low power components providing a limited range of up to about 100 meters. Each RF transceiver has a negligible power consumption, as compared with the device with which it is integrated. Each RF transceiver can automatically form ad hoc communications links with other RF transceivers passing within the predetermined transmission range.
- The various preferred and exemplary embodiments enable voice and/or data information to be transmitted between a wide variety of devices without any command or intervention by the user.

- The various preferred embodiments are also ideally suited to establishing wireless communications links for a wide variety of other home, business, and commercial applications. A wide variety of electronic devices can thus be networked together for information sharing.
- A more specific exemplary embodiment relates to a system communicating information. The system includes a transceiver provided within a vehicle and configured for wireless communication with a cellular phone and with a portable computing device. The wireless communication between the transceiver and the cellular phone utilizes a Bluetooth communications protocol.

The communications system further includes a computing device in wireless communication with the transceiver. Information received by the cellular phone is communicated to the transceiver and at least a portion of the information is communicated from the transceiver to the computing device.
- A further exemplary embodiment relates to a communications system for a vehicle.

- A further exemplary embodiment relates to a method of transferring information to a computing device. The method includes receiving information at a transceiver provided in a vehicle.

In one embodiment a transceiver provided within a vehicle is configured for wireless communication with a cellular phone and with a portable computing device. The wireless communication between the transceiver and the cellular phone utilizes a Bluetooth communications protocol. The wireless communications link is established automatically when the devices come within a predetermined proximity to each other.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , awireless communications system 10 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is illustrated. The various preferred and exemplary embodiments are broadly directed to awireless communications system 10 in which at least one pair ofRF transceivers RF transceiver transceivers RF transceivers - The Bluetooth communications standard was established for creating small form factor, low-cost, short range RF links between mobile telephones, notebook computers, PDAs and other portable electronic devices. It is the result of a joint effort between several major commercial organizations to develop a RF communications standard for creating secure, wireless communications links between portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, PDAs, computers and other electronic devices. The Bluetooth communications standard is presently an “open” standard that enables short range, secure, RF transmission of voice and/or data information between such portable electronic devices to thus eliminate the need for physical cables for interconnecting the devices. Its implementation is based on a high performance, but low cost, integrated RF transceiver chip set. The Bluetooth standard further provides the potential for automatic and rapid “ad hoc” wireless connections when two or more devices equipped with RF transceivers operating in accordance with the Bluetooth standard come into proximity with each other.
- The Bluetooth standard makes use of the free, universal 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band and a frequency hopping scheme using 1600 hops/second. Encryption and authentication are built into the Bluetooth standard along with an automatic “output power adaption” feature that automatically reduces the output power of the RF transceiver to only (and exactly) that amount of power which is needed to accomplish the data transmission.
- The Bluetooth standard specifies a minimum RF receiver sensitivity of −70 dBm and the nominal output power is specified as 0 dBm (i.e., 1 mW), which eliminates the need for an off-chip power amplifier. With a 0 dBm transmit power, the typical range for the RF transceiver is up to about 10 meters. The range can be extended to about 100 meters by augmenting the RF transceiver chip set with an external power amplifier to increase the transmit power to a maximum of 20 dBm. The maximum data transfer rate between two Bluetooth transceivers is slightly under 1 Mbits/sec. The data rate for a voice channel is 64 kbits/sec (GSM-13 kbits/sec). A suitable RF transceiver for use with the Bluetooth standard can be formed relatively inexpensively as a single CMOS integrated chip. As such, the RF transceiver can be manufactured sufficiently small such that it can be readily incorporated into virtually all portable electronic devices without adding appreciably to the size, cost, weight and power consumption of such devices. Additional information on the Bluetooth standard can be obtained at URL address www.bluetooth.com.
- Advantageously, the Bluetooth standard presently supports wireless communications networks termed “piconets” of between two to eight devices actively communicating with each other. Additional devices can be “parked” and accessed as needed. Within a piconet, one of the devices acts as the “master” device, which determines the frequency hopping pattern, packet timing, and which coordinates transmissions to the other “slave” devices. The slave devices can also be members of more than one piconet at a time, thus forming an ad hoc arrangement of multiple piconets termed a “scatternet”. Thus, networked communication of notebook computers, PDAs, mobile phones, and other devices are provided for with the Bluetooth standard.
- The SWAP-CA specification is another wireless communications standard that potentially could be employed by the
RF transceivers - Accordingly, while the Bluetooth or SWAP-CA specifications may be referenced throughout the discussion of the various preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the claims appended hereto should be not be limited to the use of one or the other of these specifications, or necessarily to any specific communications specification.
- In
FIG. 1 , oneRF transceiver 10 a is integrated into a firstelectronic device 12 while theother RF transceiver 10 b is disposed within amotor vehicle 14. Theelectronic device 12 may comprise a notebook computer, a hand-held PDA, a cellular phone, a pager, or any other portable electronic component. Thefirst RF transceiver 10 a includes anantenna 16 for enabling two way communications with theRF transceiver 10 a. Likewise, thesecond RF transceiver 10 b also includes itsown antenna 18 for enabling two way communications. Thevehicle 14 typically includes anaudio system 20 and adisplay system 22. Thedisplay system 22 may be mounted-in a dashboard or instrument panel, an overhead console, a floor mounted console, a visor, a rear view mirror or at a wide variety of other locations inside thevehicle 14. Thedisplay 22 may comprise a small cathode ray tube (“CRT”), a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) or various other forms of displays which are easily visible in daytime as well as nighttime driving conditions. - Each of the
RF transceivers RF transceivers transceivers - In
FIG. 1 , when theelectronic device 12 comes into the vicinity of thevehicle 14, a high speed, automatic, wireless data link is created between the twoRF transceivers transceiver RF transceiver - Once the wireless communications link is established between the two
RF transceivers electronic device 12 can be transmitted totransceiver 10 b and then output to the vehicle'saudio system 20 and/or to thedisplay system 22. Thus, the user is not required to type in or otherwise give any commands to theelectronic device 12 before the wireless communications link is established. Once established, the communications link enables information from theelectronic device 12 to be automatically transmitted viaRF transceiver 10 a to the receivingRF transceiver 10 b. In this manner, a wide variety of useful information such as personal calendars, e-mail messages, telephone directories, and virtually any other form of text information can be displayed on the vehicle'sdisplay system 22. If an external “text-to-speech” module is incorporated for operation with thesecond RF transceiver 10 b, then text information can be converted into audio before being transmitted to the vehicle'saudio system 20 for playback. Thus, if theelectronic device 12 comprises a notebook computer with a CD player, any information available on the CD can potentially be converted to speech via the external text-to-speech module and the vehicle'saudio system 20. Thus, a wide variety of CD-based or Internet-based audio material such as books, educational materials, etc. could be played over the vehicle'saudio system 20 while the user is in thevehicle 14. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , another implementation of awireless communications system 10 is shown. This implementation is used to facilitate performing diagnostics on amotor vehicle 14 via theelectronic device 12. In this example, the electronic device may comprise a notebook computer or other electronic instrument loaded with diagnostic software specifically suited to the vehicle being tested. Thefirst RF transceiver 10 a is integrated into theelectronic device 12 and thesecond RF transceiver 10 b is integrated for communications with avehicle interface system 24. Thevehicle interface system 24 is in turn coupled for two way communications via adata bus 26 with various electronic subsystems of thevehicle 14 such as the vehicle's Electronic Control Module (ECM) 28, afuel sensor 30, anexhaust sensor 32, awheel speed sensor 34 or virtually any other form of sensor which provides an electronic output signal related to its operation. Other nonexclusive examples of the types of sensors that may provide an electronic output signal include oxygen sensors, fluid temperature sensors (e.g., engine coolant, fuel, oil), exhaust and emission sensors, oil pressure sensors, transmission sensors, engine timing sensors, or any other type of sensor that may provide signals to an on-board diagnostic module (e.g., OBD II, etc.) or other vehicle system. Further, any of a variety of conditions of the vehicle electronic subsystems may be monitored by such sensors (e.g., high voltage, low voltage, temperature, pressure, malfunctions, and a variety of others), and signals representative of any of the variety of functions and operations may be output by the sensors. - The wireless data link may be created automatically as soon as the
vehicle 14 enters a service bay or other designated service area. Thefirst RF transceiver 10 a automatically begins transmitting diagnostics information stored in an associated memory (not shown) to thesecond RF transceiver 10 b to begin the diagnostics testing. Information is transmitted back to thefirst transceiver 10 a by thesecond transceiver 10 b as information is received from thevehicle interface 24 from each of the sensors/components 28-34 under test. This information is then used by service personnel to determine the operational status of each of the sensors/components 28-34 on-board thevehicle 14. While theelectronic device 12 has been described as a notebook computer, it will also be appreciated that thedevice 12 could just as readily comprise a personal computer or other form of computer adapted to run the diagnostics software. - It will be appreciated that the automatic wireless communications link enables various diagnostics to be performed on a motor vehicle even while other operations, for example, an oil change, are being performed simultaneously with the running of the diagnostics. This implementation can significantly reduce the manpower required to perform various service-related operations on a motor vehicle as well as decrease the length of time needed to perform a full service checkup/tune-up on a vehicle when the vehicle is brought in for routine maintenance such as oil changes, wheel alignments, air and fuel filter changes, wheel balancing, etc.
- Referring now to
FIG. 3 , an implementation of thewireless communications system 10 is shown being used in the assembly process of a motor vehicle. In this implementation, thefirst RF transceiver 10 a of thesystem 10 is integrated with an assembly line computer/monitoring system 36. Each one of a plurality of vehicles 14 1-14 n, traveling onassembly line conveyor 38 includes amodule 40 having thesecond RF transceiver 10 b integrated therewith. Themodule 40 can be programmed to include information regarding the specific options that its associatedvehicle 14 is to include. Such options could comprise the type of interior, audio system options, interior trim package, powertrain options or any other equipment that will be needed to complete the manufacture of thatparticular vehicle 14. - As each vehicle 14 1-14 n, moves along the
assembly line conveyor 38 into proximity with the computer/monitoring system 36, an automatic wireless communications link is established between eachRF transceiver 10 b, one at a time, and theRF transceiver 10 a of thecomputer monitoring system 36. Information regarding the options that each particular vehicle 14 1-14 n, is then transmitted via the wireless communications link to the computer/monitoring system 36, which in turn is transmitted over acommunications link 42 to aninventory management computer 44. It will be appreciated that the communications link 42 could be a wire-based link or could even be formed by an additional pair of RF transceivers to form a second wireless link. The only limitation here would be the distance to theinventory computer system 44 from the assembly/monitoring computer system 36. - The above-described implementation enables the
wireless communications system 10 to thus be used to synchronize the supply of needed equipment and materials to each vehicle 14 1-14 n moving on theassembly line conveyor 38 to ensure that exactly the proper equipment is provided for each vehicle. - It will also be appreciated that the implementations described in connection with
FIGS. 2 and 3 could be combined to enable various electronic modules and subsystems of the vehicle to be tested immediately as the vehicle moves along theassembly line conveyor 38. This feature would enable a vehicle diagnostics computer located adjacent to theassembly line conveyor 38 to run tests on the vehicle's modules and electronic subsystems to detect defective components before the vehicle proceeds to the next step of the assembly process. This feature would save the significant costs associated with manually removing various electronic modules and components from the vehicle for testing and repair when a defective component is detected after assembly of the vehicle is complete. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , yet another implementation of thewireless communications system 10 is illustrated. This implementation is in connection with a retail transaction in which a drive-throughmenu board 46 has afirst RF transceiver 10 a of thewireless communications system 10, in addition to a securetransaction RF transceiver 48, integrated therewith. The vehicle includes thesecond RF transceiver 10 b in addition to asecure transaction transceiver 50. As thevehicle 14 approaches the drive-throughmenu board 46, theRF transceivers transceivers vehicle 14. Menu information is then automatically downloaded over the high-speed communications link between theRF transceivers system control device 50. Thesystem control device 50 acts as an interface to transmit the information to the vehicle'sdisplay system 22 and/or the vehicle'saudio system 20 for playback. If asuitable microphone 58 is provided in thevehicle 14, authorization for the transaction may be provided verbally by the driver and transmitted via the communications link between thesecure transaction transceivers menu board 46. - It will be appreciated that the above-described implementation could be modified to enable drive-through banking transactions, drive-through prescription ordering-or a wide variety of other retail transactions made from within a vehicle without the need for the driver to leave the
vehicle 14 to effect the transaction. Other applications could include toll collecting, fuel purchases at service stations and other transactions that could potentially be made more conveniently and more quickly by the use of thewireless communications system 10. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , an implementation involving a programmablekey fob 60 is illustrated for setting and adjusting various components of thevehicle 14. Thekey fob 60 is shown in greater detail inFIG. 5A and includes thefirst RF transceiver 10 a of thewireless communications system 10, theantenna 16, asuitable battery 62 for providing power and asuitable memory 64. Thesecond RF transceiver 10 b of thesystem 10 is integrated into the vehicle electronics to communicate with thevehicle bus interface 24 via thevehicle bus 26, and further with various modules 66-72 for controlling various components of thevehicle 14. - As the user approaches the
vehicle 14 when carrying thekey fob 60, a high speed, wireless communications link is automatically established between the twoRF transceivers memory 64 of thekey fob 60 is then transmitted to thesecond transceiver 10 b and used to control various modules of thevehicle 14 in accordance with preprogrammed settings by the user. Thus, information relating to the precise position of a power seat, volume and channel information of theradio 72, climate control information for theHVAC 70, rearview mirror or external mirror position information, etc., can all be stored in thememory 64 and automatically transmitted to thevehicle 14 as the user approaches the vehicle. The seats of thevehicle 14, climate control settings, radio channel and volume settings, mirror positions, etc. can all be automatically adjusted by suitable vehicle electronics even before the user enters thevehicle 14. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , another implementation of thewireless communications system 10 using the programmablekey fob 60 is illustrated. In this implementation thekey fob 60 is used to interrogate aPC 74 at the user's place of business. Selected files stored on the hard drive or in random access memory (RAM) of thePC 74 can be transmitted via a wireless communications link established between theRF transceiver 10 a of thekey fob 60 and thesecond RF transceiver 10 b, which is integrated with thework PC 74. The information is stored in the memory of thekey fob 60 before the user leaves his/her place of business. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , as the user arrives at his/her home, ahome PC 76 is automatically linked with thekey fob 60 by theRF transceiver 10 a of thekey fob 60 and asecond RF transceiver 10 b integrated with thehome PC 76. The automatically created wireless communications link is used to transmit information stored in the memory 64 (FIG. 5 a) of thekey fob 60 to the individual'shome PC 76. - Referring now to
FIG. 8 , yet another implementation of awireless communications system 10 is shown in which acellular phone 78 is linked with a proprietary speech recording/playback system 80 available commercially from the assignee of the present application and marketed under the trademark “Travelnote®”. The Travelnote® system enables the driver or other vehicle occupant to speak directly into amicrophone 82 to record any notes or other information which the user would otherwise write down on paper, but which cannot be accomplished easily while driving thevehicle 14. The notes or other information can be played back from the Travelnote® recording/playback system 80 over aspeaker 84 once the user reaches his/her destination and prior to exiting thevehicle 14. The Travelnote® recording/playback system 80 is described in detail in 5,810,420, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. - In this implementation, the
RF transceiver 10 a is integrated with thecellular phone 78 and thesecond RF transceiver 10 b is integrated with the Travelnote® recording/playback system 80. The Travelnote® recording/playback system 80 may be located within a visor orrear view mirror 86. Alternatively, it may be located on the dashboard, overhead console, or any other convenient location within thevehicle 14. Thewireless communications system 10 provides a high-speed, wireless communications link between thecellular phone 78 and the Travelnote® recording/playback system 80 to enable “hands free” use of thecellular phone 78. Thus, the user need not hold thecellular phone 78 in one hand while driving; thephone 78 can be placed on a console orseat 82 adjacent to the user while the user carries on a hands-free conversation via themicrophone 82 andspeaker 84 of the Travelnote® playback/recording system 80. - A further advantage is that the wireless communications link between the
RF transceivers cellular phone 78 comes into proximity with thesecond RF transceiver 10 b within thevehicle 14. Thus, the user need only dial a number from thecellular phone 78 to place a call and the conversation thereafter can be conducted via theTravelnote® system 80. Alternatively, a call could even be placed via commands and numbers spoken into themicrophone 82 and transmitted via the wireless communications link to thecellular phone 78. Useful information received by thecellular phone 78 could even be displayed on a small portion of a rearview mirror. Such information could include auxiliary phone annunciators, a “low battery” warning indicating a low battery power condition for thecellular phone 78 or other incoming call information received via thephone 78. - A modification of this implementation involves modifying the above-described Travelnote® system to send and/or receive digital information such that the Travelnote® system can be used to pass digital information to and from a computing device 79 such as a hand-held computing device or a laptop computer. With this capability, the Travelnote® system could be used to transmit information received by a facsimile transmission or email communications to the computing device. This digital information would be first received by the user's
cellular phone 78. Preferably, an infrared communications link 79 a is also established by suitable hardware between thecellular phone 78 and the computing device 79. The infrared link is used to transmit digital information between the computing device 79 and thecellular phone 78. Preferably, aninfrared link 79 b is also established between the Travelnote® system and the computing device 79 so that digital information can just as easily be transmitted directly between the computing device 79 and the Travelnote® system. Messages sent to the Travelnote® system could be stored therein for future downloading to another computer. The computing device 79 could also send stored phone numbers stored to the Travelnote® system to simplify the dialing of phone numbers. - As will be appreciated, other implementations of the various exemplary embodiments could be made in connection with a home and/or vehicle. For example,
RF transceiver 10 a could be disposed in a cellular phone whileRF transceiver 10 b is disposed in a Homelink® system which is proprietary to the assignee of the present application. The Homelink® system can be programmed to interface with, for example, a garage door opener to open the garage door when a control unit of the Homelink® system is actuated by a user. By incorporatingRF transceiver 10 b into the Homelink® system, the user could enter a predetermined code in the cellular phone which is received by the Homelink® system and which causes the Homelink® system to open the garage door. In this manner, if an individual was not in his/her car or vehicle as he/she approached their house, the garage door could still be easily opened without the user having the garage door opener unit. - In another implementation, one or
more RF transceivers 10 a are used in connection with various devices in a home. Asecond RF transceiver 10 b is placed in a garage. Thesecond transducer 10 b serves as a portal from the user's car to those devices in the home that are equipped withRF transceivers 10 a. The garage-basedRF transceiver 10 b is able to interface and interact with those devices incorporating aRF transceiver 10 a, such as a home PC, appliances, etc. - In still another implementation, one
RF transceiver 10 a could be located within a vehicle while asecond RF transceiver 10 b could be associated with a computer located either at a vehicle dealership or at a home. When a vehicle is manufactured, all parts could be tagged in the plant so it is known which specific parts are installed on the vehicle. This information could be stored in a database stored in a memory device in the car. In addition, warranty information for those parts, as well as for the car as a whole, could be stored in this database. - When the vehicle is in proximity to the
first RF transceiver 10 a while the vehicle is being serviced at a dealership, service personnel could easily access information stored in the memory device via the wireless link betweenRF transceivers - In yet another implementation similar to that described immediately above, only the Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) is delivered to the computer from the
RF transceiver 10 b located in the vehicle. The VIN is then used by the computer to access a database which is remote from the vehicle to obtain warranty and part information. It will be appreciated that this information could also be accessed through a web site of the manufacturer of the vehicle. - In still another variation of the above-described implementation, if a cellular telephone is located in the vehicle, and the telephone is equipped with an
RF transceiver 10 b, then any vehicle malfunctions could be reported to the vehicle manufacturer or dealer via a wireless link established between the computer and the cellular phone. This information can be used to facilitate repair of the vehicle or the tracking of warranty information pertaining to the vehicle. - The computer could also be used to personalize the vehicle operation. For example, the vehicle owner could access a manufacturer's website to select the desired operating parameters for the vehicle. These parameters could include selecting a 12 hour or 24 hour clock time display, establishing station pre-selects for the vehicle radio operation, selecting parameters related to the operation of the vehicle lights, enabling voice interactive messages generated by the vehicle, or a variety of other vehicle operating parameters. Once the operating parameters are selected by the vehicle owner, the website could cause the owner's home computer (which is equipped with
RF transceiver 10 a) to generate an RF signal that is sensed by the vehicle causing the parameters to be stored in a memory device in the vehicle. Alternatively, a compact disc could be provided to the vehicle owner upon purchase of the vehicle, which can be used with the individual's home computer to personalize the vehicle's functions. This information can then be transferred from the home computer to the vehicle via a wireless link between the twoRF transceivers - Referring to
FIG. 9 , another implementation of thewireless communications system 10 is shown in which thesystem 10 includes thefirst RF transceiver 10 a in communication with auser interface circuit 88. Theuser interface circuit 88 is in turn linked for communication via asuitable bus 90 with adisplay system 22 and/or anaudio system 20 of thevehicle 14. Thesecond RF transceiver 10 b is integrated with ahome PC 92. Thehome PC 92 is linked to the Internet. - The user uses the
home PC 92 to retrieve information from the Internet (e.g., audio books, news, weather, music, etc.) at a convenient time. Once this information is received by thehome PC 92 it is transmitted via the high-speed wireless communications link between the twoRF transceivers vehicle 14 will need to be parked in the proximate vicinity of the home PC 92 (i.e., within about 100 meters of the home PC 92). In this regard it will also be appreciated that a suitable amount of random access memory (RAM) is provided in association with thedisplay 22 and/or thevehicle audio system 20 for storing the information. The user can then display or play back the information while traveling in thevehicle 14 at the user's convenience. If the data is audio data, then it is played back through thevehicle audio system 20. Even text information which is received may be converted to audio information if a suitable text-to-speech conversion circuit is provided. The information stored could comprise traffic information, daily calendar reminders, appointments or events, e-mail messages, etc., in addition to the book, news, weather and music information mentioned above. - Referring to
FIG. 10 , thewireless communications system 10 can also be used to enable information relating to various “points of interest” along a route being traveled by the user. This information could also be “personalized” information for the user from an Internet-based information service. - In this implementation, a
cellular phone 98 is used by the user to make a connection with awireless service organization 96. Thecellular phone 98 includes thefirst RF transceiver 10 a while thevehicle 14 includes thesecond RF transceiver 10 b. A Global Positioning System (“GPS”)device 100 on-board thevehicle 14 can be used to transmit, latitude/longitude information to thecellular phone 98 over the wireless communications link established between the twoRF transceivers cellular phone 98 in turn can be used to link this information back to thewireless service organization 96. Thewireless service organization 96 then transmits information on various points of interest near the vehicle's latitude and longitude coordinates back to thecellular phone 98, which in turn transmits this information via a wireless, high speed data link from itsRF transceiver 10 a to theRF transceiver 10 b. The information is then displayed on the vehicle'sdisplay 22 and/or played over the vehicle'saudio system 20. The point of interest information can include a wide variety of useful information such as restaurants, shopping, service stations, hospitals and other establishments in the vicinity of the vehicle. The information could be displayed in a menu format in which the user is able to select establishments and is provided with directions on thedisplay system 22 to each establishment selected. Additional information concerning traffic conditions, road construction, etc., could also be provided. - Referring to
FIG. 11 , another implementation of thewireless communications system 10 is illustrated where “Push” technology is used to download information from the Internet automatically to the user traveling in thevehicle 14. Acellular phone 98 having thefirst RF transceiver 10 a of thewireless communications system 10 establishes an automatic, high-speed wireless communications link with thesecond RF transceiver 10 b located in thevehicle 14. Thetransceiver 10 b is in communication with the vehicle'sdisplay system 22 and/or the vehicle'saudio system 20. - The
wireless service organization 96 is linked to the Internet and to thecellular phone 98. The user can use his/her home PC 92 (or alternatively a business PC) to create a “personalized” website through one of the presently available Internet-based news/search companies so that various personalized information such as selected financial information (i.e., stock price information), world or local news, traffic information along a specified route of travel, phone directory or personal calendar information, weather information, e-mail, etc., can be downloaded by thewireless service organization 96 and provided to thecellular phone 98. The RF transceivers 10 a and 10 b can then be used to transmit the information to the vehicle'sdisplay system 22 oraudio system 20. - Referring to
FIG. 12 , a variation of the implementation shown inFIG. 11 is illustrated in which existing Push technology is used to download personalized information from an Internet based information service to a suitable electronic system located at or closely adjacent to agasoline pump 100, or at a kiosk including thegasoline pump 100, when theusers vehicle 14 comes within the vicinity of thegasoline pump 100. In this implementation, thegasoline pump 100 includes theelectronic device 12 which includes theRF transceiver 10 b, and thevehicle 14 includes theRF transceiver 10 a. TheRF transceiver 10 a is in communication with the vehicle'sdisplay 22 and/oraudio system 20. When thevehicle 14 comes into reasonably close proximity (e.g., within 10 meters of the gasoline pump 100), theRF transceiver 10 a automatically establishes a high speed, wireless communications link with theRF transceiver 10 b of theelectronic device 12. TheRF transceiver 10 a transmits appropriate identifying information to theRF transceiver 10 b via the automatically established wireless communications link. This information is then linked to the Internet-based information service. Information is then transmitted back to theelectronic system 12 associated with thegasoline pump 100. The information is then transmitted over the wireless communications link to theRF transceiver 10 a located in thevehicle 14. It will be appreciated that this personalized information could also be obtained from the Internet by establishing wireless communications links with electronic devices located on road signs, freeway overpasses, at traffic lights and other points along a road or highway. - Referring to
FIG. 13 , another implementation somewhat similar to that described in connection withFIG. 12 is provided. The implementation ofFIG. 13 enables awireless communications system 10 to provide a subset of map information needed for assisting a user of thevehicle 14 in traveling to a designated destination. In this implementation oneRF transceiver 10 a is located in thevehicle 14 and theother RF transceiver 10 b is integrated with aPC 92, which may be located at the user's home or place of business. Theuser 14 can enter a command from either thePC 92 or from a suitable keyboard or control panel within thevehicle 14, or even from a cellular phone carried within thevehicle 14 and linked by two RF transceivers, requesting directions for traveling to a particular destination. This request is transmitted to an Internet-based information organization where it is thereafter downloaded onto thePC 92. The information is then transmitted via the high-speed wireless communications link created by theRF transceivers vehicle 14 where it may be displayed on the vehicle'sdisplay 22 or possibly played on the vehicle'saudio system 20. Since only a limited amount of information pertaining to the specific directions requested is transmitted back to thevehicle 14, this significantly reduces the amount of memory required to be located on-board thevehicle 14. It will be appreciated that this map information could just as easily be provided by linking to an electronic subsystem associated with the gasoline pump 100 (FIG. 12 ) or at some other location if the user becomes lost and suddenly requires directions to a different destination. - Referring now to
FIG. 14 , another implementation of thewireless communications system 10 is provided in which information from a business or a company is “pushed” into acompany vehicle 14 from a corporate message center orcorporate PC 102. The information from the corporate message center orPC 102 is transmitted via the Internet to thewireless service organization 96. A communications link is established between thewireless service organization 96 and the user'scellular phone 98. Thecellular phone 98 includes one RF transceiver and the vehicle 104 includes thesecond RF transceiver 10 b. Again, theRF transceiver 10 b is in communication with the vehicle'sdisplay 22 and/or the vehicle'saudio system 20. Important business information received by thecellphone 98 can then be downloaded via the wireless communications link created by theRF transceivers vehicle 14 is expected to pass in proximity to during use. - It will be appreciated that an extremely large variety of useful implementations of the wireless communications system may be created. While the Bluetooth communications standard or the SWAP-CA standard may be used with the
RF transceivers RF transceivers - Those skilled in the art can now appreciate from the foregoing description that the broad teachings of the present disclosure can be implemented in a variety of forms. Therefore, while this invention has been described in connection with particular examples thereof, the true scope of the claims appended hereto should not be so limited since other modifications will become apparent to the skilled practitioner upon a study of the drawings and the present specification.
