Claim 7:
8. A system for remotely automatically identifying a configurable vehicle comprising:
an aggregating gateway device configured to receive and collect data from one or more of a plurality of component devices, each of which transmits data, of the configurable vehicle and forward the received data to a receiver, data identifying at least a subset of the component devices, the aggregating gateway device further configured to communicate the data with an external computer operable to communicate with a network, wherein the aggregating gateway device is an aggregating component device;
a data receiver configured to receive, via the network from the aggregating gateway device, the data;
a vehicle identifier coupled with the data receiver and configured to access a database coupled therewith and comprising a plurality of data records, each of which is associated with a previously identified configurable vehicle and storing data identifying a set of component devices of which the associated previously identified configurable vehicle was comprised when it was identified, the vehicle identifier is configured to:
compare at least a subset of the received data with the stored data of one or more of the data records and generating a result based thereon;
determine whether the received data is from a previously identified configurable vehicle based on the result of the comparison, wherein when the subset of the component devices identified by the received data matches a set of component devices identified by the stored data of a data record associated with a particular previously identified configurable vehicle, the configurable vehicle from which the data was received is identified as the particular previously identified configurable vehicle; and
identify the configurable vehicle from which the data was received as a newly identified configurable vehicle when the subset of the component devices identified by the received data does not match at least a subset of a set of component devices identified by the stored data of a data record associated with a particular previously identified configurable vehicle.
