Title: Multi-user motor vehicle telemetric system and method
Inventor: GOODALL COLIN DAVID
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A multi-user vehicle telemetric system comprises vehicle interface units (VIUs), wireless gateways, and one or more central hosts. The VIU in a vehicle collects data over the OBD-II bus and stores the data in the form of DataPoint Records (DPRs) in an on-board non-volatile (e.g. flash) memory. When the VIU  is within wireless range of a gateway, it establishes a WiFi (802.11b) connection with the gateway, and submits stored DPRs to the gateway, to be stored in permanent storage at the gateway. Although the DPRs are stored in permanent storage on the gateway, they are deleted from permanent storage on the gateway after they are successfully uploaded to the central hosts. The gateways are shared, and communicate with the central hosts over a wide area network (WAN). When a gateway has gathered new DPRs from a VIU, it submits these to selected central hosts. The central hosts collect vehicle data for a plurality of users, each user being assigned a central host exclusively, or sharing a central host with other users. Each of the VIUs may be exclusively accessed by a single user or a number of users, and the shared gateways forward DPRs from a VIU only to the central hosts of the users which are authorized to access the VIU.
