Patent ID: 8392544

Claim:
A method for querying data using a data call between a service facility and a communications module (KM) over a communications network, comprising: receiving a data query from the service facility via the communications network at a first interface unit (CSD) of the communications module (KM); forwarding the data query from the first interface unit (CSD) of the communications module (KM) to a further interface unit (AT) of the communications module (KM); interpreting the data query in the further interface unit (AT) to generate an interpretation of the data query; sending the interpretation of the data query from the further interface unit (AT) to an evaluation unit (AE) of the communications module (KM); evaluating the interpretation of the data query in the evaluation unit (AE); and sending a response to the data query from the evaluation unit (AE) to the service facility via the first interface unit (CSD), the response based substantially on the evaluated interpretation of the data query.
