Telematics application for implementation in conjuction with a satellite broadcast delivery system

摘要

The present invention relates to the field systems and methods that allow for two-way telematics applications, where the term telematics refers to the transfer of data to and from a moving vehicle. The invention also relates to a method of performing location specific applications, comprising: sending a first signal (245) to a satellite digital audio radio system (106,108,209,252) from a vehicle requesting the performance of a location specific application; determining said location of said vehicle; sending a second signal (245) to said satellite digital audio radio system (106,108,209,252) from said vehicle that represents a location of said vehicle at the time of sending said first signal; and sending to said vehicle an answer (254) to said location specific application based on said determining said location of said vehicle. <IMAGE>
