Abstract
The present invention is directed toward an automated automotive enrollment system and method for automatically enrolling a vehicle whereafter the vehicle may be registered with one or more subscription-based events based on customer and vehicle data associations. In one more embodiments, a computer implemented method provides for identifying customer and vehicle information in conjunction with registration and subscription event opportunities, and provides for activating an associated subscription set in response to the specific customer and vehicle information so that the vehicle is suitably enrolled.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for on-boarding a vehicle via a vehicle registration network;
- the method comprising:
- providing an interactive interface on display of the vehicle for registering the vehicle;
- receiving vehicle information dataset including vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle and customer information dataset from one or more networked resources;
- verifying availability of the vehicle for registration based on vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle by comparing geolocation of the vehicle to be registered in the vehicle information dataset with geolocation of the vehicle from a database having a vehicle identification number (VIN)-based dataset from a dealership;
- transmitting an initial message to the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to be registered;
- receiving an initial response from the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to the initial message;
- verifying accuracy of the received initial response with an authorized server to complete registration;
- verifying a level of services to be activated for the vehicle when registered;
- and
- activating the verified level of services for the registered vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions for enrolling a vehicle to one or more subscription-based events, which when executed cause a computer to perform operations comprising:
- providing an interactive interface on display of a vehicle for registering the vehicle,
- receiving vehicle information dataset including vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle and customer information dataset from one or more networked resources;
- verifying availability of the vehicle to be registered based on vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle by comparing geolocation of the vehicle to be registered in the vehicle information dataset with geolocation of the vehicle from a database having a vehicle identification number (VIN)-based dataset from a dealership;
- transmitting an initial message to the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to be registered;
- receiving an initial response from the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to the initial message;
- verifying accuracy of the received initial response with an authorized server to complete registration of the vehicle;
- verifying a level of services to be activated for the vehicle when registered;
- and
- activating the verified level of services for the registered vehicle.
A system for use in an automotive sales network for enrolling a vehicle to one or more subscription-based events, comprising:
- an interactive interface engine providing an interactive interface on a display of the vehicle for registering the vehicle and which is capable of receiving and transmitting messages;
- a communications and verification engine for receiving vehicle dataset including vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle and customer information dataset from one or more networked resources;
- verifying availability of the vehicle for registration based on vehicle identification number (VIN) and geolocation of the vehicle by comparing geolocation of the vehicle to be registered in the vehicle information dataset with geolocation of the vehicle from a database having a vehicle identification number (VIN)-based dataset from a dealership;
- a computer-based secure communication system capable of communications with the one or more networked databases, the vehicle and a sales center, wherein the secure communication is further capable of transmitting and receiving messages to and from the vehicle wirelessly, wherein an initial message is transmitted to the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to be registered and an initial response is received from the interactive interface on the display of the available vehicle to the initial message;
- an authorized server for verifying accuracy of the received initial response to complete registration of the vehicle to complete registration of the vehicle;
- an enrollment engine for enrolling the vehicle as a registered vehicle capable of having one or more activated subscription-based events;
- an activation engine for activating one or more subscription-based events in association with a verified level of service to be activated for the vehicle when registered;
- and
- a reporting engine for generating one or more reports in response to data from one or more of the enrollment engine and the activation engine.
