Abstract
A system and method for programming a new key fob. Some embodiments include a programmable remote transmitter, designed, and programmed to perform single or multiple operations, optionally incorporated into a custom-made base that attaches to a smart phone case or other mobile devices. The remote transmitter is designed and activated via secured programming provided by an application on the user's mobile device, without the intervention of car dealers, locksmiths or using difficult manual processes. The remote transmitter can be attached to smart phones, mobile devices, or other suitable surfaces (e.g., a briefcase or a vehicle's dashboard) for safekeeping and accessibility.
Claims20
A platform for programming one or more new vehicle fobs, comprising:
- each of the one or more new vehicle fobs adapted to:
- wirelessly transmit commands to an onboard computer of a vehicle once an onboard computer's fob interface has been reprogrammed;
- and
- communicate with a user's computing device;
- at least one remote server hosting a service adapted to communicate with the user's computing device, the service adapted to:
- receive vehicle information;
- transmit programming instructions to the user's computing device for reprogramming the onboard computer's fob interface to recognize the one or more new vehicle fobs;
- an application comprising computer executable instructions that when installed on the user's computing device, enables the user's computing device to:
- receive the vehicle information;
- receive the programming instructions for reprogramming the onboard computer's fob interface to recognize the one or more new vehicle fobs;
- and
- transmit the programming instructions to the new vehicle fob and to the onboard computer's fob interface of the vehicle such that the onboard computer's fob interface is reprogrammed to recognize the one or more new vehicle fobs and respond to the commands from the one or more new vehicle fobs.
A method for programming one or more new vehicle fobs, comprising:
- receiving the one or more new vehicle fobs, wherein the one or more new vehicle fobs is adapted to:
- wirelessly transmit commands to an onboard computer of a vehicle once an onboard computer's fob interface has been reprogrammed;
- and
- communicate with a user's computing device;
- transmitting, from the user's computing device to at least one remote server, d vehicle identification information;
- in response to receiving vehicle identification information, transmitting to the user's computing device programming instructions for reprogramming the onboard computer's fob interface to recognize the one or more new vehicle fobs;
- and
- transmitting the programming instructions to the one or more new vehicle fobs and to the onboard computer's fob interface of the vehicle such that the onboard computer's fob interface is reprogrammed to recognize the one or more new vehicle fobs and respond to the commands from the one or more new vehicle fobs.
A platform for programming a new vehicle fob, comprising:
- the new vehicle fob adapted to:
- wirelessly transmit commands to an onboard computer of a vehicle once an onboard computer's fob interface has been reprogrammed;
- and
- communicate with a user's computing device;
- at least one remote server hosting a service adapted to communicate with the user's computing device, the service adapted to:
- receive vehicle identification information;
- transmit programming instructions to the user's computing device for reprogramming the onboard computer's fob interface to recognize the new vehicle fob;
- an application comprising computer executable instructions that when installed on the user's computing device, enables the user's computing device to:
- transmit the vehicle identification information to the service;
- receive the programming instructions for reprogramming the onboard computer's fob interface to recognize the new vehicle fob;
- and
- transmit the programming instructions to the new vehicle fob and to the onboard computer's fob interface of the vehicle such that the onboard computer's fob interface is reprogrammed to recognize the new vehicle fob and respond to the commands from the new vehicle fob.
