Abstract
Multiple communication modules are used in updating settings at a peripheral device. A management server communicates settings updates for the peripheral device indirectly via a telematics device installed at a vehicle. Setting update messages are split into message segments. Access point settings for communication with a communication network by the peripheral device can be updated indirectly via the telematics device. Further setting changes received while a setting update is being applied can be saved as pending update session for subsequent communication.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a management server having a first communication module, a first at least one processor, and a first at least one non-transitory processor readable storage medium storing first processor-executable instructions thereon;
- a telematics device having a second communication module, a third communication module, a second at least one processor, and a second at least one non-transitory processor readable storage medium storing second processor-executable instructions thereon;
- and
- a peripheral device having a fourth communication module, a third at least one processor, and a third at least one non-transitory processor readable storage medium storing third processor-executable instructions thereon, wherein:
- the first processor-executable instructions cause the management server to:
- receive, by the management server, a user input indicative of a setting update for the peripheral device;
- and
- transmit, by the first communication module, a setting update message which specifies at least one setting to apply at the peripheral device based on the user input indicative of a setting update;
- the second processor-executable instructions cause the telematics device to:
- receive, by the third communication module, the setting update message from the management server;
- and
- transmit, by the second communication module, the setting update message;
- and
- the third processor-executable instructions cause the peripheral device to:
- receive, by the fourth communication module, the setting update message from the telematics device;
- and
- apply, by at least one processor of the peripheral device, the at least one setting specified in the setting update message.
