Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media deliver a variety of personalized information to a member of an association. In embodiments, information intended for delivery to a member, with or without request by the member, may be delivered via a television transmission, a telematic transmission to a vehicle, or a read-only memory. A password or biometric may be used to authenticate the intended viewer of the delivered information prior to displaying it.
Claims21
A telematic information delivery system, the system comprising:
- at least one subsystem that retrieves information for a person from a database;
- at least one subsystem that conveys the information to a wireless communication server, wherein the communication server broadcasts the information;
- a vehicular subsystem that receives the broadcast information;
- a first security subsystem, coupled to the vehicular subsystem, that receives a first unique input associated with the person, wherein the first unique input authenticates that the person may view the broadcast information;
- a vehicular display subsystem, coupled to the first security subsystem, that displays the information;
- a television subsystem that receives and displays the broadcast information to the person;
- and
- a second security subsystem, coupled to the television subsystem, that receives a second unique input associated with the person, wherein the second unique input authenticates that the person may view the broadcast information.
A method to deliver information to a person in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- using at least one information-retrieving subsystem to retrieve information for the person from a database;
- conveying the information to a wireless communication server;
- transmitting the information from the communication server;
- receiving the transmitted information by a vehicular subsystem;
- receiving a first unique input, associated with the person, into a security subsystem coupled to the vehicular subsystem, wherein the first unique input authenticates that the person may view the information;
- displaying the information to the person on a vehicular display subsystem;
- receiving a second unique input, associated with the person, into a security subsystem coupled to a television subsystem, wherein the second unique input authenticates that the person may view the information;
- and
- displaying the information to the person on the television subsystem.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions to deliver information to a person in a vehicle, said computer-readable instructions comprising instructions for:
- using at least one information-retrieving subsystem to retrieve information for the person from a database;
- conveying the information to a wireless communication server;
- transmitting the information from the communication server;
- receiving the transmitted information by a vehicular subsystem;
- receiving a first unique input, associated with the person, into a security subsystem coupled to the vehicular subsystem, wherein the first unique input authenticates that the person may view the information;
- displaying the information to the person on a vehicular display subsystem;
- receiving a second unique input, associated with the person, into a security subsystem coupled to a television subsystem, wherein the second unique input authenticates that the person may view the information;
- and
- displaying the information to the person on the television subsystem.
