Abstract
A system comprising one or more transceivers in communication with a vehicle computing system, the one or more transceivers are also in communication with at least one server. The at least one server is configured to receive an email including a subscriber identification and data formatted by a service provider. The at least one server is further configured to parse the email to retrieve the data formatted by the service provider and identify information usable by the vehicle computing system in the retrieved data. The at least one server is further configured to extract the identified information and transmit the information for communication to the vehicle computing system.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a transceiver in communication with a vehicle computing system (VCS);
- a server in communication with the transceiver, the server is configured to:
- receive an email including a subscriber identification and data formatted by a service provider;
- parse the email to retrieve the data formatted by the service provider;
- identify information usable by the VCS in the retrieved data;
- extract the identified information;
- and
- transmit the information for communication to the VCS.
A method comprising:
- receiving an email including a subscriber identification and data formatted by a service provider;
- parsing the email to retrieve the data formatted by the service provider;
- identifying, via a server having at least one processor, information usable by a vehicle computing system in the retrieved data;
- extracting the identified information;
- and
- transmitting the information for communication to the vehicle computing system based on the subscriber identification.
A computer-program product embodied in a non-transitory computer read-able medium that is programmed for transmitting extracted service provider data to a vehicle computing system for processing using one or more applications, the computer-program product comprising instructions for:
- receiving an email including a subscriber identification and data formatted by a service provider;
- parsing the email to retrieve the data formatted by the service provider;
- identifying information usable by the vehicle computing system in the retrieved data;
- extracting the identified information;
- and
- transmitting the information for communication to the vehicle computing system based on the subscriber identification.
