Description

VEHICLE TO VEHICLE INTERNET COMMUNICATION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to internet communication. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for internet communication from a motor vehicle. Q^ ht SQH.
2. Discussion
Electronic mail or e-mail has become a common form of modern communication. Many people in business, government, and education now use e-mail more than the telephone to communicate with their colleagues. In their private lives, many people use e-mail as an inexpensive but quick method of keeping in touch with friends and
family throughout the world.
Computers having internet access are very commonly found in the work place
and at home. Many motor vehicle manufacturers and motor vehicle suppliers are
planning on providing on- oard computers capable of accessing the internet. Such onboard computers would allow the occupants of the' ehicle to send e-mail messages, track weather and traffic conditions, check their stock' portfolios, and the like.
E-mail addresses conventionally include a user name, a domain name, and a top level domain name. For example, an e-mail address may be Λjohnsmith@***.com. The user name is "johnsmith" which is typically chosen by the user himself or herself. The *** generally indicates a company name, service name or other unique name that
Is registered with a company called Network Solutions, which has exclusive authority to register domain names under an agreement with the National Science Foundation. The "corn" is the top-level domain name portion. In the United States, it indicates the purpose of the sponsors of the site. For example, "com" indicates that the domain
name is a commercial operation. Outside the United States, the top-level name may include reference to a country, such as "au" for Australia.
While the internet has provided many new opportunities for communication, further advancements are anticipated. An additional convenience would be provided by
being able to remotely contact an on-board computer of another vehicle without
previously having knowledge of the e-mail address assigned to computer of the other vehicle. There currently does not exist any method or apparatus which provides this
convenience.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an advantage of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus
which allow an individual to send an e-mail message to an on-board computer located in a vehicle without previously having knowledge of the e-mail address assigned to the
In one form, the present invention relates to a method of estab ishing internet
contact between a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The method includes the step of providing a first computer within the first vehicle. The method additionally includes the step of providing a second computer within the second vehicle. The second vehicle has a license plate including a first sequence of characters. The method further includes the step of creating an e-mail address for the second computer including a second sequence of characters identical to the first sequence of characters. The method further yet includes the step of sending an e-mail message
from the first computer to the e-mail address.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention
is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its
application or uses.
In a first preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for internet communication which includes a first computer within a first
vehicle. A second computer is within a second vehicle. The first and second computers are substantially conventional in construction. Both of the first and second computers are capable of accessing the internet remotely through an on-board
modem. to
In a conventional manner, the second vehicle includes a license plate.have a sequence of license plate characters or first sequence of characters. The sequence may include any combination of letters or numbers. Alternatively, the sequence may also include other characters from a conventional keyboard, including but not limited
to the following characters: #; %; &; *.
The present invention anticipates the creation of an e-mail address for the second computer which includes a sequence of e-mail characters or a second plurality
of characters. The second plurality of characters is preferably identical to the first plurality of characters for the license plate of the first vehicle.
The e-mail address assigned to the second computer is assigned based on the license plate characters of the vehicle. Explaining further, if the license plate of the
motor vehicle includes the following sequence of characters, 12345", the user name
of the e-mail would include an identical sequence of characters.
The domain name portion of the e-mail address would be specific for a
database of motor vehicles. For example, the domain name might be "Hcenseplate".
Alternatively, the domain name could include specific reference to the state or province responsible for issuing the license plate. For example, the domain name for the e-mail address of a computer in a vehicle licensed in the state of Michigan could
include "michiganlicenseplate", "michplate", "miplate", or the like.
The top-level domain name for the e-mail address could be one presently available, such as "com" or wgov". Alternatively, the top-level domain name could be something new specific to a vehicle registration program, such as "pit" short for
"plate", or "mvr" for "motor vehicle registration". In addition to the above, it is anticipated that the e-maii address may also or alternatively include the vehicle type (make or manufacturer) or a description (car,
truck, bus, bicycle or boat).
In the exemplary manner described herein a complete e-mail address could be 12345(3) rniplate.com, wherein "12345" is the complete sequence of characters on the
vehicle license plate. In this manner, an individual driving in a motor vehicle
equipped with an on-board computer could send an e-mail message to the on-board computer of a second vehicle with knowledge of the license plate sequence of characters. The method and apparatus of the present invention will require
assignment of the e-mail address to a common domain name and a common top-level domain name. In one application, such e-mail addresses could automatically be assigned by the authority responsible for issuing license plates and/or drivers licenses at the time of vehicle registration. In the United States, this function can be carried
out by the Secretary of State for the individual states, for example. There would not be a need for each vehicle to have an on-board computer or to participate in the receipt of e-mail messages even if the vehicle has an on-board computer. Assignment of e-mail addresses in this exemplary manner would provide
other useful advantages. These advantages will be discussed further below.
In an otherwise conventional manner, the e-mail address can be inputted into the first computer through a computer keyboard. Alternatively, the e-mail address can be inputted through voice recognition software or a computer camera.
In a second preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for issuing citations for motor vehicle infractions. In this particular application, a first computer would be on-board within a law enforcement motor vehicle. By assignment of the license plate string of characters to a common
database in the manner discussed above, the law enforcement officer can quickly
obtain vehicle and registrant information by inputting the license plate string of characters. Again, inputting the string of characters can be done through a keyboard, through voice recognition software, or through a computer camera.
As an alternative to the second preferred embodiment, the assigned database can be based on a sequence of numbers other that the license plate characters. For example, the license plate or other part of the vehicle can be affixed with a bar code which can be read by an on-board bar code reader which cooperates with the
computer. Alternatively, the string of characters inputted into the computer may correspond to the vehicle license identification number.
The on-board computer of the law enforcement officer preferably prompts the officer for information regarding the infraction, whether it be moving, parking or otherwise. Upon completion, the ticket can be issued through the internet. In certain applications, it may be desired to also issue a hard copy of the ticket through standard mail in a conventional manner. This would be particularly true if the
registrant of the vehicle did not have any computer with an e-mail account assigned to specific e-mail address. The e-mail message sent by the law officer is copied to the station for processing and/or records.
In another application of the teachings of the present invention, a speed
camera can be linked directly to the internet for monitoring vehicles at all times without the need for a designed law enforcement officer. If the speed camera identifies a vehicle speed above a predetermined maximum speed, a picture of the vehicle, including the license plate would be taken. The computer would process the
digital image and convert the sequence of license plate characters to an e-mail address substantially in the manner discussed above. If the identified vehicle included a subscribing on-board computer, the vehicle occupant can be immediately notified of the infraction. Where a traffic ticket is issued through the internet, the registrant of the vehicle can remit payment by credit card through return e-mail. This manner would assist with processing and collections.
In yet another variation of the teachings of the present invention, a database can be generated based on a business or home address. Explaining further, the e~ mail address includes characters corresponding to the address. These characters can be included in either the domain name or user name. For example, the user of an on-board computer can send an e-mail address to a home or business computer through knowledge of the corresponding address. For an address of 25 Main Street,
Troy, Michigan, the user name of the assigned e-mail address can be w25maintroymi". Alternatively, the city and or state/province can be incorporated into the domain name, such as 25main@troymi. Such a system would provide advantages to delivery persons, law enforcement and the like.
While the invention has been described in the specification and illustrated in the drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted
for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular
embodiment illustrated by the drawings and described in the specification as the best
mode presently contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include any embodiments falling within the description of the appended claims. In this regard, while the subject invention has been described largely in connection with motor
vehicles, it will be understood that the teachings herein are applicable to portable or miniature computers.
