摘要： A communication system architecture (SA) for a vehicle which may be integrated into the vehicle's multiplexed electronic component communication system, and a process for communicating with the vehicle to provide information for and about the vehicle's operational status and coordinating the vehicle's activities. The communication system will include a multi-functional antenna system for the vehicle that will have the capability to receive AM/FM radio and television signals, and transmit and receive citizens band (CB) radio signals, satellite and microwave and cellular phone communications. The antenna may be installed as original equipment or as a back-fit part in the after-market. In either case the multi-functional antenna will be integrated with the vehicle's multiplexed electronic component communication system. The process for communicating with the vehicle will involve a communication service for which the vehicle's driver will enroll for and service will continue so long as maintenance fees are paid. The service will be capable of providing various levels of information transfer and coordination. The levels may include vehicle information such as (1) the need for servicing and location of the nearest service center with the necessary parts in stock, (2) routing, and (3) load brokering and coordination. The modular design of the system architecture (SA) will allow it to be employed with the vehicle platform that does not possess a full multiplexed electronic component communications system. The resulting vehicle, using an after-market application package, will be able to participate in some of the services.

摘要翻译： 一种用于车辆的通信系统结构（SA），其可以集成到车辆的多路复用电子部件通信系统中，以及与车辆通信以提供关于车辆的操作状态的信息并且协调车辆的活动的过程。 通信系统将包括用于车辆的多功能天线系统，其具有接收AM / FM无线电和电视信号的能力，以及发送和接收民用频带（CB）无线电信号，卫星和微波以及蜂窝电话通信。 天线可以作为原始设备安装，也可以作为售后市场中的后备部件安装。 在任一情况下，多功能天线将与车辆的多路复用电子部件通信系统集成。 与车辆通信的过程将涉及车辆驾驶员注册的通信服务，并且只要支付维护费用，服务将继续。 该服务将能够提供各种级别的信息传递和协调。 这些级别可能包括车辆信息，例如（1）需要维修和定位最近的服务中心，其中有必要的库存部分，（2）路由，和（3）加载中介和协调。 系统架构（SA）的模块化设计将允许其与不具有全复用电子组件通信系统的车辆平台一起使用。 所产生的车辆使用售后市场的应用程序包将能够参与一些服务。
