ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for displaying, to the driver of a vehicle, an introductory or other portion of messages received by a mobile communications terminal of the vehicle. The message display method may be implemented in a system which includes one or more vehicles in communication with a central control station. At least one of the vehicles is equipped with a mobile communications terminal for communication with the central control station. In a preferred implementation, the mobile communications terminal is coupled to an internal data link of the one vehicle, to which is also connected a display device in view of the vehicle driver. A first message packet is generated, at the central control station, for use by the vehicle driver. The first message packet is then transmitted from the central control station and received by the mobile communications terminal. In a preferred embodiment, an introductory or other portion of the first message packet is provided to the display device by way of the internal data link. This advantageously allows the vehicle driver to be apprised of the contents of incoming messages even without direct access to the mobile communications terminal.
