Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing personal and business mobile wireless communications service is described. A message (40) is received having a message type (44). Message separability and cost allocation is performed based on the message type. The message (40) is processed when the message (40) is a fleet message, and the message (40) is forwarded to a message management center (20a) when the message is a personal message. Once the message is forwarded, it is deleted. In one embodiment of the invention, the messages are transmitted via a wireless satellite link between a mobile communications terminal (10) and a network management system (16). A fleet computer (18a) receives the messages from the network management system (16) and, after determining whether they are personal or fleet messages, processes them accordingly.

Claims (20)

1. A method for providing fleet message and personal message communications service to a fleet of vehicles using a fleet communications system having a wireless link comprising the steps of:
receiving a message transmitted via said wireless link and having a message type;
processing said message when said type is fleet message; and forwarding said message to a message management center when said message type is personal.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said step of processing comprises the step of storing said message.
3. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said step of processing comprises the step of generating notification of said message.
4. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said step of processing comprises the step of displaying said message.
5. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said message also has a driver ID, and said step of forwarding step is further comprised of the step of selecting a message management center based on said driver ID.
6. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of deleting said message after said step of forwarding is performed.
7. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said message management center is an internet service provider.
8. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said message management center is a local exchange carrier.
9. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said message management center is a paging service provider.
10. A wireless fleet communications system comprising:
11 a mobile communication terminal for transmitting a message having a message type field over a wireless link; and a fleet computer for forwarding said message to a message management center when said message type field is set to personal message and for processing said message when said message type field is set to fleet message.

11. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 10 further comprising a network management system for routing said message to said fleet computer based on a driver ID contained in said message.
12. The wireless fleet communications system as set forth in claim 11 wherein said fleet computer is further for deleting said message after forwarding to said message management center.
13. The wireless fleet communications system as set forth in claim 11 wherein said network management system is an internet service provider that forwards said message to a home computer.
14. A wireless fleet communications system comprising:
a mobile communication terminal for transmitting a message having a message type field over a wireless link; and a network management center for receiving said message, and for forwarding said message to a message management center when said message type field is set to personal message, and to a fleet computer when said message type field is set to fleet message.
15. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 14 wherein said message has a driver ID, and said network management center is further for routing said message to one of a set of message management centers based on said driver ID.
16. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 14 wherein said message management center is an internet service provider.
17. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 14 wherein said message management center is a paging service.
18. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 14 wherein said message management center is an voice messaging service.
19. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 10 wherein said network management center is further for billing fleet management when said message type field is set to personal message and for bill a fleet driver when said message type field is set to personal message.
20. The wireless fleet communications system of claim 10 wherein said message type is selected by input into said mobile communications terminal.
