Abstract

See full text

A system. The system includes a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a first wireless communication circuit coupled to the processor. The first wireless communication circuit is configured to receive, from an operations center remotely located with respect to a vehicle, a message comprising an alert concerning a payment event. The system also includes a second wireless communication circuit, distinct from the first wireless communication circuit, coupled to the processor. The second wireless communication circuit is configured to relay the alert to a wireless device. The memory stores a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to: disable the vehicle responsive to a first command from the operations center, the first command received across the first wireless communication circuit using a first communication protocol, disable the vehicle responsive to a second command from the operations center, the second command relayed through the wireless device across the second wireless communication circuit using a second communication protocol, and disable the vehicle when the wireless device is not communicatively coupled to the onboard device.
