`appliance includes.
`a microprocessor, (2) a vehicle-
`communication circuit; (3) a GPS module,‘ and (4) a wireless
`transmitter. The wireless transmitter receives and transmits
`location-based data generated by the GPS module and
`diagnostic data collected by the vehicle—communication
`circuit. The vehicle—communication circuit is integrated into
`a single ASIC that includes modules for managing different
`vehicle—communication protocols, such as, for example,
`J1850 PWM, J1850 VPWM, ISO 91412, CAN, Keyword
