Abstract
A portable wireless data transfer and display device comprises a user interface, a communication module, a display, and a short-range wireless communication module configured to wirelessly receive vehicle data from a data acquisition device mounted inside a vehicle when in close proximity to the data acquisition device. The device is configured to accept inputs of driver information from a user, to send the vehicle data and the driver information through the communication module to a network device via a long-range wireless network, and to receive one or more work requests from the network device via the long-range wireless network. The device is configured to present the work request via the display, to accept an input from a driver responding to the work request, and to forward the input from the driver to the network device via the long-range wireless communication module and the long-range wireless network.
