Implementations of the present invention contemplate utilizing the communicative connections between a telematics service provider (TSP), a communication device, and a telematics unit in a vehicle to manage personalized information of a subscriber. Implementations contemplate the removal of personalized information of a subscriber from data stores located at a vehicle, the uploading of personalized information of a subscriber to a database of an operations control center of the TSP, and the downloading of personalized information of a subscriber by a telematics unit of a vehicle from an operations control center of the TSP. Implementations enable personalized information of a subscriber to be removed from a vehicle remotely in order to prevent a user of the vehicle from accessing personalized information of the subscriber. Furthermore, implementations enable personalized information of a subscriber to be accessed by a vehicle in order to provide a subscriber with a customized experience in the vehicle.

A daisy chain two-wire sensor measurement system includes one or more slave modules, a master module and a daisy chain wire. The one or more slave modules are connected to one or more sensors, and configured to modulate a detected sensor signal into the corresponding current signal. The master module is successively cascaded to a first slave module, an upper-stage slave module, and a lower-stage slave module in the one or more slave modules through the daisy chain wire to form a daisy chain sensor network, and interconnected with an upper computer through a communication wire. The daisy chain wire is configured to supply power and transmit the current signal obtained by the slave module through modulation, such that the master module obtains and then decodes the current signal on the daisy chain wire to obtain the corresponding sensor data. A daisy chain two-wire sensor measurement method is further provided.
