Abstract:

An instrument is provided which is in electronic communication with an on board diagnostic system (OBD) of an automobile. The instrument selectively queries the OBD with batch requests for the purpose of reducing a processing load placed on the OBD PCM. The instrument obtains numerous operating conditions through the OBD, and displays the operating conditions in an intuitive format. The operating conditions may be grouped into five different modes, and the five most relevant operating conditions within each mode may be displayed on the monitor either by default or through customization by the user.

US Classification:

701 35, 701 29, 701 33

Abstract:

A scan tool is provided which comprises a housing which houses a display and six mode buttons. The scan tool is communicable with an OBD of an automobile and provides information retrieved therefrom to a user of the scan tool in an efficient and effective manner. In particular, the display displays a plurality of information on one screen. For example, the display may display information related to I/M Monitor Status simultaneously with MIL status, stored, pending or historical codes. Further, the scan tool allows the user to switch between modes by depressing the mode button of the desired mode without having to manually exit the current mode and manually enter the desired mode.

Inventors:

- Irvine CA, US
David Rich - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

G07C 5/00
G07C 5/08

Abstract:

A vehicle diagnostic system includes a first diagnostic server including a diagnostic database having historical data matched with possible vehicle fixes, and configured to receive retrieved vehicle data and identify a most likely vehicle fix associated therewith. The first diagnostic server is associated with a first processing capability. The system additionally includes a second diagnostic server including a diagnostic algorithm operatively associated therewith and configured to identify a possible vehicle fix based on an assessment of the retrieved diagnostic data according to predefined criteria associated with the diagnostic algorithm. The second diagnostic server is associated with a second processing capability. A diagnostic router is disposable in communication with the first and second diagnostic servers and is configured to determine which one of the first and second diagnostic servers to send retrieved diagnostic data based on an assessment of the retrieved data and the first and second processing capabilities.

H04L 29/08
H04W 4/029
G05D 1/02
H04W 64/00

Abstract:

An aftermarket vehicle communication device engageable to a vehicle for providing location information associated with the vehicle to a V2X data stream. The device includes a housing configured to be detachably engageable to the vehicle. A GPS circuit is coupled to the housing and is disposable in communication with a GPS system to receive a GPS signal therefrom, with the received GPS signal being representative of a location of the vehicle when the housing is engaged to the vehicle. An antenna circuit is also coupled to the housing and is in communication with the GPS circuit. The antenna circuit is configured to receive the GPS signal from the GPS circuit and communicate the GPS signal to the V2X data stream.
