Abstract

A system for verifying a check status includes a display 41, a mobile terminal 30 to which a mechanic inputs a status information indicative of a check status, and a server 10 which makes a display indicate the check status on in real time, in response to the status information sent from the mobile terminal. Accordingly, a user can verify the check status of a vehicle.

Claims

1. A system for verifying a check status, comprising:

a display;

an information terminal to which a mechanic inputs a status information indicative of a check status; and

a processor which makes said display indicate said check status thereon in real time, in response to said status information sent from said information terminal.

2. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said information terminal comprises a bar code reader which reads a bar code put on a repair card on which a check item is noted, and

information read by said bar code reader is sent as said status information to said processor.

3. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said processor comprises a transmit unit which sends data indicative of said check status to said information terminal, in response to a request from said information terminal, and

said information terminal comprises a display unit which indicates said data indicative of said check status sent by said transmit unit of said processor.

4. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said information terminal further comprises a check status obtaining unit which obtains said status information of an apparatus that is being checked by said mechanic, and

wherein said check status obtaining unit sends said status information to said processor.

5. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said display is included in a terminal device,

said terminal device further includes a input unit to which a user of an apparatus that is being checked by said mechanic inputs a indication request information, and

said processor transmits said check status to said terminal device such that said display indicates said check status, in response to said indication request information sent from said terminal device.

6. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 5, further comprising:

a memory device which stores said check status and an ID number of said apparatus, wherein said check status is related to said ID number,

wherein said processor transmits said check status to said terminal device, in response to said indication request information which includes said ID number sent from said terminal device.

7. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 6, wherein said apparatus includes a vehicle.

8. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 7, wherein said terminal device is installed in a waiting room for said user who is waiting for completion of said check by said mechanic.

9. The system for verifying a check status, according to claims 8, wherein said check status includes check items.

15. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said information terminal is a mobile information terminal.

16. The system for verifying a check status, according to claim 1, wherein said terminal device is installed in a waiting room for said user who is waiting for completion of said check by said mechanic.

10. A method of verifying a check status, comprising:

receiving a status information indicative of a check status of an apparatus that is being checked by a mechanic; and

indicating said check status on a display in real time, in response to said status information,

wherein said display is installed in a place where at least one of a user of said apparatus and said mechanic are in.

11. The method of verifying a check status, according to claim 10, further comprising the steps of:

storing said status information in a memory device;

receiving an indication request information including an ID number of said apparatus, wherein said indication request information shows a request for indicating said status information on said display;

obtaining said status information from said memory device, based on said indication request information; and

indicating said check status on said display, in response to said indication request information.

12. The method of verifying a check status, according to claim 11, wherein said display is installed in a waiting room for said user who is waiting for completion of said check by said mechanic.

13. The method of verifying a check status, according to claim 12, wherein said apparatus includes a vehicle.

14. The method of verifying a check status, according to claims 13, wherein said check status includes check items.

17. The method of verifying a check status, according to claim 10, wherein the mechanic inputs said status information via a mobile information terminal.

18. The method of verifying a check status, according to claim 17, wherein said mobile information terminal comprises a bar code reader which reads a bar code placed on a repair card on which a check item is noted, and said status information is read by said bar code reader.
