Automated analysis of vehicle diagnostic data stream to identify anomaly
First Claim
1. A vehicle diagnostic system comprising:
- a rules storage system configured to store one or more rules, each of which determines whether a vehicle may have an anomaly when applied to vehicle diagnostic information;
an operator interface configured to alert an operator of the diagnostic system to a suspected anomaly in the vehicle; and
a processing system configured to;
receive diagnostic information from the vehicle;
apply one or more rules in the rules storage system to the diagnostic information; and
cause the operator interface to alert the operator to a suspected anomaly in the vehicle if application of the one or more rules results in a determination that the vehicle may have that anomaly.

Abstract
A vehicle diagnostic system comprising a rules storage system configured to store one or more rules, each of which determines whether the vehicle may have an anomaly when applied to vehicle diagnostic information. An operator interface may be configured to alert an operator of the diagnostic system to a suspected anomaly in the vehicle. A processing system may be configured to receive diagnostic information from the vehicle, apply one or more rules in the rules storage system to the diagnostic information, and cause the operator interface to alert the operator to a suspected anomaly in the vehicle if the application of the one or more rules results in a determination that the vehicle may have that anomaly. Variations and related processes are also disclosed.

20. A vehicle diagnostic system comprising:
-
a test sets storage system configured to store a plurality test sets, each test set designating a plurality of test requests that are to be sent to a vehicle in response to a single request for the test requests designated by that that test set, each test request causing a different type of diagnostic information to be sent by the vehicle to the diagnostic system; and
a processing system configured to;
receive an identification of a selected test set in the test sets storage system;
obtain from the test sets storage system the plurality of test requests designated by the selected test set;
send the plurality of test requests designated by the selected test set to the vehicle; and
receive diagnostic information from the vehicle in response to each communicated test request.

21. A vehicle diagnostic process comprising:
-
sending a test request to a vehicle;
receiving diagnostic information from the vehicle in response to the test request;
applying one or more rules to the diagnostic information, each rule configured to determine whether the vehicle may have an anomaly; and
alerting a technician to a suspected anomaly in the vehicle if the application of one or more rules to the diagnostic information determines that the vehicle may have that anomaly. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
