ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A diagnostic apparatus for automatically diagnosing malfunctions in devices, the diagnostic apparatus being connected with at least one server through a network, the diagnosing apparatus comprising:
- at least one peripheral interface for connecting to at least one suspended malfunctioning device;
a data storage for storing a diagnostic program access address table, wherein the diagnostic program access address table associates access addresses of the diagnostic programs with various sorts of the at least one malfunctioning device stored on one of the at least one server according to sort identification codes;
a sort identification code acquiring module for acquiring the sort identification code from a hardware code of one of the at least one suspended malfunctioning device connected to the diagnostic apparatus;
a program address determining module for determining the access address of the diagnostic program on the server according to the determined sort identification code in the diagnostic program access address table;
a diagnostic program accessing module for accessing the diagnostic program from the server according to the determined access address of the diagnostic program;
a malfunction diagnosing module for applying the diagnostic program to the suspended malfunctioning device; and
a diagnostic report generating module for generating a diagnostic report of diagnosis generated from the malfunction diagnosing module.
