Location Based Vehicle Data Logging and Diagnostic System and Method
First Claim
1. A remote diagnostic system for a hybrid drive system in a hybrid-electric vehicle, the remote diagnostic system comprising:
- a memory in which hybrid drive data and vehicle location data is recorded;
a user interface configured to receive a geographical request; and
,a processor configured to determine a subset of the hybrid drive system data in response to the geographical request, and further configured to report the subset of the hybrid drive system data.

Abstract
A data logging unit configured for installation in a hybrid vehicle communicates with a user device configured to receive data from the data logging unit and to display selected portions of the data to a user for identification of potential vehicle faults associated with vehicle events reported by the vehicle'"'"'s driver. The data logging unit has a data logger which communicates with hybrid drive system and other vehicle components to receive hybrid drive system data, and with a vehicle position sensor which detects location to receive vehicle location data. A data log processing module correlates location data with the corresponding vehicle data, and creates a correlated log of drive system data and associated vehicle location information, to allow identification of vehicle data within an event window based on vehicle location at the time of a reported event. Accordingly, a user may make a geographical request and the system will report vehicle data corresponding to the geographical request.
