Abstract

The extraction program and method of extraction of the present invention can be utilized by emergency response personnel to safely extract passengers from a vehicle and handle hazardous chemical spills. Another embodiment of the present invention provides for vehicle make and model recognition technology. Another embodiment provides for damage estimates to be given in a speedy manner.

Claims

1. A computer program product that is stored on a computer-readable medium and that includes computer program code which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

display a user interface menu, said user menu providing a selection of vehicle makes and models from which a user can select,

display, upon selection by the user, a vehicle schematic in which various components of interest are displayed in color.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, comprising:

means to display the components of interest in grouped layers, and means for selecting and de-selecting the components of interest by group.

3. The computer program product of claim 2, wherein:

the grouped layers are color coded as follows;

green;

depicts air bags, seatbelt pretensioners, inflation cylinders, and crash sensors,

red;

depicts fuel conduits/containers,

yellow;

depicts batteries,

magenta;

depicts structural reinforcements.

4. The computer program product of claim 1, comprising:

means for user access to information regarding hazardous chemicals and the codes displayed on vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals, and

means for user access to notes regarding vehicles.

5. The computer program product of claim 1, comprising:

means to display vehicle schematics with components of interest in both a side view and top view,

means for the user to alternate between the side and top views,

means to display information in a day mode or night mode, and

means for user selection between day mode and night mode.

6. The computer program product of claim 1, comprising means for touch screen control, and/or means for voice control.

7. The computer program product of claim 1, comprising means for vehicle recognition.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, comprising means for displaying an estimated repair cost of damage to a recognized vehicle.

9. A method of extracting a passenger from a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

operating a mobile computer device,

selecting a vehicle make and model on said computer device,

viewing a vehicle schematic on said mobile computer device, in which various components of interest are displayed in color.

10. The method of claim 9, comprising the step of:

viewing the components of interest in grouped layers, and one or both of the following steps;

selecting the components of interest by group, and

de-selecting the components of interest by group.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein:

the grouped layers are color coded as follows;

green;

depicts air bags, seatbelt pretensioners, inflation cylinders, and crash sensors,

red;

depicts fuel conduits/containers,

yellow;

depicts batteries,

magenta;

depicts structural reinforcements.

12. The method of claim 9, comprising the step of accessing information regarding hazardous chemicals and the codes displayed on vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals by selecting a menu in the mobile computing device.

13. The method of claim 9, comprising:

accessing notes regarding vehicles by selecting a menu in the mobile computing device.

14. The method of claim 9, comprising one or both of the steps of:

viewing vehicle schematics with components of interest in both a side view and top view, and

alternating between the side and top views.

15. The method of claim 9, comprising one or both of the steps of:

viewing information in a night mode, and

alternating views between day mode and night mode.

16. A method of estimating repair costs on a damaged vehicle, comprising the steps of:

operating a mobile computer device, said mobile computer device comprising means to recognize a vehicle make and model via photographic recognition.

17. The method of claim 16, comprising the step of matching a damaged vehicle to a vehicle catalogued in said mobile computer device through an algorithm stored in said mobile computer device.

18. The method of claim 16, comprising the step of accessing information regarding roughly estimated repair costs catalogued within said mobile computer device.
