VEHICLE FLUID REPLACEMENT MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A computing device for a vehicle fluid replacement monitoring system, the computing device comprising:
- one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, anda memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to;
receive an indication of a “
fluid-empty”
condition in a fluid reservoir;
receive an indication of a “
fluid-present”
condition occurring in the fluid reservoir after the “
fluid-empty”
condition;
acquire, responsive to receiving the indication of the “
fluid-present”
condition, information indicative of a location of the vehicle when the indication of the “
fluid-present”
condition was received; and
store, in a memory, the information indicative of a location of the vehicle when the indication of the “
fluid-present”
condition was received relating to the “
fluid present”
condition.

Abstract
A computing device for a vehicle fluid replacement monitoring system is provided. The computing device includes one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive an indication of a “fluid-empty” condition in a fluid reservoir; receive an indication of a “fluid-present” condition occurring in the fluid reservoir after the “fluid-empty” condition; acquire, responsive to receiving the indication of the “fluid-present” condition, information relating to the “fluid-present” condition; and store, in a memory, the information relating to the “fluid-present” condition.

13. A method of monitoring vehicle fluid changes, comprising steps of:
-
detecting, in a vehicle fluid reservoir, a “
fluid-empty”
condition;detecting, in the fluid reservoir, a “
fluid-present”
condition occurring after the “
fluid-empty”
condition;acquiring, after detection of the “
fluid-present”
condition, location information relating to the detected “
fluid-present”
condition; andstoring, in a memory, the location information relating to the detected “
fluid-present”
condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
