DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING DAMAGE REPAIR COST
First Claim
1. A repair cost calculating device comprising:
- a plurality of pressure sensors to detect a pressure value when a collision is occurred to a vehicle;
at least one flaw detector to detect damage data of the vehicle, wherein the damage data comprises a location of the damage, a type of the damage, a size of the damage area, and a depth of the damage area;
at least one processor coupled to the pressure sensors and the at least one flaw detector; and
at least one storage device storing one or more programs, when executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs cause the at least one processor to;
acquire a pressure value from each of the pressure sensors and determine whether the pressure value is greater than a preset value;
control the at least one flaw detector to detect the damage data of the vehicle if the acquired pressure value is greater than the preset value;
obtain the damage data from the at least one flaw detector and determine a damage ratio according to the damage data and a pre-stored data which represents an undamaged vehicle; and
determine a damage repair cost according to the damage ratio and a pre-stored table recording a relationship between different damage ratios and damage repair cost.

Abstract
A cost calculating device mounted on a vehicle to calculate repair cost for damage includes a number of pressure sensors, at least one flaw detector, and a processor. The pressure sensors detect changes in pressure value in collisions. The processor acquires the pressure values from each of the pressure sensors and determines whether a pressure value is greater than a preset value. The flaw detector detects damage data if the acquired pressure value is greater than the preset value. The processor further determines a damage ratio according to the damage data and a pre-stored data for undamaged vehicle, and determines a repair cost according to the damage ratio and a pre-stored table recording a relationship between different damage ratios and repair costs. A cost calculating method is also provided.
