System and method for executing diagnosis of vehicle performance
First Claim
1. A system for executing diagnosis of vehicle performance of a vehicle comprising:
- a communications unit receiving through a communications network a call signal from a external user at a remote site requesting vehicle performance diagnostic results of an engine and various parts of the vehicle, and transmitting through the communication network the performance diagnostic results in real time to the external user in response to said call signal;
telemetry sensors installed in the engine and the various parts of the vehicle, the telemetry sensors recovering the information that is input from or measured/detected at the engine and at the various parts of the vehicle to telemetry data and then outputting said telemetry data;
a controller receiving the call signal from the communication unit to control operation of the telemetry sensors, said controller receiving the telemetry data from the telemetry sensors, comparing values of the received data with specific designated values for the engine and the various parts of the vehicle to determine if vehicle performance is normal or abnormal, and converting results data into function control signals and outputting said function control signals; and
a display for receiving the function control signals from the controller and displaying the diagnosis process of vehicle performance or the diagnosis results as requested by a driver of the vehicle, the display including a graphical user interface (GUI) technology through the driver interfaces with the system.

Abstract
A system for executing diagnosis of vehicle performance using satellite telemetry technology includes a diagnostic unit for compiling telemetry data, transmitted in real-time, of an engine and various parts of a vehicle, comparing the telemetry data with specific values of the engine and various parts to determine if there are any abnormalities in vehicle performance, and monitoring diagnostic results of vehicle performance; and a communications unit for performing communications in real-time through a network with an external user requesting vehicle performance diagnostic results of the diagnostic unit. Accordingly, the driver or external user may easily determine if there are abnormalities in vehicle performance, take steps to cope with vehicle malfunctions before they occur, and know the precise location of any abnormal areas of vehicle performance.

6. A method for executing diagnosis of vehicle performance using a system for transferring data real time from a vehicle to an external user at a remote site in response to a call signal received over a communications network, the method comprising the steps of;
-
(a) receiving the call signal from the external user at the remote site;
(b) compiling telemetry data, which is transmitted in real-time, of an engine and various parts of the vehicle; and
(c) comparing the telemetry data with specific designated values of the engine and various parts of the vehicle stored in the system to perform diagnosis of normal/abnormal states of vehicle performance, and monitoring diagnostic results of vehicle performance; and
(d) transmitting vehicle information including diagnostic information to said external user through said communications network in real time in response to said calls signal. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
