1. A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform the functions of:
- receiving diagnostic vehicle information including at least one procedure for diagnosing a cause of a fault that is experienced by an apparatus under diagnosis;
identifying textual modifications that have been made to the diagnostic vehicle information;
storing in a library of transformations the textual modifications made to the diagnostic vehicle information;
identifying an intended output type of the diagnostic vehicle information;
for each textual modification, identifying a reason for making the textual modification within the diagnostic vehicle information, wherein identifying the reason includes abbreviating text in the diagnostic vehicle information, expanding an abbreviation of text in the diagnostic vehicle information, removing a picture from the diagnostic vehicle information, or inserting a picture into the diagnostic vehicle information; and
storing in the library of transformations an identifier for each textual modification indicating (i) the reason for making the textual modification and (ii) the intended output type of the diagnostic vehicle information within which to make the textual modification.

Abstract
A method and system for adaptively modifying diagnostic vehicle information is provided. A system can automatically optimize default OEM diagnostic vehicle information by recognizing when to make text and non-text modifications within the information. Manual changes that are made once can be learned and used over and over again. Modifications may be made based on a desired use of the diagnostic vehicle information.

3. A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform the functions of:
-
receiving diagnostic vehicle information including at least one procedure for diagnosing a cause of a fault that can be experienced by an apparatus under diagnosis; identifying an intended output type for which the diagnostic vehicle information will be used; searching within a library for textual modifications to make to the diagnostic vehicle information based on the intended output type; presenting a user with suggested textual modifications to make substitutions to the diagnostic vehicle information; creating transformation statistics indicating when the user agrees with the suggested textual modifications by recording whether the user accepts the suggested textual modifications to be made to the diagnostic vehicle information; and
wherein if the transformation statistics for a given textual modification exceed a predetermined threshold, automatically modifying the diagnostic vehicle information using the suggested textual modification. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving diagnostic vehicle information including at least one procedure for diagnosing a cause of a fault that is experienced by an apparatus under diagnosis; identifying an intended output type for which the diagnostic vehicle information will be used; identifying within a library, textual modifications to make to the diagnostic vehicle information based on the intended output type; for identified textual modifications, determining modification statistics, the modification statistics indicating whether a given textual modification should be accepted based on past experience; based on the modification statistics, modifying the diagnostic vehicle information according to the identified textual modifications;
accepting the identified textual modifications if the modification statistics are above a predetermined threshold; and
rejecting the identified textual modifications if the modification statistics are below a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
