First Claim
Patent Images
1. A visual diagnostic system for providing a diagnostic service for a machine, comprising:
- a sensor located onboard the machine and configured to generate a signal indicative a status of a machine component;
a display device associated with the machine; and
a controller in communication with the sensor and the display device, wherein the controller is configured to;
responsive to the status signal, determine whether a customer associated with the machine has a subscription under the diagnostic service to access computer-aided design (CAD) models of components of the machine;
when it is determined the customer has a subscription, access at least one CAD model associated with the component and stored in a component model database;
render a view of at least the component based on the accessed at least one model; and
display on the display device the rendered view of at least the component.

9. A computer-implemented method for providing a visual diagnostic service for a machine, the method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a status of a component of the machine; responsive to the status indication, determining whether a customer associated with the machine has a subscription under the diagnostic service to access CAD models associated with components of the machine; when it is determined that the customer has a subscription to the diagnostic service, receiving access to at least one CAD model associated with the component and stored in a model database; rendering a view of at least the component based on the accessed at least one model; and displaying the view of at least the component on a display device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
