Vehicle mounted failure information system
First Claim
1. A failure information system for transmitting failure information of a vehicle to an outside diagnosis center comprising:
- signal receiving means for receiving a signal indicating a failure of a vehicle-mounted system;
vehicle-run judging means for judging that the vehicle is running;
run-distance calculation means for;
calculating a run-distance of the vehicle since the signal receiving means received the signal indicating a failure in response to a judgment of the vehicle-run judging means that the vehicle is running at a time point when the signal receiving means receives the signal indicating a failure, andnot calculating the run-distance of the vehicle in response to the judgment of the vehicle-run judging means that the vehicle is not running at a time point when the signal receiving means receives the signal indicating a failure, on the basis of a judgment that the signal indicating a failure is not reliable;
reliability judging means for judging that the signal indicating a failure is reliable instead of not reliable, if the signal receiving means continuously receives the signal indicating a failure until the run-distance exceeds a preset distance level; and
over-vehicle communication means for transmitting failure information that includes the signal indicating a failure to an outside station when the reliability judging means judges that the signal indicating a failure is reliable.

Abstract
A failure information system that transmits various kinds of failure information of a vehicle to an outside diagnosis service center is disclosed. The failure information system includes a signal receiving unit that receives a signal indicating a failure of a vehicle-mounted system, a vehicle-run judging unit that judges that the vehicle is running, a run-distance calculation unit that calculates a run-distance of the vehicle since the signal indicating a failure is received, a reliability judging unit that judges that the signal indicating a failure is reliable if the signal receiving unit continuously receives the signal indicating a failure until the run-distance exceeds a preset distance level, and an over-vehicle communication unit that transmits the failure information that includes the signal indicating a failure when the reliability judging means judges that the signal indicating a failure is reliable.
