1. A data management system for gathering vehicle data, the data management system comprising:
- a data gathering device; and
a host device, the host device being different from the data gathering device,wherein said data gathering device is configured to;
gather a first data item regarding a target object on a vehicle,transmit the first data item to said host device in a first instance, andtransmit a second data item to said host device in a second instance, the second instance being after the first instance, andwherein said host device is configured to;
receive the first data item from the data gathering device in the first instance,operate on the first data item to produce a first output by comparing the first data item to a diagnosis algorithm,transmit the first output to said data gathering device,receive a record of an action taken on the vehicle based on the first output,receive the second data item from the data gathering device in the second instance, the second instance being after the transmission of the first output to the data gathering device,determine, in response to reception of the second data item from the data gathering device, that the action taken on the vehicle was ineffective based on a determination that the first and the second data items are the same,operate on the second data item to produce a second output by comparing the second data item to the diagnosis algorithm, the second output being different from the first output, andtransmit the second output to the data gathering device.

Abstract
A data management system includes a data gathering device and a host device. The data gathering device is configured to gather data regarding a target object and to transmit the data to the host device. The host device operates on the data to produce an output and transmits the output back to the data gathering device. Subsequent action, including the gathering of further data, may be taken on the target object in response to and upon receipt of the output. The data gathering device and host device may communicate via wire or wirelessly. The host device may also exchange information with a network.

10. A method of collecting and managing data regarding a target object, the method comprising:
-
gathering a first data item regarding the target object on a vehicle using a test device; transmitting the first data item from the test device to a host device, the host device being different from the test device; receiving, from the test device and at the host device, the first data item in a first instance; comparing the first data item to a diagnosis algorithm by the host device to produce a first output; transmitting the first output from the host device to the test device; receiving, from the test device by the host device, a record of an action taken on the vehicle based on the first output; gathering a second data item regarding the target object on the vehicle using the test device; transmitting the second data item from the test device to the host device in a second instance, the second instance being after the first instance; determining, in response to reception of the second data item from the test device, that the action taken on the vehicle was ineffective based on a determination that the first and the second data items are the same; comparing the second data item to the diagnosis algorithm by the host device to produce a second output, the second output being different from the first output; and transmitting the second output from the host device to the test device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18)
