First Claim
1. A method of operation in an assessment and notification system, the method comprising:
- receiving respective vehicle operational values from a plurality of transducers for at least a first vehicle, the vehicle operational values specifying operational values for a plurality of at least one of functions or subsystems of at least the first vehicle over time by at least one circuit of the assessment and notification system via at least one nontransitory storage medium of the assessment and notification system, the at least one nontransitory storage medium communicatively coupled to the at least one circuit;
detecting a serviceable condition based at least on the vehicle operational values by the at least one circuit of the assessment and notification system;
identifying one or more devices logically associated with at least one of the vehicle or an individual logically associated with the vehicle by the at least one circuit of the assessment and notification system wherein the identifying includes accessing a set of user preference information which identifies a set of devices for use in communicating with at least one of an owner or a driver of the vehicle;
for each of at least one of the identified devices, formatting at least one instance of a service alert based on at least one characteristic of the respective at least one of the identified devices by the at least one circuit of the assessment and notification system; and
transmitting the formatted instances of the service alert to the at least one of the identified devices.

Abstract
An asset authoring and delivery system generates a number of authored assets. Each of the authored assets includes a number of asset content objects that are logically associated with one or more components included in the item of manufacture. The authored assets generated by the asset authoring and delivery system are formatted and communicated to one or more remote devices logically associated with the item of manufacture. Authored assets may be provided responsive to one or more sensed characteristics, for instance vehicle operational parameters, vehicle operation and/or driver behavior, and may be customized to a make and/or model of vehicle.
