Maintenance systems and methods for use in analyzing maintenance data
First Claim
1. A method for use in analyzing data related to maintenance of at least one vehicle, said method comprising:
- retrieving, by a computing device, a plurality of diagnostic entries associated with at least one fault message from a database of diagnostic entries, each diagnostic entry including an identified corrective action and a date on which the identified corrective action was taken;
identifying a plurality of groups of diagnostic entries, wherein the diagnostic entries in a group have a same corrective action;
weighting a confidence level associated with each group'"'"'s corrective action based on an average age of the plurality of diagnostic entries in the group using a decay function;
displaying, to a user, a plurality of suggested corrective actions to facilitate the user remedying the at least one fault message by performing at least one corrective action of the plurality of suggested corrective actions, wherein the displayed plurality of suggested corrective actions includes the corrective action with the greatest weighted confidence level.

Abstract
Methods and maintenance systems for use in analyzing data related to maintenance of at least one vehicle are disclosed. One example method includes retrieving, by a computing device, a plurality of diagnostic entries associated with at least one fault message from a database of diagnostic entries, each diagnostic entry including an identified corrective action and a date on which the identified corrective action was taken; identifying a plurality of groups of diagnostic entries, wherein the diagnostic entries in a group have a same corrective action, and each group has a confidence level associated with its corrective action; and weighting the confidence level for each group based on an age of the plurality of diagnostic entries in the group.

9. A maintenance system for use in analyzing data related to maintenance of at least one vehicle, said maintenance system comprising:
-
a display device; a memory device storing a plurality of diagnostic entries, each diagnostic entry including at least one fault message, an identified corrective action, and a date; and a processor coupled to said memory device and said display device, said processor configured to; identify a plurality of groups of diagnostic entries from the plurality of diagnostic entries, wherein the diagnostic entries in a group have a same corrective action; and determine a weighting factor for each group of the plurality of groups based on an average age of the diagnostic entries in the group using a decay function; apply the weighting factor for each group to a confidence level associated with the corrective action of the group to determine a weighted confidence level for the corrective action; and display, on the display device, a plurality of suggested corrective actions to facilitate a user remedying the at least one fault message by performing at least one corrective action of the plurality of suggested corrective actions, wherein the displayed plurality of suggested corrective actions includes the corrective action with the greatest weighted confidence level. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
-
identify a plurality of groups of diagnostic entries from a plurality of diagnostic entries, wherein each diagnostic entry includes at least one fault message, an identified corrective action, and a date, and wherein the diagnostic entries in a group have a same corrective action; and determine a weighting factor for each group based on an average age of the plurality of diagnostic entries in the group using a decay function; determine a confidence level associated with the corrective action of each group of diagnostic entries; apply the weighting factor for each group to the confidence level associated with the corrective action of the group to determine a weighted confidence level for the corrective action; and display, on a display device, a plurality of suggested corrective actions to facilitate a user remedying the at least one fault message by performing at least one corrective action of the plurality of suggested corrective actions, wherein the displayed plurality of suggested corrective actions includes the corrective action with the greatest weighted confidence level. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
