Sound and scent search engine for mechanics
First Claim
1. A system for diagnosing events, the system comprising:
- an input operable to receive electronic data that includes a scent profile;
a computer-readable storage medium that stores a data structure, wherein the data structure stores known scent profiles and correspondences between known scent profiles and known events;
a computer processor operable to;
search the data structure for at least one known scent profile that matches a received scent profile; and
upon finding a match between a known scent profile and the received scent profile, output to a display an indication of one or more events corresponding to the matched known scent profile;
the display communicatively coupled to the computer processor.

Abstract
Method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing a cause of a scent and/or sound detected during operation of a vehicle are provided. In the event a vehicle operator hears a sound or smells a scent while operating a vehicle, a microphone can sample the sound and/or an electronic nose can sample the scent. A sound and/or scent profile is generated from the sampled sound and/or sampled scent. The generated sound and/or scent profile are compared to known sound and/or scent profiles stored in a data structure. In the event the generated sound and/or scent profile matches a known sound and/or scent profile, the data structure is checked for correspondences between the matched, known sound and/or scent profile and a cause of the sound and/or scent. In the event a correspondence to a cause exists, then the cause is output to a user to identify the cause of the sound and/or scent.
