Methods and systems for providing a vehicle repair tip
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a first computing system, cause the first computing system to perform functions comprising:
- receiving, from a second computing system, a message identifying a symptom of a first vehicle; and
sending a repair tip to the second computing system, wherein the repair tip comprises;
a first phrase describing a first procedure performed on a second vehicle that exhibited the symptom, wherein the first procedure performed on the second vehicle yielded a result insufficient to determine that a component of the second vehicle associated with the symptom is defective; and
a second phrase describing a second procedure performed on a given vehicle, wherein the given vehicle is either (i) the second vehicle or (ii) a third vehicle that also exhibited the symptom, wherein the second procedure performed on the given vehicle yielded a result sufficient to determine that a component of the given vehicle associated with the symptom is defective, and wherein the component of the given vehicle is equivalent to the component of the second vehicle.

29. A computing system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform functions comprising; receiving, from an additional computing system, a message identifying a symptom of a first vehicle; and sending a repair tip to the second computing system, wherein the repair tip comprises; a first phrase describing a first procedure performed on a second vehicle that exhibited the symptom, wherein the first procedure performed on the second vehicle yielded a result insufficient to determine that a component of the second vehicle associated with the symptom is defective; and a second phrase describing a second procedure performed on a given vehicle, wherein the given vehicle is either (i) the second vehicle or (ii) a third vehicle that also exhibited the symptom, wherein the second procedure performed on the given vehicle yielded a result sufficient to determine that a component of the given vehicle associated with the symptom is defective, and wherein the component of the given vehicle is equivalent to the component of the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
