Methods and systems for displaying vehicle data parameters with drag-and-drop inputs
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, multiple vehicle data parameters associated with a first vehicle data parameter (VDP) identifier and multiple vehicle data parameters associated with a second VDP identifier;
displaying, at a first display position of a display communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, a first graphical representation associated with the first VDP identifier, wherein the first graphical representation associated with the first VDP identifier includes a first portion of the vehicle data parameters associated with the first VDP identifier;
displaying, at a second display position of the display, a first graphical representation associated with the second VDP identifier, wherein the first graphical representation associated with the second VDP identifier includes a first portion of the vehicle data parameters associated with the second VDP identifier, and wherein the first display position is different than the second display position; and
receiving, by the at least one processor, a drag-and-drop input of the first graphical representation associated with the first VDP identifier displayed at the first display position onto at least a portion of the second display position displaying the first graphical representation associated with the second VDP identifier and responsively changing the graphical representations displayed at the first display position and the second display position,wherein changing the graphical representations displayed at the first display position and the second display position includes switching the second display position to display, instead of the first graphical representation associated with the second VDP identifier, a second graphical representation associated with the first VDP identifier, wherein the second graphical representation associated with the first VDP identifier includes a second portion of the vehicle data parameters associated with the first VDP identifier, and wherein the second portion of the vehicle data parameters associated with the first VDP identifier is different than the first portion of the vehicle data parameters associated with the first VDP identifier.

Abstract
Methods and system pertaining to displaying vehicle data parameters (VDP) are described. A vehicle service tool (VST) with a display can receive vehicle data messages or signals from a vehicle to receive the VDP. Some of the VDP can be associated with a PID. The VST can display VDP thresholds and indicators when a received VDP has breached a VDP threshold. The VST can determine being changed from a landscape orientation to a portrait orientation or vice versa and responsively change the presentation of VDP graphs displayed by the display. The display can receive various inputs such as a drag-and-drop or pinch-and-expand input to alternatively change the presentation of the VDP graphs being displayed. Changing a VDP presentation of graphs can include resizing or repositioning one or more VDP graph windows including a VDP graph.
