Abstract

An interface device includes an input module for receiving evaluation data of a vehicle input by a user, and a display module for displaying one or more estimated causes corresponding to the evaluation data, wherein the input module receives one estimated cause selected from the estimated causes as a real cause.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

an interface device comprising an input module and a display module; and

a vehicle examining device comprising a storage module configured to store a mapping model, a cause analyzing module configured to analyze one or more estimated causes, and a cause learning module configured to update the mapping model,

wherein the input module receives evaluation data of a vehicle input by a user and receives one estimated cause selected out of the one or more estimated causes as a real cause,

wherein the display module displays the one or more estimated causes corresponding to the evaluation data,

wherein the cause analyzing module stores an evaluation result comprising the evaluation data and the real cause in the storage module,

wherein the cause learning module updates the mapping model based on the evaluation result, and

wherein the input module receives whether to update the mapping model.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the input module receives a solution for the real cause input by the user.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the interface device further comprises a communication module configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from the vehicle examining device.

4. A vehicle examining device comprising:

a storage module configured to store a mapping model;

a cause analyzing module configured to analyze one or more estimated causes corresponding to evaluation data input by a user based on the mapping model;

a communication module configured to receive the evaluation data input by the user from an interface device and transmit the one or more estimated causes to the interface device; and

a cause learning module configured to update the mapping model,

wherein the communication module receives one estimated cause selected by the user out of the one or more estimated causes from the interface device as a real cause,

wherein the cause analyzing module stores an evaluation result comprising the evaluation data and the real cause in the storage module,

wherein the cause learning module updates the mapping model based on the evaluation result, and

wherein the interface device receives whether to update the mapping model.

5. The vehicle examining device according to claim 4, further comprising:

a display module configured to display the one or more estimated causes to the user; and

an input module configured to receive another estimated cause selected out of the one or more estimated causes as the real cause from the user.

6. The vehicle examining device according to claim 5, wherein the input module receives a solution input by the user, and

wherein the cause analyzing module stores an evaluation result comprising the evaluation data, the real cause, the solution and the one or more estimated causes in the storage module.

7. The vehicle examining device according to claim 4, wherein the storage module stores a refined evaluation result as sampling data.

8. The vehicle examining device according to claim 4,

wherein the storage module stores sampling data respectively corresponding to a plurality of evaluation results, and

wherein the cause learning module updates the mapping model based on the sampling data.

9. The vehicle examining device according to claim 4, further comprising a performance test module to test performance of the mapping model on the basis of at least one performance index.

10. The vehicle examining device according to claim 4,

wherein the communication module receives a solution input by the user from the interface device, and

wherein the cause analyzing module stores the evaluation result comprising the evaluation data, the real cause, the solution, and the one or more estimated causes in the storage module.

11. A method of controlling a vehicle examining device, the method comprising:

receiving evaluation data of a vehicle from a user by an input module;

analyzing one or more estimated causes corresponding to the evaluation data based on a mapping model stored in a storage module by a cause analyzing module;

displaying the one or more estimated causes by a display module;

receiving one estimated cause selected by the user out of the one or more estimated causes as a real cause by the input module;

storing an evaluation result comprising the evaluation data and the real cause in the storage module by the cause analyzing module;

receiving whether to update the mapping model by the input module; and

updating the mapping model based on the evaluation result by a cause learning module in response to receiving a command of updating the mapping model by the input module.

12. The method according to claim 11 further comprising:

generating sampling data corresponding to the evaluation result and storing the generated sampling data in the storage module by the cause learning module; and

updating the mapping model based on the sampling data corresponding to a plurality of evaluation results stored in the storage module by the cause learning module.
