Computer-implemented system and method for evaluating the diagnostic state of a component
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating the diagnostic state of a component comprising:
- obtaining a computer server database and a computer client, wherein said computer server database includes component information;
communicating said computer client with said computer server database so as to allow access to said component information;
retrieving said component information from said computer server database so as to obtain retrieved component information; and
formulating said diagnostic state of a component responsive to said retrieved component information.

Abstract
A distributed computer-implemented diagnostic system for determining a diagnostic state of a component. The component exhibits measurable characteristics. The system includes a database that stores reference component characteristic data. A computer server is connected to the database, and a computer client is connected to the computer server via a network. The client computer provides data requests to the server computer in order to retrieve the component characteristic data from the database. A portable computer is connected to the computer client in order to have data access to the retrieved component characteristic data and to provide the component characteristic data for performing diagnosis. The diagnostic state of the component is determined based upon the retrieved component characteristic data as provided by the portable computer and upon at least one of the measurable characteristics of the component.
