ENGINE SYSTEM UTILIZING CLOUD BASED ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
First Claim
1. A cloud based engine optimization system, comprising:
- an engine;
a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of an amount of power generated by the engine;
a speed sensor configured to generate a speed signal indicative of a speed of the engine; and
a controller configured to;
receive the sensor signal and the speed signal;
generate an operating histogram based on the sensor signal and the speed signal;
upload the operating histogram to a server;
receive, from the server, a calibration parameter set; and
apply the received calibration parameter set to the engine; and
the server being configured to;
receive the operating histogram from the controller;
generate the calibration parameter set that reduces both a fuel consumption amount for the engine and an amount of emissions discharged by the engine when performing operations corresponding to the operating histogram; and
transmit the calibration parameter set to the controller.

Abstract
A cloud based engine optimization system is disclosed. The system may have an engine. The system may also have a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of an amount of power generated by the engine and a speed sensor configured to generate a speed signal indicative of a speed of the engine. The system may also have a controller configured to receive the sensor signal and the speed signal. The controller may also be configured to upload the operating histogram to a server and receive, from the server, a calibration parameter set. In addition, the controller may be configured to apply the received calibration parameter set to the engine. The server may be configured to generate the calibration parameter set that reduces both a fuel consumption amount for the engine and an amount of emissions discharged by the engine when performing operations corresponding to the operating histogram.

19. An engine, comprising:
-
an engine block; a crankshaft rotatingly disposed within the engine block; at least one combustion chamber disposed within the engine block; a fuel injector configured to inject fuel into the at least one combustion chamber; a piston disposed reciprocatingly within the at least one combustion chamber, the piston being configured to rotate the crankshaft; a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of a power generated by the engine; a speed sensor configured to generate a speed signal indicative of a speed of the engine; and an on-board controller configured to; receive the sensor signal and the speed signal; generate an operating histogram based on the sensor signal and the speed signal; upload the operating histogram to an off-board server; receive from the off-board server a calibration parameter set that reduces both a fuel consumption amount for the engine and an amount of emissions discharged by the engine when performing operations corresponding to the operating histogram; and apply the calibration parameter set to the engine. - View Dependent Claims (20)
