Abstract

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises: validating data in a vehicle system database; identifying data to be collected from at least one vehicle system; validating sufficient data rights; if sufficient data rights are validated, collecting the identified data; identifying at least one analysis to be performed; performing the at least one analysis on the collected data; identifying at least one analysis report to be generated; and generating the at least one analysis report.

Claims

1. A vehicle data analysis system, comprising:

a vehicle data analysis system processor;

a vehicle data analysis system memory coupled to the vehicle data analysis system processor;

wherein the vehicle data analysis system memory comprises;

a vehicle data analysis system;

at least one vehicle system database; and

a vehicle system rights database;

wherein the vehicle data analysis system is configured, as specified in the at least one vehicle system database, to analyze data from at least one vehicle system and generate at least one report; and

wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database specifies at least one vehicle system, data from each of the at least one vehicle system to be analyzed by the vehicle data analysis system, at least one type of analysis to be performed on such data, and at least one report format.

2. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 1, further comprising at least one vehicle system analysis database.

3. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database further specifies the destination of transmission of at least one of the at least one report.

4. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database further specifies at least one action.

5. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 2, wherein the at least one vehicle system analysis database is configured to store at least one of the analyzed data and the at least one report.

6. A vehicle, comprising:

a vehicle data analysis system, comprising;

a vehicle data analysis system processor;

a vehicle data analysis system memory coupled to the vehicle data analysis system processor;

wherein the vehicle data analysis system memory comprises;

a vehicle data analysis system;

at least one vehicle system database; and

a vehicle system rights database;

wherein the vehicle data analysis system is configured, as specified in the at least one vehicle system database, to analyze data from at least one vehicle system and generate at least one report; and

wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database specifies at least one vehicle system, data from each of the at least one vehicle system to be analyzed by the vehicle data analysis system, at least one type of analysis to be performed on such data, and at least one report format;

at least one vehicle data bus coupled to the vehicle data analysis system;

at least one vehicle system coupled to the at least one vehicle data bus; and

at least one of at least one vehicle display and at least one vehicle communications system, coupled to the vehicle data bus.

7. The vehicle of claim 6, further comprising at least one mass storage device coupled to the vehicle data bus.

8. The vehicle of claim 6, further comprising at least one vehicle system analysis database.

9. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 6, wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database further specifies the destination of transmission of at least one of the at least one report.

10. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 6, wherein each of the at least one vehicle system database further specifies at least one action.

11. The vehicle data analysis system of claim 8, wherein the at least one vehicle system analysis database is configured to store at least one of the analyzed data and the at least one report.

12. A vehicle system database editing system, comprising:

an editing system processor system;

wherein the editing system processor system comprises;

an editing system processor;

an editing system memory coupled to the editing system processor; and

wherein the editing system memory comprises;

a vehicle database;

a vehicle systems analysis database; and

a vehicle reports database.

13. The vehicle system database editing system of claim 12, wherein the editing system memory further comprises at least one of:

a vehicle system rights database, and at least one generated vehicle system database.

14. The vehicle system database editing system of claim 12, further comprising at least one of:

at least one editing system communications system coupled to the editing system processor system, and at least one input/output interface coupled to the editing system processor system.

15. A method, comprising:

validating data in a vehicle system database;

identifying data to be collected from at least one vehicle system;

validating sufficient data rights;

if sufficient data rights are validated, collecting the identified data;

identifying at least one analysis to be performed;

performing the at least one analysis on the collected data;

identifying at least one analysis report to be generated; and

generating the at least one analysis report.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

identifying at least one location to transmit the at least one analysis report; and

transmitting the at least one analysis report to the at least one location.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

identifying at least one action to undertake as a result of the at least one analysis report; and

undertaking the at least one action.

18. A method, comprising:

receiving identification of data and at least one corresponding vehicle system that generates the data;

receiving identification of at least one analysis technique with which to analyze the data;

receiving identification of at least one report format to use to generate a report of the analyzed data; and

storing the identification of data, the at least one corresponding vehicle system, the at least one analysis technique, and the at least one report format.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

receiving identification of at least one report delivery location;

receiving identification of at least one action; and

storing the identification of the at least one report delivery location and the at least one action.

20. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

validating data rights in the data; and

if data rights are not validated, then requesting granting of the data rights.
