摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided that allow for automatic applications menu generations when an updated application is available to a vehicle diagnostic device. The applications are verified to ensure that they are authorized for the vehicle diagnostic device. Templates can be used to generate the applications menu by associating the template with the installed application. The vehicle diagnostic device can display the applications menu and sort the applications menu based authorized applications versus unauthorized applications.
摘要:
A method and software for updating a vehicle diagnostic device's software diagnostic device's software stored on a flash memory device when the memory device is located in a memory card reader coupled to a computing device. The method includes communicating with a driver of a flash memory card reader without interacting with the operating system of the computing device. The method also includes reading and writing on the flash memory device without interacting with the operating system of the computing device.
摘要:
A vehicle diagnostic tool that is configured to perform one or more diagnostic tests on one or more systems of a vehicle. Once the test has been performed and data collected, the data may be forwarded to a location outside of the diagnostic tool through a mobile broadband connection device that is inserted into the diagnostic tool through a designated port. Also, a method of performing a vehicle diagnostic test utilizing such a diagnostic tool.
摘要:
A vehicle diagnostic system couples a vehicle diagnostic tool, a remote processor, and a remote display device and provides the necessary functionality for compression, transmission, decompression and display of vehicle diagnostic data. Vehicle diagnostic data is received from a vehicle onboard computer and converted into display data, which is compressed and transmitted to the remote processor. The remote processor decompresses the vehicle diagnostic display data and displays it on the remote display device.

摘要:
A diagnostic system that includes a vehicle communication interface (VCI) and a diagnostic tool is provided. When the VCI and the diagnostic tool are coupled together through a wired connection, the VCI and the diagnostic tool can communicate with each other and provide power, as needed, to each other. The VCI and the diagnostic tool can also communicate with each other wirelessly when the are not directly coupled to each other. The VCI and the diagnostic tool are configured so that communication is uninterrupted when going from the wired connection to the wireless connection and vice versa.
摘要:
A hand-held diagnostic tool is designed to operate and easily upgrade software applications developed for automotive diagnostics. The diagnostic tool, which communicates with a plurality of motor vehicle control units, provides application upgrades and/or modifications and/or new algorithms that are developed/adapted via remote updating. The tool comprises full diagnostic capability capable of receiving diagnostic data from a motor vehicle for storage, analysis and/or further data transfer to a remote device. The tool may further comprise wireless capability to perform data transfer operations. Remote updating is accomplished through a number of external ports on the tool that facilitate modem, Ethernet and wireless communications, including point-to-point protocol connection to the Internet.
