Abstract
A performance system can enable an untrained end user to analyze the performance of a vehicle based on performance data that the vehicle's ECU generates. The performance system can include a performance tool that is configured to request performance data from one or more ECUs of a vehicle. The performance system can also include a performance engine that interfaces with the performance tool to create a log of the performance data. The performance engine can be configured to process the performance data log to generate a number of performance values which correspond to performance parameters. The performance engine can then use the performance values to generate performance representations which can then be presented to the end user.
Claims19
A performance system comprising:
- a performance tool that is configured to connect to an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle and to read performance data from the ECU over a period of time, each reading of the performance data comprising values for a plurality of performance parameters;
- and
- a performance engine that interfaces with the performance tool to receive and store the performance data in a performance data log, the performance engine being configured to perform a method for enabling an end user to analyze performance of the vehicle using the performance data log, the method comprising:
- processing the performance data log to generate a set of performance values for a first performance parameter of the plurality of performance parameters, wherein the set of performance values for the first performance parameter comprises performance values for the first performance parameter that correspond to different values for an engine speed performance parameter;
- generating a performance representation from the set of performance values for the first performance parameter;
- and
- presenting the performance representation to the end user.
A method for enabling an end user to analyze performance of a vehicle using a performance data log, the method comprising:
- obtaining a performance data log containing performance data read from an ECU of the vehicle over a period of time, each reading of the performance data comprising values for a plurality of performance parameters;
- processing the performance data log to generate a set of performance values for a first performance parameter that correspond to different values for an engine speed performance parameter;
- generating a performance representation from the set of performance values for the first performance parameter;
- and
- presenting the performance representation to the end user.
One or more computer storage media storing computer executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors implement a method for enabling an end user to analyze performance of a vehicle using a performance data log, the method comprising:
- obtaining a performance data log containing performance data read from an ECU of the vehicle over a period of time, each reading of the performance data comprising values for a plurality of performance parameters;
- processing the performance data log to generate a first set of performance values for a first performance parameter that correspond to different values for an engine speed performance parameter and to generate a second set of performance values for a second performance parameter that correspond to the different values for the engine speed performance parameter;
- generating a first performance representation from the first set of performance values for the first performance parameter and a second performance representation from the second set of performance values for the second performance parameter;
- and
- presenting the first and second performance representations to the end user.
