Abstract
Computing systems for vehicle diagnostics are provided. In accordance with some aspects, a computing system may receive, from a vehicle (e.g., from a computing device installed in and/or at the vehicle), a diagnostic code generated by an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system of the vehicle. The computing system may determine an issue with the vehicle based on the diagnostic code and may determine, based on the issue, a remedial action for addressing the issue and a timeframe for performing the remedial action. The computing system may store data identifying the issue, the remedial action, and the timeframe in a record associated with the vehicle.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- a communication interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, via the communication interface, vehicle data generated by a sensor associated with a vehicle;
- determine an issue associated with the vehicle based on the vehicle data;
- determine a remedial action to address the issue;
- determine a timeframe for performing the remedial action, the timeframe based on at least one of a recommended timeframe for performing the remedial action to address the issue, a policy associated with a service, or a location of the vehicle;
- generate a notification including the issue, the remedial action, and the timeframe;
- generate a user interface, the user interface comprising the notification;
- and
- output the user interface to a computing device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, via a communication interface, data obtained by a sensor associated with a vehicle;
- determining an issue associated with the vehicle using the data;
- determining an action to correct the issue;
- determining a timeframe for the action to be performed, the timeframe based on at least one of a recommended timeframe for performing the action to correct the issue, a policy associated with a service, or a location of the vehicle;
- generating a notification including the issue, the action, and the timeframe;
- generating a user interface indicating the notification;
- and
- transmitting the user interface to a device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, via a communication interface, vehicle data generated by a sensor associated with a vehicle;
- determining an issue associated with the vehicle using the vehicle data;
- determining a remedial action to address the issue;
- determining a timeframe for the remedial action to be performed, the timeframe based on at least one of a recommended timeframe for performing the remedial action to correct the issue, a policy associated with a service, or a location of the vehicle;
- generating an interface indicating a notification, the notification including the issue, the remedial action, and the timeframe;
- and
- sending the interface to a computing device.
