Method and system for using live PID data and baseline ranges

A computing system comprising:

• a display interface;
• and
• a processor coupled to the display interface and programmed to:
• receive, at a computing system, a parameter-identifier (PID) filter list indicating contextually-relevant parameter-identifiers (PIDs) for a particular vehicle corresponding to specific vehicle identifying information and to a symptom of the particular vehicle,
• determine, at the computing system based on the PID filter list, a symptom-based subset of PIDs from among a set of available PIDs, wherein the symptom-based subset of PIDs includes one or more PIDs, but not all PIDs of the set of available PIDs, and the one or more PIDs includes a first PID;
• receive, from the particular vehicle in response to requests transmitted by the computing system, live PID parameter values corresponding the one or more PIDs;
• determine, at the computing system, a first baseline range corresponding to the first PID;
• and
• display, on the display interface, an information card in a dynamic mode, wherein the information card in the dynamic mode includes a descriptor of the first PID, a live PID parameter value corresponding to the first PID, and one or more indicators corresponding to the first baseline range.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored therein instructions executable by a processor to cause a computing system to perform functions comprising:

• receiving, at a computing system, a parameter-identifier (PID) filter list indicating contextually-relevant parameter-identifiers (PIDs) for a particular vehicle corresponding to specific vehicle identifying information and to a symptom of the particular vehicle,
• determining, at the computing system based on the PID filter list, a symptom-based subset of PIDs from among a set of available PIDs, wherein the symptom-based subset of PIDs includes one or more PIDs, but not all PIDs of the set of available PIDs, and the one or more PIDs includes a first PID;
• receiving, from the particular vehicle in response to requests transmitted by the computing system, live PID parameter values corresponding the one or more PIDs;
• determining, at the computing system, a first baseline range corresponding to the first PID;
• and
• displaying, on a display interface, an information card in a dynamic mode, wherein the information card in the dynamic mode includes a descriptor of the first PID, a live PID parameter value corresponding to the first PID, and one or more indicators corresponding to the first baseline range.
