Abstract
A vehicular data exchange system including a plurality of computer terminals and a processor. Each computer terminal includes an input device for inputting vehicular data and a display device for visually displaying inputted vehicular data, which includes vehicular characteristics data units and vehicular financial data units. The processor controls vehicular data whereby vehicular characteristics data units and vehicular financial data units inputted are transferred therebetween. A method of implementing the present invention is also described.
Claims18
A method of exchanging vehicular data of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- selecting any one of at least three computer terminals operative to transmit to each other and receive from one another the vehicular data for display on respective display devices associated with said terminals as a data inquiring computer terminal;
- deeming the remaining ones of the at least three computer terminals as data responsive computer terminals;
- receiving vehicular characteristics data units of the vehicle that have been input at any time into the data inquiring computer terminal for display on its display device;
- processing the vehicular characteristics data units immediately after inputting the vehicular characteristics data units by transmitting the vehicular characteristics data units to the data responsive computer terminals for display thereon;
- receiving vehicular financial data units for display on its display device, where the vehicular financial data units have been input into at least one of the data responsive computer terminals with a manual input device, where the vehicular financial data units are input with the manual input device in response to receipt of the vehicular characteristics data received by the data responsive computer terminals;
- and
- transmitting the vehicular financial data units immediately after inputting the vehicular financial data units to said inquiring computer terminal for display on the display device of said inquiring computer terminal.

A method of exchanging vehicular data of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- processing vehicular characteristics data units of the vehicle that have been input into a data inquiring computer terminal, by selecting select ones of a plurality of data responsive computer terminals to which the vehicular characteristics data units are to be transmitted,
- transmitting the vehicular characteristics data units to the selected responsive computer terminals for display thereon;
- receiving vehicular financial data units for display on its display device, where the vehicular financial data units have been input into at least one of the plurality of data responsive computer terminals with a manual input device, where the vehicular financial data units are input with the manual input device in response to the vehicular characteristics data received by the responsive computer terminals;
- transmitting the vehicular financial data units to said inquiring computer terminal for display on said inquiring computer terminal;
- and
- repeating transmission of said vehicular characteristics data units to said select ones of said plurality of responding computer terminals until said select ones of the data responding computer terminals receive the vehicular characteristics data units.
