Abstract
From diagnostic configurations, individual data elements and a frequency for collection of each data element including removing redundant collection of data elements are identified. Diagnostic data from the vehicle in accordance with the identification are periodically collected. The diagnostic data is sent to the server with instructions that specify each data element in the diagnostic data and for which configurations each data element in the diagnostic data is required.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a processor programmed to
- identify, from diagnostic configurations, individual data elements and a frequency for collection of each data element including removing redundant collection of data elements,
- periodically collect diagnostic data from a vehicle in accordance with the identification, and
- send the diagnostic data to a server with instructions specifying each data element in the diagnostic data and which configurations require each data element.
A method comprising:
- receiving diagnostic requirements, specifying vehicle data requirements, from requester devices;
- sending configurations to vehicles per the diagnostic requirements;
- receiving, from the vehicles, a plurality of diagnostic data messages, each including instructions that specify each data element in the respective message and which configurations require each data element in the respective message;
- compiling data conforming to the diagnostic requirements per the instructions;
- and
- sending the compiled data to the requester devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a vehicle data server, cause the processor to:
- receive diagnostic requirements from requester devices;
- send configurations to vehicles per the diagnostic requirements, each configuration including a unique identifier, the configurations including at least a first configuration specifying, at a first frequency, at least first and second data elements and a second configuration specifying, at a second frequency, at least the first data element and a third data element, the first frequency being a multiple of the second frequency;
- receive, from the vehicles, a plurality of diagnostic data messages at the first frequency, each including instructions that specify each data element in the respective message and unique identifiers identifying which configurations require each data element in the respective message;
- compile data conforming to the diagnostic requirements per the instructions;
- and
- store the compiled data in a database for access by the requester devices.
