Abstract
A calibration and repair system for advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and features is configured to provide secure, automated workflow management related to the calibration of ADAS. Automated workflows include steps and interfaces to aid in preparation of a vehicle for calibration, local-remote collaboration during calibration, customer interactions, workflow and event notification, user authentication, remote system management, and other tasks. The system is also capable of automatically and dynamically adding new and updated calibration specifications that are usable during local-remote collaboration.
Claims20
A calibration system, comprising a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and an advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) diagnostic scanner in communication with the processor, the memory being encoded with programming instructions executable by the processor to:
- present a technician interface via a technician device, where the technician interface generates technician output and accepts technician input;
- control the diagnostic scanner to calibrate an ADAS of a vehicle having a vehicle identifier, the controlling being performed as a function of the technician input, and wherein the calibration produces output from the diagnostic scanner;
- store a repair history in the memory, where the repair history comprises the vehicle identifier, the technician input, and the output from the diagnostic scanner;
- and
- in response to a query containing the vehicle identifier, retrieve the repair history from the memory.
A calibration method using a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and an advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) diagnostic scanner in communication with the processor, the method comprising:
- (a) generating a technician output in response to receiving a technician input via a technician device, where the technician device is in communication with the processor;
- (b) controlling the diagnostic scanner to calibrate an ADAS of a vehicle having a vehicle identifier, wherein the controlling is performed as a function of the technician input, and wherein the calibration produces output from the diagnostic scanner;
- and
- (c) storing a repair history in the memory, where the repair history comprises the vehicle identifier, the technician input, and the output from the diagnostic scanner.
