## Abstract

Provided is a vehicle inspection management system that can improve convenience for a person engaged in periodic vehicle inspection by reflecting, in an inspection management table, failure prediction results of vehicle components. This vehicle inspection management system is provided with: a management table output unit that outputs an inspection management table on which the expiry of periodic vehicle inspection is recorded for each vehicle so as to be displayed on a display unit in response to an input instruction; a prediction unit that acquires vehicle control information and predicts failure or degradation of vehicle components; and an additional recording unit that, when the failure or the degradation of the vehicle components is predicted by the prediction unit, additionally records a special inspection recommendation item to a field where the periodic inspection expiry has been recorded.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle inspection management system, comprising:
a management table output section that outputs an inspection management table such that the inspection management table is displayed on a display section in accordance with an input command, the inspection management table recording an expiration time of a periodic inspection of a vehicle for each vehicle;
a prediction section that obtains control information on the vehicle to predict a failure or degradation of a part of the vehicle; and
an additional record section that additionally records a special inspection recommendation item in a column in which the expiration time of the periodic inspection is recorded, when the failure or degradation of the part of the vehicle is predicted by the prediction section.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle inspection management system according to claim 1, wherein
the management table output section outputs a column constituting a first period including a date at which the inspection management table is output, such that the column is displayed more largely than a column of a second period that comes after the first period.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle inspection management system according to claim 2, wherein
the additional record section additionally records the special inspection recommendation item when the prediction section predicts that the part fails or a degradation degree of the part exceeds a threshold during the second period.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vehicle inspection management system according to claim 1, wherein
the special inspection recommendation item is an icon indicative of occurrence of an item to be inspected additionally during the periodic inspection, and
the management table output section outputs information on the part such that the information is displayed on the display section when the icon is selected.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vehicle inspection management system according to claim 1, further comprising:
a management table creation section that creates the inspection management table for each user who owns a plurality of vehicles, wherein,
in response to the input command received from a terminal of the user, the management table output section transmits the inspection management table of the user to the terminal.
