Abstract
A method of and system for dynamically preparing an image-based repair plan for a damaged motor vehicle and for preparing an interactive repair that includes an image of the vehicle, as well as metadata that have been tagged onto the image, for use by repair technicians.
Claims12
An interactive image-based repair plan for use on a user interface by at least one repair technician to repair a damaged motor vehicle, the repair plan comprising:
- an image of a motor vehicle that includes repair procedures from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM);
- and
- metadata tagging that overlays the OEM repair procedures.
A method of dynamically preparing an image-based repair plan for repairing a damaged vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating, by a mapping engine, an interactive image of a motor vehicle that includes OEM repair procedures;
- rendering, by the mapping engine, the image on a user interface;
- and
- overlaying, by a tagging engine, the image with metadata to enhance the OEM repair procedures.
A system for dynamically preparing an image-based repair plan for repairing a damaged vehicle, the system comprising:
- a mapping engine structured and arranged to render OEM repair procedures on an image of a motor vehicle on a user interface;
- a tagging engine configured to overlay the OEM repair procedures with repair enhancing metadata;
- an analytics engine adapted to perform calculations and analyses on all data collected by the system;
- a decision support engine adapted to perform at least one of augmented or predictive repair planning;
- an experience and configuration engine adapted to provide data on at least one of:
- a level of technical experience of at least one repair technician or
- established parameters for the repair of the damaged vehicle;
- and
- a procedure content engine adapted to ingest and update repair procedures.
