SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESSLY PERFORMING SOFTWARE-BASED TASKS ON VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028391 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESSLY PERFORMING SOFTWARE-BASED TASKS ON VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for testing and configuring one or more vehicles. The system includes a task communication module that receives a task data packet containing a selected software-based task to be performed on a selected vehicle. The task command identifier in the packet identifies the task to be performed.
The system also includes a command matching module that selects a predefined task command from a set of stored task commands based on the task command identifier. The predefined task command can either execute a selected standardized protocol or a selected customized protocol to perform the task.
Furthermore, the system includes a command execution module that executes the selected standardized protocol if the predefined task command is the selected standard protocol. If the predefined task command is the selected customized protocol, the command execution module employs a selected script file containing a set of customizable instructions to execute the selected customized protocol.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Testing and configuring vehicles in manufacturing plants or service centers.
- Remote testing and configuration of vehicles in real-time.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Streamlining the process of testing and configuring vehicles by automating tasks.
- Ensuring consistency and accuracy in executing standardized protocols.
- Allowing flexibility in executing customized protocols.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased efficiency and productivity in testing and configuring vehicles.
- Reduction in human error during the testing and configuration process.
- Ability to perform remote testing and configuration, saving time and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for testing-configuring one or more vehicles includes a task communication module obtaining a task data packet having a selected software-based task to be performed on a selected vehicle, where a task command identifier identifying the task, a command matching module selecting a predefined task command from among a set of stored task commands based on the task command identifier where the predefined task command executes either a selected standardized protocol (i.e., a set of locally stored instructions) or a selected customized protocol to perform the task (i.e., a set of bypass instructions to retrieve a selected script file having a set of customizable instructions), and a command execution module executing the selected standard protocol in response to the predefined task command being the selected standard protocol, and executing the selected customized protocol employing the selected script file based on the predefined task command being the selected customized protocol.
