INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND A NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602439 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND A NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract of this patent application describes a controller that can determine if a specific maintenance item for a vehicle is present among a list of maintenance items, and whether the maintenance corresponding to that item should be performed during a scheduled visit period or a recommended period.
- The controller acquires the scheduled visit period for a user to visit a facility for vehicle maintenance.
- It checks if a specific maintenance item falls within a recommended period that does not overlap with the scheduled visit period.
- If the specific item is present, the controller acquires information about the maintenance content of that item.
- Based on this information, it decides whether the maintenance for the specific item should be done during the scheduled visit period or the recommended period.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle maintenance scheduling - Fleet management companies for optimizing maintenance schedules - Service centers for efficient allocation of resources
Problems Solved: - Ensures timely maintenance of vehicles without overlapping with scheduled visits - Helps in prioritizing maintenance tasks based on recommended periods
Benefits: - Prevents delays in maintenance tasks - Optimizes resource allocation for maintenance - Improves overall efficiency in vehicle maintenance processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Vehicle Maintenance Scheduling System" This technology can be used by automotive service centers, fleet management companies, and vehicle manufacturers to streamline maintenance processes, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.
Questions about Vehicle Maintenance Scheduling System: 1. How does the controller determine the recommended period for maintenance tasks? The controller calculates the recommended period based on the scheduled visit period and the maintenance content of the specific item.
2. Can the system handle multiple maintenance items with different recommended periods efficiently? Yes, the controller can manage multiple maintenance items and their recommended periods to optimize the maintenance schedule effectively.
Original Abstract Submitted
A controller is configured to acquire a scheduled visit period in which a user is scheduled to visit a facility at which the user is able to have a vehicle maintained. The controller is configured to determine whether a specific item is present among a plurality of maintenance items for the vehicle. The specific item is a maintenance item for which a recommended period in which it is recommended to have the vehicle maintained is included within a predetermined period that includes the scheduled visit period. The recommended period is a period that does not overlap the scheduled visit period. The controller is configured to: acquire item information about a maintenance content of the specific item when the specific item is present; and determine, based on the item information, whether maintenance corresponding to the specific item is to be performed in the scheduled visit period or in the recommended period.
