COMPUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18423739 titled 'COMPUTER

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a computer system that facilitates the exchange of components between vehicles based on their degree of deterioration.

• The controller of the computer acquires requests for component exchanges and determines which vehicles should exchange parts based on the requests and the degree of deterioration of their components.
• It then selects specific parts to be exchanged in the pair of vehicles, considering the level of deterioration of the components.

Key Features and Innovation:

• Automated system for exchanging components between vehicles based on requests and degree of deterioration.
• Selection of specific parts for exchange based on the condition of the components.

Potential Applications:

This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for efficient component exchanges between vehicles.

Problems Solved:

• Streamlines the process of exchanging components between vehicles.
• Ensures that the exchanged parts are of similar condition.

Benefits:

• Increases efficiency in component exchanges.
• Helps maintain the overall quality of vehicles.

Commercial Applications:

Potential commercial applications include automotive repair shops, car dealerships, and vehicle maintenance services. This technology could improve the efficiency and accuracy of component exchanges in these settings.

Questions about Vehicle Component Exchange:

1. How does the computer system determine which vehicles should exchange components? 2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in the automotive industry?

Original Abstract Submitted

A computer according to the present disclosure includes a controller configured to acquire requests to exchange components of vehicles, acquire degree of deterioration of the components with which the vehicles are equipped, select a pair of vehicles whose components are to be exchanged based on the requests, and determine second parts to be exchanged in the pair among first parts composing the components based on the degree of deterioration.
