COMPUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281771 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 the level of deterioration of the components in the vehicles.
• It then selects a pair of vehicles for component exchange based on the requests and the degree of deterioration.
• The system identifies which specific parts need to be exchanged in the selected pair of vehicles, considering the level of deterioration of the components.

Key Features and Innovation:

• Automated system for managing component exchanges between vehicles.
• Utilizes degree of deterioration to determine which components need to be exchanged.
• Efficient selection process for identifying vehicles and components for exchange.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for optimizing maintenance and repair processes by facilitating component exchanges between vehicles.

Problems Solved:

• Streamlines the process of identifying vehicles and components for exchange.
• Improves maintenance efficiency by focusing on components with higher levels of deterioration.

Benefits:

• Reduces maintenance costs by targeting specific components for exchange.
• Enhances vehicle performance and longevity by ensuring timely component replacements.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive repair shops, fleet management companies, and vehicle manufacturers looking to optimize maintenance processes.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine the degree of deterioration of components in vehicles? 2. What criteria are used to select the pair of vehicles for component exchange?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle maintenance technology and automated systems for component exchanges 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.
