COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RELAY DEVICE, AND DIAGNOSIS TARGET DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485559 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RELAY DEVICE, AND DIAGNOSIS TARGET DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The communication system described in the patent application involves a relay device and a diagnosis target device connected via a bus. The relay device has a port for connecting a diagnostic tool, and when the diagnosis target device receives specific data that seems to come from the diagnostic tool, it sends an inquiry signal to the relay device to ask for a monitoring result. The relay device then determines if the specific data is legitimate and sends the monitoring result back to the diagnosis target device.

  • Relay device with a port for connecting a diagnostic tool
  • Diagnosis target device connected to relay device via a bus
  • Inquiry signal sent by diagnosis target device to relay device for monitoring result
  • Relay device determines legitimacy of specific data and sends monitoring result back

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in automotive diagnostics, industrial machinery monitoring, and medical device testing.

Problems Solved

This technology helps ensure the authenticity of data coming from diagnostic tools, preventing false readings and inaccurate diagnoses.

Benefits

The system provides a reliable way to verify the source of diagnostic data, leading to more accurate assessments and timely interventions.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications could include diagnostic equipment for various industries, software development for data monitoring, and quality control systems.

Possible Prior Art

Similar technologies may exist in the field of data security and verification, but this specific combination of relay device and diagnosis target device for monitoring data may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact data privacy and security?

This technology could potentially enhance data security by ensuring that only legitimate data from authorized diagnostic tools is used for monitoring and analysis.

What are the potential limitations of this system in terms of scalability and compatibility with different types of diagnostic tools?

The system may face challenges in scaling up for use with a large number of diagnostic tools or in integrating with tools from different manufacturers due to compatibility issues.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system includes a relay device and a diagnosis target device. The relay device includes a port configured to connect a diagnostic tool. The diagnosis target device is connected to the relay device via a bus. When the diagnosis target device has received specific data whose source appears to be the diagnostic tool, the diagnosis target device sends an inquiry signal for inquiring of the relay device about a monitoring result for the specific data. The relay device determines in response to the inquiry signal whether the specific data is legitimate data from the diagnostic tool. The relay device sends the monitoring result including a determination result to the diagnosis target device.
