METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSTICS USING INTEGRATED ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS AND OBD DATA

원문 (중국어)

Various embodiments of a method and apparatus for analyzing the health and status of a vehicle and for generating a health signature that can be used to determine whether the health and status of a vehicle has changed over time. The System comprises an OBD device aboard a vehicle. The System further comprises an acoustic sensor for collecting acoustic data. Data and acoustic detection of events associated with a vehicle are provided to a cloud based AI engine. The engine performs anomaly detection, fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of the components of the vehicle. Such components include the vehicle's engine or transmission. Analysis and diagnostics regarding other components of the vehicle might also be performed. In some embodiments, a user device running an application allows a user to trigger an analysis of a vehicle connected to the System. Data collected and either be stored as a health signature for comparison to similar data collected at a time in the future, or analyzed by the cloud based AI engine, the results of which form a health signature which is stored.
