The processor can then communicate with the vehicle's CAN bus via the selected CAN bus transceiver. | 2020-04-30 |
20200134933 | Method and System for Annotating Graphs of Vehicle Data - An example method includes receiving, at a computing system, a first user input from a user interface during operation of a vehicle and responsive to receiving the first user input, determining a time of reception for the first user input. The method further includes receiving a first set of parameters from the vehicle that correspond to a first parameter identifier (PID). The method also includes determining a time of reception for each parameter, and based on the time of reception for the first user input and the time of reception for each parameter of the first set of parameters, determining a first temporal position for an indicator configured to represent the first user input on a graph of the parameters corresponding to the first PID. The method further includes displaying, on a display interface, the graph of the parameters corresponding to the first PID with the indicator in the first temporal position. | 2020-04-30 |

20200134935 | METHOD FOR CAPTURING A STATE OF A PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING THE PRODUCT AND A DATA NETWORK THEREFOR - A method, for capturing a state of a product using a capture unit associated with the product, includes receiving with the capture unit at least one of an identification of the product and an identification of the capture unit. The identification is stored in a memory of the capture unit. At least one measured value is recorded using at least one sensor of the capture unit, and stored in the memory of the capture unit. An output signal including at least the identification and the at least one measured value is outputted to a reading unit using the capture unit. | 2020-04-30 |
20200134936 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - In an information processing device, an acquisition unit acquires information on a position of an occupant from a vehicle that has caused an accident. A reception unit receives a manipulation input from an operator. A determination unit determines directivity of a microphone in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle based on the manipulation input received by the reception unit. | 2020-04-30 |
20200134937 | VEHICLE-MOUNTED COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE, LOG COLLECTION METHOD, AND LOG COLLECTION PROGRAM - An on-vehicle communication device capable of relaying data between a plurality of function units mounted on a vehicle includes: a log notification acquisition unit configured to receive, from an external device outside the vehicle, a log notification indicating a log target function unit which is the function unit that is a target of log collection, a start condition for log collection, and a trigger function unit which is the function unit capable of determination for the start condition; a notification unit configured to notify the trigger function unit of the start condition indicated by the log notification; and a command unit configured to give a command for log collection to the log target function unit, in response to a notification that the start condition is satisfied from the trigger function unit. | 2020-04-30 |
20200134938 | AXLE-MONITORING SYSTEM OF A CHASSIS OF A UTILITY VEHICLE AND USE OF AN AXLE-MONITORING SYSTEM - The present invention relates to an axle-monitoring system of a chassis of a utility vehicle for acquiring data on at least one axle of the chassis, wherein at least one sensor for acquiring at least one physical variable is arranged on the at least one axle, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to acquire a multiplicity of different physical variables, and to the use of an axle-monitoring system. | 2020-04-30 |
