Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Fahrzeug mit einem Schlüssel und mit abrufbaren Diagnosedaten von Ausrüstungsteilen. Derartige Fahrzeuge sind allgemein gebräuchlich. Beim Schlüssel handelt es sich um einen mechanischen und/oder elektrischen Schlüssel. Mit Hilfe des Schlüssels ist es möglich, das Fahrzeug zu ent- und verriegeln und/oder das Antriebsaggregat in Betrieb zu nehmen. Es kann sich auch um einen Fembedienungsschlüssel handeln, der eine drahtlose Codierung zu einem im Fahrzeug angeordneten Empfänger überträgt. Die Diagnose-Daten werden in der Regel in den Ausrüstungsteilen selbst erzeugt und in einem Fehlerspeicher vorgehalten. Sie dienen dazu, Fehler des bzw. der Ausrüstungsteile(s), die während des Betriebs auftreten, zu erkennen und liefern einen Hinweise auf die Ursache, beispielsweise eine schadhafte Zündkerze einer Brennkraftmaschine. Es ist üblich, diese Fehlerspeicher in einer Reparaturwerkstatt mit Hilfe eines Diagnose-Testers auszulesen. Der Diagnose-Tester ist dabei über ein Verbindungskabel mit dem Fahrzeug verbunden.The invention relates to a vehicle with a key and with retrievable Diagnostic data of equipment parts. Such vehicles are general common. The key is a mechanical and / or electric key. With the help of the key it is possible to lock the vehicle unlock and lock and / or put the drive unit into operation. It can is also a remote control key, which is a wireless coding transmits to a receiver arranged in the vehicle. The diagnostic data are usually generated in the equipment itself and in one Error memory held. They serve to correct faults of the equipment part (s), recognize and provide information that occur during operation to the cause, for example a defective spark plug of an internal combustion engine. It is common to have these fault memories in a repair shop Read out with the help of a diagnostic tester. The scan tool is about one Connection cable connected to the vehicle.

Es gibt Überlegungen, die Abfrage der Diagnosedaten drahtlos vorzunehmen. Dabei treten mehrere Schwierigkeiten auf. In Service-Werkstätten stehen in der Regel mehrere Fahrzeuge nebeneinander. Ein drahtlos übermittelter Befehl, Diagnosedaten auszulesen; führt dann dazu, daß alle Fahrzeuge, die diesen Befehl empfangen gleichzeitig und ungeordnet ihre Diagnose-Daten drahtlos ausgeben. Davon die Daten des Fahrzeugs zu erkennen, dessen Daten allein von Interesse sind, bereitet einen erheblichen Aufwand. Auch die Überlegung, die Diagnose-Daten bereits bei der Einfahrt des Fahrzeugs in den Service-Bereich abzufragen, stößt trotz technischer Machbarkeit und des Vorteils, durch einen Fachmann eine Fehleranalyse vorab durchführen zu können, auf erhebliche Akzeptanzprobleme. Der Fahrzeugbenutzer würde den Eindruck gewinnen, nicht mehr "Herr" über seine Daten zu sein und sich der Gefahr eines Datenmißbrauchs ausgesetzt sehen.There are considerations to query the diagnostic data wirelessly. there there are several difficulties. In service workshops are usually several vehicles side by side. A wireless command, diagnostic data read; then leads to all vehicles receiving this command Output their diagnostic data wirelessly and simultaneously in a disorderly manner. From that recognize the data of the vehicle, the data of which are only of interest, creates a considerable effort. Also the consideration, the diagnostic data query as soon as the vehicle enters the service area despite technical feasibility and the advantage, a fault analysis by a specialist to be able to carry out in advance on significant acceptance problems. The Vehicle users would get the impression that they were no longer "master" of his To be data and face the risk of data misuse.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Fahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art eine drahtlose Abfrage der Diagnose-Daten kontrolliert vornehmen zu können.The invention has for its object in a vehicle of the aforementioned Kind of make a wireless query of the diagnostic data in a controlled manner can.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the characterizing features of the patent claim 1.

Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist für den Fahrzeugnutzer, daß die Abfrage der Diagnose-Daten nur dann möglich ist, wenn der Schlüssel sich im Bereich der Leseeinrichtung befindet. Durch zusätzliche Mittel, beispielsweise einen im Beisein des Schlüsselinhabers betätigbaren Schalter kann die Initiierung des Dialogs zum Fahrzeug für den Fahrzeugbenutzer sichtbar gemacht werden. Die Abfrage der Diagnose-Daten erfolgt nur mit Zustimmung des Schlüsselinhaber. Diese Zustimmung wird durch ihn beispielsweise dadurch "erklärt", daß er den Schlüssel in die Leseeinrichtung einlegt. Die Durchführung des Dialogs kann zusätzlich optisch unterstützt werden, beispielsweise durch eine Bildschirmanzeige, mit der die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte angezeigt werden: Beginn des Dialogs, Abfrage der Kennung des Schlüssels, Übertragung der Kennung zum Fahrzeug, Auslesen der Diagnose-Daten und schließlich Wiedergabe der Diagnose-Daten auf dem Bildschirm.It is essential for the invention for the vehicle user that the query of the diagnostic data is only possible if the key is in the area of the reading device located. By additional means, for example one in the presence of the Key holder operated switch can initiate the dialog for Vehicle can be made visible to the vehicle user. The query of the Diagnostic data is only made with the consent of the key holder. This approval is "explained" by him, for example, by putting the key in the Reading device inserted. The implementation of the dialogue can also be visual are supported, for example by a screen display with which the individual Work steps are displayed: start of the dialog, query of the identifier of the key, transfer of the identifier to the vehicle, reading out the diagnostic data and finally displaying the diagnostic data on the screen.

Die optische Unterstützung des Dialogs ermöglicht es auch, das Ergebnis in Form der auf dem Bildschirm vorliegenden Diagnose-Daten anzuzeigen und im Beisein des Schlüsselinhabers weitergehende Arbeitsschritte zu veranlassen, beispielsweise einen Reparaturauftrag zu erstellen.The visual support of the dialogue also enables the result to be in shape display the diagnostic data on the screen and be present to initiate further work steps of the key holder, for example to create a repair order.

Eine Absicherung gegen ein Übersprechen mehrerer Fahrzeuge bei Ausgabe ihrer Diagnose-Daten kann zusätzlich verhindert werden, indem mit der Kennung ein Wechselcode übertragen wird, der beispielsweise im Rahmen einer Fembedienung eingesetzt ist. Der Wechselcode wird im Fahrzeug als richtig erkannt und bietet eine zusätzliche Sicherheit für die Ausgabe der Diagnose-Daten. Zusätzlich können die im Rahmen der Fernbedienung eingesetzten fahrzeugseitigen Sender und Empfänger auch dazu verwendet werden, die Diagnose-Daten nach Empfang der Kennung auszusenden.Protection against crosstalk from several vehicles when issued Their diagnostic data can also be prevented by using the identifier an alternating code is transmitted, for example as part of a remote control is used. The change code is recognized as correct in the vehicle and offers additional security for the output of the diagnostic data. additionally can use the vehicle-side used as part of the remote control Transmitters and receivers are also used to post diagnostic data Send receipt of the identifier.

Bei der Kennung selbst kann es sich um beispielsweise die Fahrgestellnummer oder eine Produktionsnummer des Fahrzeugs handeln.The identifier itself can be, for example, the chassis number or a production number of the vehicle.

Auf diese Weise ist eine für den Fahrzeugbenutzer stets kontrollierbare Ausgabe der Diagnose-Daten möglich.In this way, the output is always controllable for the vehicle user diagnostic data possible.
