Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a programmable on-board vehicle diagnostic system.
  • on-board diagnostic modules are apparatuses of small dimensions, which, unlike portable vehicle diagnostic instruments, are configured to be connected to a diagnostic connector installed in a vehicle in such a way as to form an integral part of the vehicle so that they can be transported thereby.
  • on-board diagnostic modules unlike traditional portable vehicle diagnostic instruments that can be connected to the vehicle for acquiring the data thereof only when the vehicle is unmoving, on-board diagnostic modules, thanks to their own integration with the vehicle, can be configured to acquire and store advantageously the vehicle data generated by the on-board computer, i.e., by the vehicle diagnostic device, also during movement of the vehicle itself.
  • OBD modules typically referred to as “OBD modules” or “E-OBD modules” or “OBD-II modules” in so far as they are configured to meet certain technical-functional specifications established by vehicle diagnostic standards known as the generic standard OBD (On-Board Diagnostic), the specific standard E-OBD (European On-Board Diagnostic) adopted in Europe, or the specific standard OBD-II, adopted in the USA.
  • OBD On-Board Diagnostic
  • E-OBD European On-Board Diagnostic
  • OBD vehicle standard and the corresponding E-OBD and OBD-II specific standards impose common technical-functional constraints regarding implementation of the communication of the vehicle data by the vehicle diagnostic systems to the external devices.
  • said constraints establish a specific geometrical distribution of the pins in the vehicle diagnostic connector, and a limited list of communication protocols that can be used for implementing exchange of vehicle data containing information on the exhaust-gas emissions by the vehicle.
  • the OBD standard and the corresponding E-OBD and OBD-II specific standards do not impose any common rule that establishes a unique association between: a type of additional vehicle data accessible by the diagnostic device; the pin of the diagnostic connector through which it is possible to access the additional vehicle data; and the type of communication protocol to be implemented in order to access the additional vehicle data through the pin itself.
  • the configurations of the vehicle diagnostic systems used by automobile manufacturers are different from one another; namely, they present different associations both as regards the function of access of the pins to the vehicle data made available by the diagnostic device and as regards the association between each pin and the communication protocol to be implemented for exchange of the data through the pin itself.
  • an on-board diagnostic module can be used only to a limited extent for accessing the additional vehicle data of specific models of vehicle, but is incompatible with acquisition of said additional vehicle data from different models of vehicle in so far as its hardware/software architecture is designed to communicate specifically with the diagnostic system of said specific model of vehicle.
  • the patent application No. US2006/0217855 A1 discloses a vehicle diagnostic system provided with an on-board computer and a portable vehicle diagnostic instrument of a traditional type, which is used outside the vehicle and is provided with a cable connected to a vehicle connector of the on-board computer so as to receive vehicle data.
  • the system comprises an adapter module, which is set between the manual portable vehicle diagnostic instrument and the vehicle connector, and is provided with a series of switches that can be controlled for appropriately switching the signals of the on-board computer onto the portable vehicle diagnostic instrument.
  • the portable vehicle diagnostic instrument described in US2006/0217855 cannot be integrated in the vehicle in such a way as to remain fixed thereto when it is moving and consequently acquires only the vehicle data when the vehicle stationary, but not when it is moving.
  • vehicle diagnostic systems communicate the vehicle data acquired by the on-board diagnostic module to a remote processing and diagnostics station, through a long-range wireless communication system, typically a telephone communication system of a GSM and/or GPRS type.
  • a long-range wireless communication system typically a telephone communication system of a GSM and/or GPRS type.
  • the long-range telephone communication system currently used requires installation of a GSM or GPRS transceiver within the on-board diagnostic module.
  • US 2008 015 748 discloses a system and method to extract, monitor, analyze, and send data from a vehicle interface module (VIM) coupled to one or more vehicular electronic devices; transmitting vehicle and geographic location data to a handheld device and forwarding the data to a web server over a wide area network; and publishing the data for viewing by end users or for programmatic access by software applications.
  • VIP vehicle interface module
  • US 2006 217 855 discloses a integrated circuit vehicle diagnostics interface adapter including a semiconductor substrate with two integral gateway conductors.
  • US 2006 122 746 discloses a method for updating vehicle diagnostics software via a telematics unit being based on the occurrence of a service event as detected by the telematics unit.
  • US 2008 103 652 discloses an apparatus and method that allow a scan tool to communicate with a data link connector in a vehicle.
  • US 2006 101 311 discloses an hand-held diagnostic tool which is designed to operate and easily upgrade software applications developed for automotive diagnostics.
  • US 2007 100 520 discloses a technical information management device including an information manager, a data manager, a user interface builder, and a vehicle technical information database.
  • the aim of the present invention is consequently to provide a system that on the one hand will enable reduction of costs and overall dimensions of the on-board diagnostic module associated to the use of a GSM or GPRS transceiver, and on the other will enable programming, each time, of the on-board diagnostic module according to the vehicle diagnostic system on which it is to be installed.
