Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for recognizing damage data of a vehicle damaged by an accident or mischief.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when repairing a vehicle damaged by an accident or mischief, a frontman or the like at a service factory or the like specifies the location and range of repair, selects parts involved in the repair, and performs repairs. Calculates wages for the mechanics to be performed and prepares work instructions or quotations.

[0003] In order to shorten the time required to specify parts required for repair and to calculate the price of the parts, a CD is required.
-A repair estimate creation system by computer processing using a parts database or the like supplied from a storage medium such as a ROM has been used.

[0004]

By using such a repair quotation creating system, it is possible to certainly shorten the time required to create a quotation and a work instruction, but it is necessary to select each work item and replace parts. Since the specification and the like often depend on the judgment of the frontman or the like, the time required for creation often differs greatly depending on the practical experience of the estimation worker.

[0005] Here, the creation of a quote or a work instruction, whether a manual or a computer estimation system is used, starts from the work of specifying the damaged position, damaged area, damage degree, etc. of the vehicle. However, these operations are often performed based on intuition based on the experience of a skilled estimation operator.

In other words, in the case where the damaged part is replaced by an assembly, it is sometimes relatively easy to prepare an estimate or the like. Since the difficulty of the work and the work time vary depending on the damaged area or the degree of the damage, it is difficult for a skilled worker to prepare an accurate estimate or the like.

[0007] In addition, an inexperienced estimating operator may perform a rough specifying operation based only on visual observation, and it is difficult to specify an accurate damage even if time and labor are required.

Further, even a skilled estimating operator, for example, in the calculation of the painting cost, is based on a complicated regularized index which varies depending on the damage position and the degree of damage, so that the estimation in a quantitative form can be performed in a short time. Was difficult to do.

[0009] As described above, since the user who has been presented with the quote or the like requires a high level of expertise in the creation of the quote itself, the user is required to inspect or change the quote as a result of the quote. Was not something I could do.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its technical object to provide a vehicle damage data recognition system for easily and accurately specifying the type of damage. Another technical object is to provide a system for easily estimating repair costs or instructing repair contents based on the specified damage data.

It is another technical object of the present invention to provide a system in which a person who does not have specialized knowledge (for example, a user who receives a quote or the like) can easily evaluate the contents of a quote.

[0012]

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is,
The vehicle damage data recognition system of the present invention includes an input device for inputting repair vehicle data of the repair target vehicle, a storage device for storing vehicle attribute data, and a plurality of sign data corresponding to types of damage, and A display device for displaying, from the vehicle attribute data stored in advance, searching for vehicle attribute data corresponding to the input repaired vehicle data, and on the vehicle attribute data displayed on the display device, or on the repaired vehicle data.

Here, not only the replacement but also the cost of the repair can be displayed at the same time. It is also possible to specify whether a new genuine part or a used genuine part is used for a replacement part.

In addition, by registering a plurality of correction and replacement courses assuming from the viewpoint of a repair specialist by incorporating the user's wishes in advance and selecting these at appropriate times, the cost can be calculated according to the course contents. Can be.

For example, an economy course for estimating taking into account the desire that the vehicle price is so low that the user does not want to make a large amount of correction or the like, a request for a modification or replacement like a new car, or a luxury Since it is a car, it is possible to arbitrarily set a supercourse or the like that incorporates a desire to be thorough, and to make an estimate according to the course.

In each of the above examples, the course is set in accordance with the content of the correction and replacement. However, the course is set in accordance with the cost, for example, if the repair is desired within the total range of 200,000 yen, Course setting for each cost such as how much it may cost, whether there is a substitute lending vehicle during modification and replacement work, and maintenance and inspection of specified vehicles along with correction and replacement work are also options. The course setting and the like using the vehicle repair instruction system according to the present embodiment can be utilized as a system that responds to more detailed needs as a course setting corresponding to various service systems that can be provided to the vehicle user.

When the specification and the like are completed, all the costs related to the replacement are integrated and displayed on the display device 6. For example, when replacing hoods, if the lever rate, which is the work wage per unit time, is set at 7,000 yen, this will be multiplied by an index 0.70 corresponding to the difficulty of work, and the technical fee will be 4,900 yen. The price of the parts to be replaced is 41,900 yen for the hood, and the total of these is 46,800.
It becomes a circle.

Next, for coating, the lever rate was set to 7,000.
If the price is set to a circle, this is multiplied by the index 4.90 to give a technical fee of 34,300 yen, the cost of the paint is 4,190 yen, and the total of these is 38,490 yen. Therefore, the total cost of replacement is 85,290 yen.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the total amount of money required for repairing the hood 6b is displayed, as well as the repair course, the working time, and the number of days to be kept. In the first embodiment, the cost for repairing the bonnet 6b is set at a lever rate of 7,000 yen, which is indexed to 3.1.
5, the technical fee is 22,050 yen, the cost of the hood 6b is 41,900 yen, and the total amount of the technical fee and the component fee is 68,140 yen.
