System and method for collecting vehicle data and diagnosing the vehicle, and method for automatically setting the vehicle convenience apparatus using smart card

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for collecting vehicle data and diagnosing the vehicle, and method for automatically setting the vehicle convenience apparatus using smartcard so as to settle the problem of the existing arbitrary vehicle care and maintenance. The system of the present invention comprises a smartcard which includes vehicle-related data comprising the vehicle basic information data and vehicle maintenance information data, a smartcard control unit (SCU) which is connected to an electronic controller, mechanical controller, and sensors inside the vehicle and collects information from the vehicle, reads the vehicle-related data from the smartcard, or records the information collected from the vehicle in smartcard, a terminal unit which reads the vehicle-related data from the smartcard and diagnoses the vehicle, and stores its result in the smartcard.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Applications 2001-48378 and 2001-73195, and relates to a system for vehicle diagnosis and management using a smart card. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle diagnosis system and method capable of collecting data occurring in a vehicle by using a smart card and a smart card control unit, and reading the collected vehicle-related data online or offline, thereby performing vehicle diagnosis, and also relates to A method of automatically configuring driver convenience devices in a vehicle using a smart card. Background technique [0002] Existing vehicle maintenance and management has inherently many unsystematic and arbitrary aspects. The driver relies on his own vehicle-related knowledge about various normal and abnormal operations of the vehicle, or is able to judge the vehicle by checking the engine warning light displayed on the instrument panel transmitted from the vehicle...
