[0025] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Automobile diagnostic equipment refers to mechanical equipment that can quickly and accurately check the technical conditions of automobiles, assemblies and mechanisms and draw reliable conclusions without disassembling them. With the increasing variety and functions of automobiles, higher requirements are also put forward for automobile diagnostic equipment. The software in automobile diagnostic equipment is the key to assisting automobile diagnostic equipment in realizing diagnostic functions, so the configuration of software is particularly critical for automobile diagnostic equipment.

[0027] Usually, the hardware and software of automotive diagnostic equipment are packaged together when they leave the factory, and a set of equipment with a fixed price and product type is delivered to dealers. On the one hand, if dealers have different product needs, they need to place multiple orders for different types of diagnostic products. If dealers need to stock up, they need to place small orders for each product. On the other hand, there is little room for price changes in product sales. However, as market competition becomes increasingly fierce, differentiated sales and cost control are imperative. Therefore, how to sell hardware and software separately is a problem to be solved.

[0028] Based on this, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring software of an automobile diagnostic device, the method comprising steps S110 - S120 .

[0029] In step S110, based on the purpose of the software package, the configuration classification of the software package is defined, for example, configuration upgrade software package, vehicle model software package, super remote diagnosis service, etc.

[0030] In step S120, a first software service package is configured based on the software package. The first software service package is used to realize the functions of the automobile diagnostic device. The first software service package includes one or more software packages of configuration classification. The automobile diagnostic device is packaged separately from the first software service package. For example, the first software service package can be named diagnostic software combination package A, in which the software packages can include configuration upgrade software packages, vehicle model software packages, etc. The software packages in the first software service package can be freely combined, so differentiated software package combination configurations can be formed according to customer needs. The automobile diagnostic device can be packaged separately from the first software service package, so the automobile diagnostic device can be sold separately from the first software service package, and different first software service packages can have different pricing.

[0031] Based on the present application, software packages of different configuration classifications can be used to form a first software service package for realizing the functions of the automobile diagnostic device. The first software service package can be packaged separately from the automobile diagnostic device, so that the software and hardware can be sold separately based on the first software service package, which helps to meet the differentiated needs of users and realize a more flexible sales strategy.

[0032] Optionally, the price of the first software service package can be determined based on the configuration classification of the software package in the first software service package. Different configuration classifications of the software packages correspond to different functions, so different prices can be set. Based on the first software service package, the software corresponding to the automobile diagnostic device is no longer fixed, so the pricing and sales strategy of the software can also be more flexible.

[0033] Optionally, the first software service package can be activated or upgraded based on the first point card. Different first software service packages can be associated with different point cards, for example, diagnostic software service package A is associated with 100 point cards. When the user uses the first point card to activate or upgrade the first software service package, the software management background of the automotive diagnostic device can upgrade or activate the software package configured in the service package for the service package associated with the point card input by the user. Therefore, based on the first point card, the activation or upgrade of the first software service package can be made more convenient.

[0034] Furthermore, the first point card can be used for online or offline sales. That is, the sales of the first software service package may not rely on the first software service package itself, but on the form of the first point card. For example, users can purchase point cards corresponding to different first software service packages offline or online, so that they can obtain software services based on the point cards. Based on this, it is helpful to improve the sales efficiency of automobile diagnostic equipment software and optimize channel sales methods.

[0035] It is worth noting that the software configuration method of the above-mentioned automobile diagnostic equipment can be implemented based on the software management platform. Figure 2 This is illustrated with examples. Figure 2As shown, the method may include steps S1-S5.

[0036] S1. Log in to the software management platform. For example, the software management platform can be an application (APP) on a mobile phone, tablet or computer.

[0037] S2. Through configuration classification management, different sales software packages are defined by configuration, such as configuration upgrade software package, vehicle model software package, super remote diagnosis service, etc. Then each software package is defined as a configuration category.

[0038] S3. Add a service package and define a package name for the service package. For example, diagnostic software package A, diagnostic software package B, etc. Then, configure the software packages that need to be activated and upgraded under a certain service package. When adding each software package, select different software package categories, and you can freely combine them. For example, diagnostic software package A, the corresponding software packages below include configuration upgrades and vehicle model software packages; diagnostic software package B corresponds to vehicle model software packages and super remote diagnostic services. In this case, the service package is established, forming a differentiated software package combination configuration, and you only need to set prices and sell different service packages.

[0039] S4. Associate different service packages to generate point cards. After the service package is defined, it needs to be sold to customers in the form of point cards for activation. At this time, different service package configurations need to be associated to generate point cards. For example, if diagnostic software service package A is associated to generate 100 point cards, then these 100 virtual point cards can be sold to users online or offline.

[0040] S5. Use the point card to upgrade the software configured under the service package. After the user gets the point card, he opens the tablet device, registers the user, and enters the corresponding card number and card password when choosing to activate the device. Then, the software management background can upgrade the software configured under the service package for the service package associated with the point card entered by the user. At this point, the sales of the software service package corresponding to the automotive diagnostic equipment are completed.

[0041] Based on this application, the problems of dealers' stocking and small variable space for sales prices can be solved. By subcontracting hardware and software for shipment, dealers only need to order sufficient hardware products at one time, and through sales strategies, order different software combinations and price-differentiated solutions to users, thereby improving delivery speed and sales efficiency.

The automobile diagnostic device is packaged separately from the first software service package.

[0046] Optionally, the price of the first software service package is determined based on the configuration classification of the software packages in the first software service package. Based on the first software service package, the software corresponding to the automobile diagnostic device is no longer fixed, so the pricing and sales strategy of the software can also be more flexible.

[0047] Optionally, the first software service package is activated or upgraded based on the first point card. Based on the first point card, the activation or upgrade of the first software service package can be made more convenient.
