Abstract
Description
1 TARIFF A VEHICLE MAINTENANCE HISTORY TRACKING SYSTEM Technical Area This invention is related to near field communication (NFC) technology. using vehicle maintenance and service history tracking and management It is related to a system that provides. Previous Tech 10 One of the biggest challenges in the used car market is the reliability of the vehicles. and verification of maintenance history. Potential buyers typically look for a vehicle in this way. They are facing uncertainty regarding their actual status and service history, and This situation affects purchasing decisions and trust between buyers and sellers. It can affect the documentation and sharing of service records. Traditional methods are prone to errors or can be easily falsified. The lack of transparent and easily accessible maintenance history can lead to misunderstandings for buyers. This can lead to misunderstandings, disagreements, and potential financial risks. Therefore, near field communication technology (NFC) using vehicle maintenance and service history tracking and management and thus providing buyers with verifiable information about a vehicle's maintenance history. It appears that a system is needed to facilitate its presentation. Korean patent KR20130089964A, which falls under the prior art. the document mentions the personnel service system with an NFC tag integrated into the vehicle. It is mentioned that the invention described in the patent document is an NFC-enabled device. a device that provides various pieces of information by scanning a tag attached to a vehicle using a smartphone It relates to the personal service method and system. The system works via NFC with the police, gasoline 30 station employees, vehicle users, repair shops, and parking area managers, for example. 2 By scanning the tag placed on the vehicle, interested parties can access personal information about the vehicle. This allows them to access information such as vehicle registration and driver details by scanning a vehicle tag. They can access the information. Brief Description of the Invention 5 The purpose of this invention is near field communication technology. Tracking vehicle maintenance and service history using NFC and The goal is to create a system that enables its management. Detailed Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention was achieved through "Tracking a Vehicle Maintenance History". The "System" is shown in the attached figures; these figures are: Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the system that is the subject of the invention. The parts shown in the figures are individually numbered, and these numbers... The corresponding answers are given below. 1. System 2. Electronic device 3. Service application 4. User application 5. Database 25 6. Server Tracking vehicle maintenance and service history using near-field communication technology. a system that enables the management and administration (1); -30 vehicles that have at least one camera capable of capturing images of NFC tags on the vehicle. exchanging data using any remote communication protocol. 3 to carry out and at least run an application on it at least one electronic device configured (2), - carried out on electronic devices (2) and at least by service authorized users The work done on a vehicle undergoing maintenance and / or service, the parts replaced. 5 To enable them to record data in this format along with date information. at least one configured service application (3), -contains vehicle maintenance and service data, along with an NFC tag associated with the vehicle and its history. at least one database (4) structured to keep records together with -electronic devices (2) are run on and at least users' electronic By triggering the camera located on the device (2), the NFC 10 in the vehicles to be able to read the tags, a database (4) for the read NFC tag by performing a query, accessing service and maintenance records related to the vehicle, to retrieve data and display relevant past service and maintenance records to users. It includes at least one user application (5) configured for this purpose. The electronic device (2) included in the system (1) which is the subject of the invention, has at least one smartphone, tablet computer, desktop configured to run application (3) It is a device in the form of a desktop or portable computer. The device in question... electronic device (2) speakers that provide sound output, image reception capability It has at least one camera and an input device in the form of a keypad or touchscreen. has. Electronic device (2) users service application (3) and user It is configured to enable them to access the application (5). The service application (3) electronic device (2) included in the system (1) which is the subject of the invention It is being carried out and the service representative users have defined 25 By logging in with the information, you can access service and / or maintenance records for vehicles. to enable them to log in and / or update existing information It is being configured. The service application (3) uses the information entered by the user. Date information associated with an NFC tag attached to the vehicle. It is configured to save to the database (4). 30 4 The invention includes the database (4), service application (3) and user in the system (1). to communicate with application (5) and share data It is structured. Which vehicles are included in the database (4) in question? information about the operations performed, which parts were replaced, part details, and findings. Service and maintenance data, including malfunctions, are recorded using an NFC tag and the date 5 in the vehicle. to keep records in a way that is associated with the information It is being structured. User application (5) electronic device (2) in the system (1) which is the subject of the invention It is being implemented and at least access to vehicle maintenance and service information is 10 users who wish to do so can trigger the camera located on the electronic device (2) It is configured to enable users to read NFC tags. The application (5) is triggered by reading the NFC tag and the relevant NFC tag to analyze the information and perform a query within the database (4) and related It is configured to access service and maintenance data related to the vehicle. 15 User application (5) accesses service and maintenance data through an interface It is configured to be shown to users.
