A customer driven process of diagnosing and repairing a vehicle. The process involves temporarily providing a customer with a diagnostic tool that can receive vehicle diagnostic signals from a vehicle on-board computer. The customer then uses the tool to upload diagnostic signals from the car, and returns the tool to the automotive parts / service facility. The vehicle diagnostic signals are communicated to a console, which then accesses a database(s). The database(s) includes information relating to the vehicle malfunction, the repairs needed, and the parts required to complete those repairs. The process also allows automatic scheduling of repairs and purchasing of parts from the automotive parts / service facility. Upon payment of any prescribed fees, the process outputs report information to the customer.

A method and apparatus for servicing a vehicle component that includes contacting a remote service center through a telematic module. The method and apparatus also includes diagnosing remotely a vehicle issue and servicing remotely said vehicle issue. Remotely servicing the vehicle saves cost and time when compared to bringing the vehicle to a vehicle service facility.

Radio transponder encoded with serial number linked to a vehicle's VIN is installed in a vehicle prior to retail sale. When vehicle is brought in for service, the presence of vehicle at the service facility is detected, and checked against a database of recalls, recall repairs completed, state consumer protection Lemon Laws, and service history. This information is stored within a database that can be viewed via the Internet. Electronic alerts can be automatically generated indicating when vehicle is in service and which recall repairs are to be performed, and if Lemon Law limits being approached or exceeded. The system helps ensure that recall repairs are completed and the manufacturer can get involved before consumer remedies are triggered. The system allows lenders to conduct collateral floorchecks remotely and detect irregular business practices, and allows dealers to locate and manage inventory, conduct warranty repairs, and seek warranty reimbursements.

The invention relates to a service facility for providing remote diagnostic and maintenance services to a process plant. A system for providing remote diagnostic and maintenance services to a process plant includes a database and a server, both of which are located remotely from the process plant. The database includes a plurality of applications. The server includes a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a control unit. The data collection unit collects data associated with the process plant via a communication link, such as the Internet. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data to detect a condition associated with the process plant. In response to the detected condition, the control unit automatically implements one or more of the applications by automatically executing oneor more of the applications remotely and determining parameters to be communicated to the process plant, automatically downloading one or more applications to the process plant via the Internet, and / or activating a web page that provides information for guiding an operator located at the plant in correcting the detected condition.

Modular service unit (10A) comprising a pair of elongate light fittings EACH comprising a reflector housing (14) having one or more light tubes (24). Either a bridging plate, or an intermediate housing (26), is releasably attached to or supported by adjacent longitudinal side edges (34) of each reflector housing (14), and forms a structural part of an auxiliary service facility. The auxiliary service facility can include, for example, air conditioning ducts or diffusers (17A), fire alarm detectors, fire sprinklers with flexible pipe connections, speakers, security sensors, and secondary light fittings. A plurality of modular service units may be incorporated in a suspended ceiling.

The invention provides a multifunctional automatic service facility, which comprises a moving room, an article storage bin, a manipulator, a positioning system, a conveying system and a control system, wherein the conveying system can be used for making the moving room move or be still under the control of the control system, and moreover, can be used for making the moving room be communicated with an entrance of the multifunctional automatic service facility; the positioning system can be used for positioning the directions and the positions of the moving room and the manipulator and transmitting positioning information to the control system; the moving room is provided with a manipulator passage; the control system can be used for controlling the manipulator to move an article from the article storage bin, and placing the article in the moving room through the manipulator passage. According to the multifunctional automatic service facility, the conveying system is controlled to move the moving room through the control system; the positioning system is used for positioning and feeding back a positioning signal to the control system; moreover, the manipulator is used for taking the article from the article storage bin to decorate the moving room, so that the moving room has different types of service contents; the problems that a facility is vacant and is inconvenient to redecorate are solved.

The invention discloses a resource provision method for the problem of service composition in a cloud-integrated wireless-fiber hybrid access network, which includes three stages. The first stage: Decompose the comprehensive service request into a variety of basic services, collect the user's comprehensive service request, the price issued by each service facility, the total amount of resources, and the basic consumption of basic services per unit, and aim at the minimum cost for users according to the market mechanism Construct an auction model; the second stage: design an algorithm based on the auction model, find out the resource provision plan and the corresponding unit basic service pricing strategy that achieves the minimum user cost; the third stage: verify that the designed algorithm has incentive compatibility and time complexity low-level features. The present invention plans the interaction between service facilities and users into an auction model, enabling users to obtain services at a minimum cost, and at the same time allowing service facilities to actively participate in cloud services after receiving certain rewards, thereby providing users with various cloud services more efficiently.

An MSP platform provides contingent healthcare worker recruiting and shift assignation in a multilayered process of job order broadcasting, competency matching, proposals from healthcare agencies aka vendors, screening, compliance management, and onboard of each candidate. Each staff profile submitted has to go through multilayered review, approval, and orientation process. Additionally, each healthcare worker's calendar, credential, and compliance have to be managed across multiple employers to prevent scheduling conflict and compliance violations, and guaranteeing full visibility of all healthcare workers across the entire supply chain. MSPs (Managed Service Providers) have the ability to service a large number of facilities on whose behalf the MSPs generate job orders for contingent workforce, and manage fulfillment using suppliers (aka vendors) mapped to the facility being serviced. The supplier ecosystem is a cohesive block that may be shared across all MSPs, and several such MSP ecosystems should be allowed to coexist in the system. Suppliers can be tiered by geography allowing a large vendor network to track demand from one or more healthcare facilities across a single location or a group of vendor locations. Additionally, a facility that is part of an MSP should also be able to work directly with all suppliers either in conjunction with or independent of an MSP. Both long term assignments referred to as ‘Travel’ position, and on-demand shift assignments referred to as ‘Day-to-day’ position are serviceable under this centrally available software commonly referred to as ‘Software as a Service’.
