Remote Vehicle Calibration Database for Multi-Vehicle Synchronization

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that centralizes calibration data storage and management. The server receives calibration data from multiple responders (vehicles), stores it in a calibration database, and distributes it to requesters (calibration devices). This intermediary architecture enables multi-vehicle calibration coordination without requiring direct peer-to-peer communication between all components, thus improving calibration efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity.

The calibration system is designed with universal components that can serve multiple functions. The server handles data collection, storage, distribution, and coordination for multiple vehicles simultaneously. The calibration database serves as a universal repository for all calibration data. This multi-functionality allows the system to efficiently handle calibration operations across multiple locations and vehicles using a unified platform, thereby improving productivity without proportionally increasing complexity.

The patent implements a centralized calibration database that stores calibration data which can be copied and distributed to multiple vehicles. Instead of developing separate calibration programs for each vehicle, the system creates a master calibration dataset that can be replicated and applied across multiple responders. This copying mechanism preserves calibration accuracy by ensuring consistent data quality while dramatically reducing development time, as the calibration logic is developed once and then distributed to all vehicles through the server.

The system performs preliminary calibration data collection and processing centrally before distribution to individual vehicles. The server pre-processes calibration data, validates it, and stores it in the calibration database in advance. When calibration is needed at any location, the pre-processed data is already available for immediate deployment. This preliminary action eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site calibration development while maintaining accuracy through centralized quality control.

The patent merges calibration data from multiple sources and locations into a unified calibration database on the server. All responders (vehicles) send their calibration data to the server, which consolidates it in the database. Requesters can then access and fuse this combined data set. This merging process ensures that no calibration information is lost and enables comprehensive data fusion across all locations, while the centralized architecture maintains calibration flexibility by allowing any authorized requester to access the unified data.

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously receives calibration data from responders, updates the calibration database, and notifies requesters of available data. This feedback loop ensures that all participants in the calibration network have access to the most current calibration information. The feedback mechanism prevents information loss by ensuring data consistency across the distributed system while maintaining the flexibility needed for remote calibration operations.
