Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the cost of operating a vehicle over a defined period of time. The method proceeds by establishing, on a database, a schedule of anticipated future repairs for a plurality of vehicle types, the repair schedule including the cost of the repairs and the approximate mileage at which the anticipated future repair(s) are expected to become necessary. A processor, in communication with the database, receives information identifying a particular of vehicle, and the present mileage associated with that particular vehicle. Using the vehicle type information, the vehicle's present mileage information and the repair schedule, the processor then computes the approximate total future repair costs for maintaining the vehicle over a defined period of time.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the status of a vehicle utilizing a monitoring unit and a receiver unit. The monitoring unit is operatively connectable to the vehicle via a diagnostic port and detects the voltage output by the vehicle's battery when the vehicle's engine is turned on and off, and voltage output by the alternator while the engine is running. From these voltage measurements, the monitoring unit determine the operational status of the vehicle's battery and alternator by comparison to predefined criteria, such as optimal voltage ranges or a threshold minimum voltage. When the monitoring unit detects that the vehicle's battery or alternator may be malfunctioning, a signal indicating a malfunction is transmitted to the receiver unit, for example the driver's cellular phone, which will generate a warning notification alerting the operator to the existence and component responsible for the malfunction.

Abstract: A system which utilizes the on-board capabilities of handheld communication devices, such as smartphones, tablet computers and the like, to detect the operational status of a vehicle, such as the engine being ON, the engine idling, the vehicle moving, etc. The detected operational state may be desirable for monitoring operation of the vehicle, such as fleet management systems, wherein the duration and location of idling are of particular interest. The detected operational state may also be useful for controlling functionality on the handheld communication device, such as disabling texting or other manually operated functions when the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: There is provided a device, system, and method for generating vehicle-specific diagnostic reset procedures using a data signal representative of vehicle identifying information. Diagnostic reset procedures corresponding to a vehicle are generated in response to converting vehicle identifying information into a data signal representative of the vehicle's VIN or license plate number, and matching the data signal with corresponding reset procedures stored in a reset procedure database. The vehicle-specific reset procedure(s) may be displayed on a mobile communication device, such as a smart phone, for instructing the user to manually perform the corresponding reset procedure(s). Alternatively, the corresponding reset procedure(s) may be communicated directly to the vehicle's electronic control unit for electronically implementing the corresponding reset procedure(s).

Abstract: A system for locating a vehicle using a monitoring device attachable to a vehicle and a mobile device. The monitoring device plugs into a vehicle diagnostic port and transmits an indicator signal to the mobile device, such as a smart phone, when the vehicle's engine is shut down. Upon receipt of the indicator signal, the mobile device determines its current location and saves it as the vehicle's location. The vehicle's location may then be displayed to the user on the mobile device. Such a system may be used with any vehicle, and allows for vehicle location without requiring that the vehicle have its own location system, such as a GPS system. The user's location may also be determined on the mobile device, along with directional information for guiding the user to their vehicle.
