Method for documentation of data for a vehicle
View Patent ↗A method for documentation of data for a vehicle, with the data being stored in a data memory ( 2 ) in the vehicle ( 1 ), the data in the data memory ( 2 ) being updated in the event of changes, and this data being transmitted via a wireless data transmission device ( 4 ) to a control center ( 5 ) outside the vehicle ( 1 ), in which case the control center ( 5 ), triggered by an initiation signal, passes on the data to a configuration documentation server ( 7 ), the data is stored in a database ( 6 ), in particular in a chronological sequence and broken down into products, in order to record the configuration standard outside the vehicle ( 1 ) for replacement of products on the vehicle ( 1 ).
1. A method for documenting a vehicle data stored in a data member of the vehicle, wherein the stored data is grouped according to products of the vehicle and is updated in the event of changes, said method comprising the steps of:
transmitting said stored data group according to products of said vehicle via a wireless data transmission device to a control center outside the vehicle;
retransmitting, in response to an initiation signal, said transmitted data to a configuration documentation server and storing said transmitted data in a first database;
storing, as compatibility data, compatibility requirements for each of said products of said vehicle on a compatibility documentation server, separate from the configuration documentation server, in a second database;
performing a compatibility check for at least one of said products in the vehicle by means of the compatibility data in the compatibility documentation server; and
checking configuration standards of said at least one of said products from outside said vehicle by communications between said configuration documentation server and said compatibility documentation server.
2. The method according to claim 1 comprising the further step of triggering the initiation signal for the wireless data transmission from the control center by one of a control unit on the vehicle and by updating of the data memory in the vehicle.
3. A method according to claim 1 further comprising the step of storing configuration standards relating to the products used in the vehicle, as standard data.
4. A method according to claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting an enable signal from the control center to the vehicle after the data has been stored in the database in the configuration documentation server, in order to update the vehicle data in the data memory.
5. A method according to claim 4 , further comprising the step of transmitting the enable signal after the compatibility test has been successfully completed.
