  • Embedded on-board diagnostic (OBD) device for a vehicle
    Patent number: 10872478
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of a low cost, low power, fully automated, unobtrusive, and vehicle-independent radio frequency (RF) communication device to be plugged into a standard on-board diagnostic (OBD) port inside a vehicle to access OBD diagnostic data. According to one aspect, an OBD device for a vehicle is disclosed. This OBD device includes: an OBD adapter configured to be plugged into an OBD port of a vehicle and a first RFID module electrically coupled to the OBD adapter. The first RFID module is further configured to receive OBD data of a vehicle from an associated OBD port via the OBD adapter and communicate at least a portion of the received OBD data to a first RFID reader when the first RFID module is queried by the first RFID reader.
