  • Patent number: 8359134
    Abstract: A center control unit (11) of a center unit (4) generates assessment information corresponding to the strictness of the usage conditions for a specified component based on operation data stored in an operation data accumulation unit (13) received by an in-vehicle terminal (2) and assessment regulations stored in an assessment regulation storage unit (14), and generates report information for displaying a report in a form allowing comparison of this generated assessment information to relative comparison assessment information stored in an assessment information storage unit (15). A transmitter-receiver (12) transmits the report information generated by the center control unit (11) to a user terminal (3).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7788004
    Abstract: In an in-vehicle terminal (2), an operation data acquisition unit acquires operation data of a vehicle. Notification condition information specifying one of pieces of the operation data to be transmitted to the outside is stored in a storage unit. A notification determination unit reads out the latest notification condition information from the storage unit, and determines whether the operation data acquired by the operation data acquisition unit satisfies notification conditions specified by the read out notification condition information. An in-vehicle terminal transmitter-receiver transmits operation data determined to satisfy the notification conditions by the notification determination unit to an operation management terminal (3). At the time of updating the notification conditions, the operation management terminal (3) generates notification condition information according to settings from a user, and this information is transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal (2) via a center unit (4).

  • Patent number: 7489235
    Abstract: A data collection controller 4 to and from which a removable memory 12 can be attached and removed is mounted on a vehicle 1, and is connected to a predetermined data storage 3. In the data collection controller, driver codes, service route codes, and the like can be entered with code setting buttons 8 and 9, while these code data and data in the predetermined data storage can be downloaded with a download button 7 into the removable memory. The downloading is performed every time the driving of the vehicle is completed. The removable memory is collected when a predetermined time period (for example, one month) has elapsed. Driving information for each driver and each service route is analyzed based on the data recorded in the collected removable memory.
