Patent number: 8744668Abstract: A system and method for an automotive diagnostic server can provide a portable vehicle diagnostic tool to identify a failed vehicle component. It may also provide a remote information device to serve as a connecting intermediary between devices, and to allow remote control of the devices and to provide information to a user. A remote diagnostic device to analyze data and interpret information to aid the user in making, using, maintaining, and fixing a piece of equipment or product may also be included. Web server functionality may be incorporated into the portable vehicle diagnostic tool to allow dissemination of the diagnostic information resulting from the diagnostic testing, and the web server may be accessed by a web browser of the remote information device.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Bosch Automotive Service Solutions LLCInventors: Reed Selkirk, Thomas Bertosa, Manokar Chinnadurai
