Abstract:
A web browser/server system for use as a diagnostic wheel alignment service system, the web browser comprising:a browser computer having means for connection to a data transmission network; a plurality of alignment angle sensor adapted to be mounted on vehicle wheels to sense wheel alignment angles; the browser computer coupled to the plurality of sensors and adapted to receive therefrom real-time raw signals indicative of wheel alignment angles and to place the real-time raw signals on the data transmission network for transmission to the web server; the web server comprising: a server computer having means for connection to the data transmission network and for receiving the real-time raw signals; the server computer further comprising means for computing from the real-time raw signals the difference between the sensed wheel alignment angles and values representing wheel alignment angle specifications; the server computer adapted to return to the browser computer over the data transmission network processed signals representative of the difference between the sensed wheel alignment angles and values representing wheel alignment angle specifications; and the browser computer further comprising a display, the browser computer adapted to receive the processed signals and place on the display an image representative of the difference between the sensed wheel alignment angles and values representing wheel alignment angle specifications.
