Patent ID: 8478514

Claim:
A multi-agent distributed data mining system for monitoring the performance of vehicles System has the following components: a. Onboard Module for Data Stream Mining: This component monitors vehicle diagnostic data coming out of OBD/J1708/J1939 ports, GPS data, and accelerometer (also known as G-sensor data) and performs the following data stream mining tasks to generate onboard results (analytics): i. onboard data stream mining for detecting the effects of various engine parameters on fuel consumption; ii. onboard predictive classification of driving patterns and associative indexing of driver performance matrix; iii. resource-constrained anomaly detection for onboard predictive vehicle health monitoring; iv. onboard vehicle emission data analysis; v. automated adaptive algorithm generation and management; b. web-based presentation of the results of onboard data analysis and user-interaction, this component allows presentation of the analytics to the user using a web-based interface; c. onboard and remote-server-based techniques for advertising products and services that are triggered by patterns identified by the vehicle data analysis; d. pattern-driven web-based and onboard vehicle-to-vehicle social networking and collective computation.
