`
`
`
`’210 Patent – Claims Subject to IPR
`
`1. A vehicle, comprising:
`a plurality of components;
`a diagnostic system arranged on the vehicle to determine whether any of
`said components is operating non-optimally, is expected to fail or has
`failed and generate an output indicative or representative of the
`determination of the non-optimal operation, expected failure or actual
`failure of any of said components; and
`a communications device coupled to said diagnostic system and arranged to
`direct a transmission of the output of said diagnostic system to a remote
`location such that the output indicative or representative of the
`determination of the non-optimal operation, expected failure or actual
`failure of any of said components generated by said diagnostic system is
`transmitted to the remote location.

`
`
`
`
`’210 Patent – Claims Subject to IPR
`
`15. A method for monitoring components of a vehicle, comprising:
`mounting sensors on the vehicle, each sensor providing a measurement
`related to a state of the sensor or a measurement related to a state of a
`mounting location of the sensor;
`processing data from the sensors using a processor to generate output
`indicative or representative of failure or expected failure of any of the
`components; and
`directing the output indicative or representative of the failure or expected
`failure of any of the components to a remote location using a transmission
`device.

`
`
`
`
`’210 Patent – Claims Subject to IPR
`
`2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein said communications device is arranged to automatically
`direct the transmission of the output of said diagnostic system to the remote location without
`manual intervention.
`
`5. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein said diagnostic system comprises a plurality of vehicle
`sensors mounted on the vehicle, each of said vehicle sensors providing a measurement
`related to a state of said vehicle sensor or a measurement related to a state of a mounting
`location of said vehicle sensor and a processor coupled to said vehicle sensors and arranged
`to receive data from said vehicle sensors and process the received data to generate the
`output of said diagnostic system.
`
`7. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the vehicle includes a passenger compartment, further
`comprising a display arranged in the vehicle in a position to be visible from the passenger
`compartment, said display being coupled to said diagnostic system and arranged to display an
`indication of the determination of the non-optimal operation, failure or expected failure of
`any of said components.
`
`9. The vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a warning device coupled to said diagnostic
`system for relaying a warning to an occupant of the vehicle relating to the non-optimal
`operation, failure or expected failure of any of said components.

`
`’210 Patent – Claims Subject to IPR
`
`13. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein said diagnostic system is arranged to generate a fault
`code relating to the non-optimal operation of any of said components, said communications
`device being arranged to transmit the fault code to the remote location.
`
`18. The method of claim 15, wherein the vehicle includes a passenger compartment,
`further comprising: arranging a display in the vehicle in a position to be visible from the
`passenger compartment; and displaying the output indicative or representative of the failure
`or expected failure of any of the components on the display.

`The Claimed “Diagnostic System”
`
`1. A vehicle, comprising:
`a plurality of components;
`a diagnostic system arranged on the vehicle to determine whether any of said
`components is operating non-optimally, is expected to fail or has failed and
`generate an output indicative or representative of the determination of the non-
`optimal operation, expected failure or actual failure of any of said components;
`and
`a communications device coupled to said diagnostic system and arranged to direct
`a transmission of the output of said diagnostic system to a remote location such
`that the output indicative or representative of the determination of the non-
`optimal operation, expected failure or actual failure of any of said components
`generated by said diagnostic system is transmitted to the remote location.
`
`13. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein said diagnostic system is arranged to generate
`a fault code relating to the non-optimal operation of any of said components, said
`communications device being arranged to transmit the fault code to the remote
`location.
