Abstract:
A multilingual software application for controlling vehicle servicing equipment includes a plurality of dynamic link libraries corresponding to supported national languages. The multilingual application is configured to receive input selecting one of the supported national languages, load the corresponding dynamic link library, and redisplay during run-time operating instructions for the vehicle servicing equipment in the selected national language. An international language management system is provided to develop, maintain, and synchronize the dynamic link libraries based on processing resource files from which the dynamic link libraries are compiled.

Abstract:
A computerized automotive service equipment system causes the initiation of a servicing routine upon the detection of particular stimuli from the sensors. The system also places instructional output on the output device simultaneously with an output representative of a vehicle diagnostic state. Object oriented programming techniques are utilized to allow an automotive servicing application to be easily and conveniently updated. The automotive service equipment system is constructed so that replacement of the sensor hardware only requires the replacement of a single software object or collection of objects instead of the rewriting of the entire application. In the system, the operator/technician can program the sequence in which the automotive service routing will proceed.
Abstract:
A computerized automotive service equipment system is adapted to access remotely located computer systems to retrieve or exchange data and/or software applications, or to undergo live or real-time and two-way interaction. The system and its components are dynamic with respect to both function and data, and can be easily updated or otherwise altered. The system of the present invention utilizes World Wide Web technology, which enables the use of universal and widely compatible programming tools and techniques for efficient and fast system development.
