Device for reprogramming an embedded system to allow the system to return to an initial embedded system information or a reprogrammed embedded system information

摘要

A reprogramming device is used for reprogramming embedded systems. The reprogramming device comprises a microprocessor, a memory programmed with software to accomplish the reprogramming of distinctly different embedded systems architectures, and one or more hardware devices that facilitate communication over multiple protocols contained in a portable package designed for both one-time and multi-occurrence use scenarios. In some embodiments, the reprogramming device is able to be used to enhance one or more attributes of performance of existing embedded systems through the reconfiguration of internally stored parameters. In some embodiments, the reprogramming device is also to be used to extract and receive information and instruction from existing embedded systems and enable useful presentation of this information. As a result, the reprogramming device is able to be used to adjust and/or monitor the parameters of the on-board diagnostics computer of a vehicle to ensure peak performance and detect errors.

主权项

1. A device for reprogramming an embedded system on a vehicle comprising:
a. a memory for storing an application, the application configured for:
i. presenting a user interface configured for displaying initial embedded system information and receiving an instruction;ii. extracting the initial embedded system information contained on the embedded system;iii. sending the instruction to the embedded system;iv. reprogramming the initial embedded system information on the embedded system in response to the instruction forming reprogrammed embedded system information; andv. writing a unique identification code to the embedded system to allow an initial reprogramming and preventing any additional reprogramming except to return the embedded system information to the initial embedded system information or to the reprogrammed embedded system information; and b. a processing component coupled to the memory, the processing component configured for processing the application.
