Abstract
A method for managing modules incorporated into a plurality of vehicles is provided. The method includes steps of: a managing device (a) performing data collection for determining whether descendant modules are malfunctional, on condition that a module signal generated from an ancestor module is acquired, and that specific module data are recorded in a node of a tree data structure, and then if the specific module data are determined as corresponding to a malfunction of the ancestor module; and (b) transmitting individual malfunction information to a managing server to thereby allow the managing server to perform diagnosis on identical-type modules, where the individual malfunction information includes information on the malfunction of the ancestor module and the descendant modules, and where the identical-type modules are selected among modules of other vehicles by referring to whether each modules of said other vehicles is identical to the ancestor module and the descendant modules.
