Abstract
Methods, system, and user interface for collecting, combining, analyzing, providing feedback on APU data and external data are disclosed. The disclosed embodiments can help to track the quality of the APU, to improve the APU, and to make the APU better. The disclosed embodiments can help to improve APU reliability and to set service (or maintenance) intervals. The disclosed embodiments can help to establish a robust APU operating profile and provide a low cost, flexible, and high data-yield solution that can benefit the APU manufactures (or designers, maintainers) and the APU end users. The disclosed embodiments can also provide a low-cost data acquisition from the external devices and the APU through the use on an incentive-based user interface. The disclosed embodiments can utilize the existing mobile device display as HMI and the existing mobile device data plan and network connections as the data channel.
