Utilizing mobile video to provide support for vehicle manual, repairs, and usage
A system for providing vehicle information to a mobile device includes a network access device to receive a request including image data corresponding to a portion of a vehicle. The system further includes a memory to store content related to vehicles. The system further includes a processor designed to identify a model of the vehicle based on the request for the vehicle information and to identify the portion of the vehicle based on the request for the vehicle information. The processor is further designed to determine a type of information requested based on the request for the vehicle information and to identify applicable content from the memory based on the identified model of the vehicle, the identified portion of the vehicle, and the identified type of information requested. The processor is further designed to control the network access device to transmit the applicable content to the remote device.

Oil Caddy Device
The present invention relates generally to an oil caddy device that is comprised of a body that has a top surface comprised of at least one continuous opening, and a bottom surface comprised of a mat, a rear surface and two generally parallel side surfaces. The body of the device further preferably resembles a two-tiered shelving system, and is made of sheet metal, such that it can attach to any wall or surface. The device is also comprised of a storage system that allows funnels and other oil change equipment to be stored, while excess fluid drips out of them into a collection bin. In this manner, the device can be used in any garage or work area, such that a user may change vehicle fluids without worrying about creating an unsanitary or potentially dangerous environment.
