Specification

The present disclosure relates to the field of repair and rescue services for automobile breakdown. In particular, the present disclosure provides a system for automatic procurement of automobile repair and rescue services at the site of breakdown.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Automobile breakdowns create difficult situations for the driver as well as the passengers. The most common problems that can be faced in automobiles are lack of fuel, overheating of engine, low tire pressure or tire burst, breaking system failure or total engine failure. In such situations the passengers and the automobile are stuck in the middle of highway and garage, gas stations, towing services can be hard to find during night travel and in unknown places. Therefore a system for automatic procurement of repair and rescue services without engaging the driver or passengers would be highly beneficial. [0004] Existing literature describes a car rescue service method enabled to assign a calling centre through short message service and payment interface connected to the rescue service platform and the car owner. Another literature demonstrates a communication system for vehicle rescue, which enables a user to send the nature of trouble and location and requests acknowledgement from a repair person or mechanic. A real time remote monitoring platform has been discussed in another literature that receives instructions from user pertaining to rescue and repair under vehicular fault. A network connection coupling a rescue centre, call centre, roadside service centre, automobile under distress, first aid centre, alignment and positioning centre and an intelligent processing unit has been described in another prior-art. Another literature describes a device and a method for generating alarm signal upon detection of automobile fault followed

by a set of actions including acquiring the automobile's position and nature of faults. However none of the existing disclosures disclose IoT and blockchain driven processing for establishing automatic communication with automobile repair and rescue service providers.
[0005] Therefore there is need in the art to develop a system for automatic procurement of automobile repair and rescue services which can search and connect with one or more repair and rescue service providers based on the location of breakdown of the automobile. The proposed system can detect changes in functionalities of the automobile using IoT, analyse the nature and cause of faults and transmit its location and list of spare parts and accessories required for the repair. In response to service confirmation and generation of invoice, the system is enabled to transfer payment through secures blockchain technologies.
