CONTROL DEVICE AND VOLTAGE SUPPLY METHOD FOR A CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18261054 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND VOLTAGE SUPPLY METHOD FOR A CONTROL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

• • Explanation:**

The patent application describes a control device for a motor vehicle that can maintain limited functionality in the event of an interruption of the external voltage supply. This is achieved by deactivating certain functional modules and using the stored electrical energy from these modules to power other functional modules.

• • Potential Applications:**

- Automotive industry for vehicles with advanced control systems - Emergency vehicles where uninterrupted functionality is crucial

• • Problems Solved:**

- Ensures that essential functions of the vehicle can still operate during power interruptions - Prevents complete shutdown of the control device in critical situations

• • Benefits:**

- Increased reliability and safety of the vehicle - Reduces the risk of accidents or malfunctions due to power interruptions - Provides a backup power source for essential functions in emergency situations

Original Abstract Submitted

A control device for a motor vehicle. In the event of an interruption of an external voltage supply, limited functionality can continue to be maintained. For this purpose, it is provided to deactivate some functional modules of the control device in the event of an interruption of the external supply voltage and to use electrical energy stored in the deactivated functional modules for the voltage supply of further functional modules.
