CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297075 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control device for a vehicle system that includes a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is programmed to execute a predetermined process, which involves implementing a specific function of the vehicle in collaboration with another control device in the system.

  • The CPU receives information about second software stored in the other control device before starting the execution of the first software.
  • The CPU performs a startup check process, including a check process.
  • If the CPU receives information about the second software from the other control device after starting the execution of the first software, it executes a third process.
  • The third process involves stopping or preventing the execution of the first process.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This innovation can be applied in vehicles to ensure proper coordination and communication between different control devices, enhancing the overall functionality and safety of the vehicle system.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Coordination between control devices: The technology addresses the issue of ensuring that all control devices in a vehicle system are aware of each other's software and can work together effectively.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved functionality: By allowing control devices to exchange information about their software, the system can ensure that all functions of the vehicle work seamlessly together.
  • Enhanced safety: The startup check process and the ability to stop or forbid the execution of certain processes can help prevent malfunctions or conflicts within the vehicle system, thereby improving safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control device constituting a system of a vehicle includes a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is configured to store first software for executing a predetermined process. The predetermined process includes a first process for implementing a first function of the vehicle in cooperation with another control device constituting the system. The CPU is configured to receive information about second software stored in the other control device from the other control device before execution of the first software at startup of the control device. The CPU is configured to execute a startup check process including a check process, and execute a third process when the CPU receives the information about the second software from the other control device after the CPU has started executing the first software. The third process includes stopping or forbidding execution of the first process.
