Controller, Telematics Control Device and Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053713 titled 'Controller, Telematics Control Device and Method
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a controller for a vehicle that includes a main control unit, at least one first secondary control unit, and a switching device. The main control unit is responsible for critical or safety-related applications, while the first secondary control unit handles agile applications. The switching device can deactivate the secondary control unit when necessary, and in the event of a predefined safety-related event, the main control unit can deactivate the secondary control unit using the switching device.
- Main control unit executes critical or safety-related applications
- First secondary control unit executes agile applications
- Switching device deactivates secondary control unit
- Main control unit can deactivate secondary control unit in case of safety-related event
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicles with advanced control systems - Autonomous vehicles for enhanced safety measures
Problems Solved
- Ensures safety by deactivating secondary control unit in critical situations - Allows for flexibility and agility in handling non-critical applications
Benefits
- Improved safety measures in vehicles - Enhanced control and management of different applications in a vehicle system
Original Abstract Submitted
a controller for a vehicle includes a main control unit, at least one first secondary control unit, and a switching device. the main control unit is configured to execute processes of critical or safety-related applications. the at least one first secondary control unit is configured execute agile applications. the switching device is configured to deactivate the at least one secondary control unit. the main control unit is also configured, in the event of the occurrence of a predefined safety-related event, to deactivate the at least one secondary control unit by means of the switching device.
