==DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456641 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a device with two interface units connected to separate CAN buses, and a control unit that identifies the dominant state of a CAN bus after arbitration to determine the transmission source device of a CAN frame.

* The device has a first interface unit connected to a first CAN bus and a second interface unit connected to a second CAN bus.
* The control unit is able to detect which CAN bus is in a dominant state after arbitration, indicating the transmission source device of a CAN frame.
* This technology helps in identifying the correct source device for a CAN frame transmission.

== Potential Applications ==
* Automotive industry for vehicle communication systems.
* Industrial automation for controlling machinery and equipment.

== Problems Solved ==
* Ensures accurate identification of the transmission source device in a CAN network.
* Helps in preventing data collisions and ensuring efficient communication.

== Benefits ==
* Improved reliability and efficiency in CAN bus communication.
* Enhanced performance of devices connected to the CAN network.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A device includes a first interface unit connected to a first controller area network (CAN) bus, a second interface unit connected to a second CAN bus, and a control unit configured to identify, in a case where transmission of a CAN frame is started, a CAN bus detected to be in a dominant state first after end of arbitration from the first CAN bus or the second CAN bus, as a CAN bus to which a transmission source device of the CAN frame is connected.
