METHOD FOR DETERMINING LAYOUT OF ECU - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214241 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING LAYOUT OF ECU
Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses the layout of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in a vehicle's network based on the number and diameter of wires used. It determines the dividing form of the electric wire for each ECU, the position of the connector, and the number of connectors. Additionally, it considers the security risks posed by certain ECUs and their connection to buses with varying security levels.
- The layout of ECUs in a vehicle's network is determined by the number and diameter of wires used.
- The dividing form of the electric wire for each ECU is established, along with the position and number of connectors.
- Security risks associated with certain ECUs are considered, especially when connected to buses with different security levels.
- The patent application aims to optimize the layout of ECUs to enhance the security and efficiency of the in-vehicle network.
Potential Applications: 1. Automotive industry for designing efficient and secure in-vehicle networks. 2. Electronic control systems in other transportation modes like trains and airplanes. 3. Industrial automation for optimizing control unit layouts in machinery.
Problems Solved: 1. Ensuring optimal layout of ECUs in a vehicle's network. 2. Addressing security risks associated with certain ECUs. 3. Enhancing the efficiency and reliability of in-vehicle networks.
Benefits: 1. Improved security and efficiency of in-vehicle networks. 2. Enhanced performance of electronic control systems. 3. Streamlined layout design for ECUs in vehicles.
Commercial Applications: Optimizing Electronic Control Unit layout for enhanced security and efficiency in automotive and other transportation systems.
Questions about Electronic Control Unit Layout Optimization: 1. How does the patent application determine the dividing form of the electric wire for each ECU? 2. What factors are considered when deciding the position and number of connectors for each ECU?
Original Abstract Submitted
ecu is laid out based on the number of wires and the diameter of the wires used in the in-vehicle networking. a dividing form of the electric wire for realizing the layout of the respective ecu is determined, and a position of the connector arranged at the dividing position and a number of the connectors are determined. it is determined whether or not an ecu having a lower access difficulty exists, and when the bus to which the security risk ecu is connected is a bus to which an ecu having a lower security level is connected, the security risk ecu is laid out on another bus to determine a construction in-vehicle network.
