ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211239 titled 'ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
The abstract of the patent application describes an electronic control unit with two processing units, each containing a processor and a rewritable storage device. These units are capable of performing services by executing software stored in the storage device. The control unit can set a period during which services performed by one processing unit can be suspended.
- The electronic control unit has two processing units, each with a processor and rewritable storage device.
- Services are performed by executing software stored in the storage device.
- The control unit can suspend services of one processing unit during a specified period.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for controlling various functions in vehicles. - Industrial automation for managing processes efficiently. - Consumer electronics for enhancing user experience through optimized services.
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of services in electronic control units. - Improved performance by suspending services when necessary.
Benefits: - Enhanced reliability and stability of electronic control units. - Optimal resource utilization for better functionality. - Increased flexibility in managing services based on requirements.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Control Systems in Automotive and Industrial Applications" This technology can be used in automotive control systems, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, leading to improved performance and user experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the electronic control unit determine when to suspend services?
The control unit sets a specific period during which services of one processing unit can be suspended based on the requirements.
2. What are the potential risks of suspending services in electronic control units?
Suspending services may temporarily affect the performance of the unit, but it is necessary for efficient resource management.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic control unit includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit. each of the first processing unit and the second processing unit includes a processor and a rewritable storage device. each of the first processing unit and the second processing unit is configured to perform a service by the processor executing software stored in the rewritable storage device. the electronic control unit is configured to set, during a period other than a first period during which all services performed by the first processing unit are suspendable, a second period during which all services performed by the second processing unit are suspendable.
