IN-VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18438826 titled 'IN-VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
A control signal selection unit decides which control signal to send to a target in-vehicle device based on signals received from different processors in different Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
Key Features and Innovation
- Control signal selection based on signals from multiple processors.

Questions about Multi-Processor Control Signal Selection
What are the key benefits of using multiple processors to control in-vehicle devices?
Using multiple processors allows for more efficient and reliable control of in-vehicle devices, enhancing overall system performance and safety.
How does the control signal selection unit prioritize between different control signals?
The control signal selection unit prioritizes the second control signal over the first if both are received within a certain time frame, ensuring the correct signal is sent to the target device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control signal selection unit receives a first control signal for controlling a target in-vehicle device from a first processor of a first ECU, and receives a second control signal for controlling the target in-vehicle device from a second processor of a second ECU. When the control signal selection unit receives both the first control signal and the second control signal within the predetermined time, the control signal selection unit does not send the first control signal to the target in-vehicle device, but sends the second control signal to the target in-vehicle device.
