IN-VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281239 titled 'IN-VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes a control signal selection unit that receives control signals from two different processors in separate electronic control units (ECUs) for controlling a target in-vehicle device. When both control signals are received within a predetermined time, the selection unit chooses to send the second control signal to the target device instead of the first one.
- The control signal selection unit receives control signals from two different processors in separate ECUs.
- When both control signals are received within a predetermined time, the selection unit prioritizes sending the second control signal to the target in-vehicle device.
- This innovation ensures that conflicting control signals are managed effectively to prevent errors or malfunctions in the target device.
- By selecting the appropriate control signal, the system can operate smoothly and efficiently without interference from conflicting commands.
- This technology enhances the overall control and coordination of in-vehicle devices by intelligently managing multiple control signals.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for controlling various in-vehicle devices. - Industrial automation for managing multiple control signals in complex systems.
Problems Solved: - Prevents conflicts between control signals from different processors. - Ensures smooth operation and coordination of in-vehicle devices.
Benefits: - Improved reliability and efficiency in controlling in-vehicle devices. - Enhanced safety by avoiding conflicting commands that could lead to malfunctions.
Commercial Applications: Title: Intelligent Control Signal Selection System for In-Vehicle Devices This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for various in-vehicle systems, as well as in industrial automation for managing control signals in complex systems. The market implications include improved system reliability, efficiency, and safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control signal selection unit prioritize between conflicting control signals? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of in-vehicle devices?
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.
