CH687352C9 - METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING OPERATION AND / OR DRIVING A VEHICLE OR DATA Consequent GELDBETRAEGE. - Google Patents

Abstract

In order to detect, record and evaluate from case to case operational and/or driving data of a vehicle, at least a first detection unit (2), a data processing computer unit (24), a storage (54), in particular for the time-dependent storage of data, and at least a second detection unit (3a) with an independent, in particular different, operation from the first detection unit (2), are provided. The data from both detection units (2, 3a) are stored and made available in the storage (54), and are evaluated, if required outside the vehicle, in order to electronically test whether the data supplied by the first detection unit (2) are correct, faulty or manipulated. If required, a data interface (5) for tapping the data is associated to the storage (54).

In application of Art. 24 para. 1 let. c of the federal law on the invention patents of June 25, 1954, the holder of patent no. 687 352 partially waives this patent in the sense that

I. the previous independent claim 1 by adding the feature that at least one of the at least two determination units obtains its data from a route impulse unit and / or its data from a determination unit working with radio signals, in particular with GPS radio signals, which characteristic is a selection the group of units mentioned in claim 8 results in the following restricted version:

1.Method for determining operating and / or driving data of a vehicle (1) or the resulting amounts of money

- with at least one first determination unit (2),

with a computer unit (24, 51) for managing the data,

- With a memory (4) for storing the data depending on the time and

- With a data interface (5) assigned to this memory (4) for tapping the data,

characterized,

- that simultaneously with the storage of the data from the first determination unit (2) also records data or their electronic equivalents from at least one second differently determining determination unit (3) independent of the first determination unit (2) in the same vehicle (1),

- That the data from the determination units (2, 3) are stored in the memory (4) and / or read out via the data interface (5) and subjected to an evaluation in which it is electronically checked whether the data supplied from the first determination unit (2) Data is correct, incorrect or manipulated, or

m

Insofar as parts of the description and drawing are not compatible with the reorganization of the claims, they should not be considered to be present.

- That the data from the first determination unit (2) is intermittently or continuously compared in an electronic processing unit (23) with comparable data from at least one second determination unit (3) which is independent of it and is thereby determined whether the data supplied from the first determination unit (2) Data is correct, incorrect or manipulated, or whether it corresponds to the real operating and / or driving data, after which the operating and / or driving data or their electronic equivalents together with the comparison data or their equivalents in a suitable manner Form is stored in the memory (4) and / or output via the data interface (5), the latter data relating to the truthfulness of the operating and / or driving data as well as any disruptions or manipulations of the data of the first determination unit (2). Provide with information,

- That at least one of the at least two determination units obtains its data from a route pulse unit and / or its data from a determination unit working with radio signals, in particular with GPS radio signals.

II. The previous independent patent claim 11, in order to bring it in line with the method claim, by adding the feature that at least one of the at least two determination units is a route pulse unit and / or a determination unit that works with radio signals, in particular with GPS radio signals, which Restriction claim 15 can be seen, the following restricted version is given:

1 I. device for determining operating and / or driving data of a vehicle (1) or

resulting amounts of money

- with at least one first determination unit (2),

with a computer unit (24, 51) for managing the data,

- With a memory (4) for storing the data depending on the time and

- With a data interface (5) assigned to this memory (4) for tapping cjetf data,

- The first determination unit (2) is assigned a second, independent determination unit (3 for the independent determination of comparable data of the first determination element; i (2), both units via the computer unit (24, 51) with the memory (4) and / or are connected to the data interface (5),

- to carry out the method according to one of the method claims 1 to 10, daduijc marked,

- That this an evaluation circuit (9a) for comparing the data according to voregeljie NEN plausibility criteria outside the vehicle (1) can be assigned, or

- that the computer unit (24, 51) has an evaluation circuit (9b) for comparing cjle | data according to plausibility criteria, and

- That at least one of the at least two determination units is a route impulse and / or is a determination unit with radio signals, in particular with GPS radio signals.
