Description

The invention relates to a method, a device and a mobile user device for (improved) adaptation of an energy distribution within at least one vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle.

In a (present day) motor vehicle, a large number of consumers of energy stored in the vehicle in an energy store are present. An essential consumer in a motor vehicle is its drive unit, which provides traction power for locomotion of the vehicle; In addition, a large number of auxiliary units are provided in modern motor vehicles, which also need energy for their operation. In addition, motor vehicles have at least two, in the future possibly more energy storage or intermediate energy storage. In the mentioned in the vehicle entrained (and thus limited) energy may be electrical energy, which is preferably stored in accumulators (as energy storage); Alternatively or additionally, at least one (or may be several different) energy carrier in tanks or the like may be carried in the vehicle, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, CNG or hydrogen.

Modern drive systems of motor vehicles with internal combustion engines can automatically adapt to parameters of a fuel to be combusted in the internal combustion engine. In particular, the internal combustion engines of these modern vehicles can utilize different types of classic liquid fuel (Super 95, 98, E, ethanol in the form such as currently being used in South America, etc.) or natural gas. Several types of fuel within a class are more or less easily miscible with each other. Such an adaptation can be z. B. provide for a functionality of the engine with different fuels.

In particular, in vehicles that can be powered by two or more types of energy, for example, petrol types or natural gas and / or electrical energy, the user, for. B. driver usually overwhelmed with a finding of a respectively advantageous, let alone optimal mode or type of energy overtaxed or unnecessarily burdened. This is all the more true if the energy available in principle also has to be distributed differently among several different energy consumers. For example, the question may arise as to what extent a limited, eg. B. electrical energy from one or more energy storage of the vehicle is used on the one hand for the vehicle drive and on the other hand for air conditioning of the vehicle interior.

In this context, control systems are known which, depending on current measured values within a vehicle, attempt to achieve an improved energy supply of individual vehicle systems. The creation of a conceivable optimization method is made more difficult by the fact that the values or value ranges for an optimal energy supply or energy distribution in a vehicle in a wide range depending on (sometimes very different) use of a vehicle, eg. B. depending on his use, move. Even more significantly, the individual uses of different vehicles usually differ from one another. Also, very different boundary conditions during an energy utilization (and thus in particular during a driving operation of the vehicle) prevail. Furthermore, the basic values for an optimal energy supply are partly significantly dependent on the age and condition of the respective vehicle as well as on the current vehicle usage.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method, a corresponding device and a mobile user device for adapting the energy distribution (between several, at least two consumers) of at least one vehicle, in particular an improved efficiency in the distribution and utilization of limited energy resources or a reduction of negative consequences of energy utilization. The object is solved by the features of the independent claims; advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims.

The invention is characterized according to a first aspect by a method for adjusting the power distribution and according to a second aspect by a corresponding device for adjusting the power supply of a drive system of a vehicle.

Accordingly, at least one value of at least one first energy utilization parameter, which represents a first energy utilization process in a so-called first vehicle, is determined, and values of at least one so-called usage parameter are determined which are related to at least one quantity taking into account or reproducing the current use of the vehicle or such during the first energy recovery process represented. This then determines a mathematical relationship between at least one or more of the values of the at least one energy utilization parameter and the corresponding values of said utilization parameters, and it becomes a profile data record provided, which contains a data set and / or learning data based on the at least one determined mathematical relationship. By means of this provided profile data set can then be determined in a second vehicle on the basis of at least one so-called. Adaptation information, the energy distribution in this second vehicle for a second energy recovery operation, and thus the second vehicle also provided. Such adaptation information can be determined and applied, for example, with suitable means of the second vehicle or of a mobile user device of the user of the second vehicle and depending on the at least one profile data record on the basis of the data of one or more first vehicles.

In other words, information for improved energy distribution in another, second vehicle is thus obtained from collected data of a first vehicle, which take into account the local energy utilization, in particular in the case of an energy distribution which takes place there. In this case, a plurality of first vehicles are preferably used in order to have information about a favorable energy distribution (for example also between different energy consumers) available for a large number of second vehicles.

Depending on the determined or provided adaptation information for adjusting the energy distribution within at least one vehicle, in the context of the method according to the invention it is possible to adapt the types of energy which are preferably to be used and / or stored and / or consumed for consumption at certain times or time intervals, for example fuel types , respectively. The adaptation of the energy distribution within the second vehicle (s) using the adaptation information that can likewise be determined within the context of a method according to the invention can be carried out by means of methods known per se or suitably adapted. For example, at least one energy distribution device, which is provided in the vehicle and its energy budget by appropriate energy conversion and distribution to different consumers (possibly also depending on other criteria) electronically controls (ie, "manages"), this by electronic control of an electrical power system and / or by suitable fuel removal (eg fuel delivery by means of a fuel pump) from a tank suitably cause.

Thus, the adaptation information can relate to a (specific) type of energy and / or fuel based on qualitative and / or quantitative values and their qualitative and quantitative values represent, for example. 5 liters of diesel, especially with certain fuel parameters, or, for example, 125 kW / h of electrical energy or a certain amount of current in an energy distribution process in the vehicle with respect to a second (planned) energy recovery process. The adaptation information may represent (new) information about a preferably optimized (or as favorable as possible) conversion or intermediate storage or in-vehicle storage of the at least one type of energy for the second vehicle for a second energy recovery operation. However, the adaptation information can also represent a change compared with a previous energy distribution, for example in a first energy utilization process and / or after previous planning or previous adjustment for the utilization or storage of the at least one type of energy. The (subsequent) adaptation of the energy distribution within at least one vehicle can be carried out according to a known, adapted or further developed method, wherein certain boundary conditions and / or usage parameters of the second vehicle can be taken into account in a second energy recovery operation.

As different types of energy according to the invention also different sources of electrical energy can be considered. In particular, various types of energy storage, which operate with different physical principles, such as a battery, a fuel cell, a short-term electrical energy storage, eg. A capacitor system (so-called "supercapacitor"), or energy sources that significantly different have technical values or energy recovery characteristics. In particular, in the method according to the invention, it is also possible to adapt an energy distribution to and / or between at least two different energy stores or energy sources. In this case, the other energy storage thus also consumers for energy.

As a fuel (as a further type of energy) can be considered in particular a diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen (for combustion or recovery for energy production in a fuel cell) and synthetic gases. Accordingly, a vessel (eg, high pressure vessel) for storing gaseous fuel in the process may be considered as a tank of the vehicle.

Preferably, the profile data set in addition to the determined mathematical relationship also further, z. B. include general parameters or current settings of the vehicle. For example, further, in particular statistical data related to the first vehicle.

The adaptation of the energy distribution within a (second) vehicle can also be configured in such a way that user information is generated on the basis of the determined adaptation information, which allows a specific adaptation (eg switching or setting) of at least one mode for distributing and utilizing at least one energy type the second vehicle is represented by an action of the user (eg, an operator action of the user). In addition to usage parameters, other boundary conditions can also be used (in a second energy recovery process). which will be discussed later.

In particular, the adaptation of the energy distribution comprises a change of the energy flows in the vehicle, eg. For example, for the purpose of reducing the energy losses within the vehicle, saving or preferred selection of a particular type of energy, better retrievability of certain amounts of energy, etc .. Preferably, adjusting the energy distribution of the energy extraction from at least two different energy stores (eg., One or more tanks, one or more batteries, or from hydraulic or pneumatic energy storage) for at least one energy consumer in the vehicle.

In the method according to the invention, for example, a significantly improved energy distribution can be achieved with regard to energy efficiency, saving of energies of a certain kind, availability of the energies of certain types, emission reduction, etc., even without supply of the energy to the vehicle from the outside and / or a total of Vehicle or aggregate of the same generated energy or the vehicle or an aggregate thereof generated useful power to change.

Particularly preferably, the adaptation of the energy distribution within a second vehicle takes place at least partially automated in a second energy utilization process. In this case, the settings for the adaptation, for example, automatically be taken over in the vehicle or provided in this. The adaptation information or the changes relating to the energy distribution which are dependent thereon can then be confirmed with a simple (operator) action by the user, in particular by the driver of the respective vehicle; if appropriate, the user can influence the adaptation information in a suitable manner. In the method according to the invention, adaptation of a logic of the energy distribution and / or of causal relationships used for controlling the energy distribution preferably takes place for a second energy utilization process as a function of at least one provided profile data set.

The present invention thus also relates (within the scope of an independent patent claim) to a method for adapting an energy distribution in a vehicle (here referred to as a second) and in particular a method for allocating available energy to a drive unit of the vehicle, wherein determining and, in particular a read-in of a profile data set for this (second) vehicle takes place, which profile data record is indicative of a first energy utilization process of another so-called first vehicle. In particular, it is a profile data set which is designed as described above and characterized in the first independent claim. Starting from the transmitted profile data record, one or more adaptation information (s) for adjusting the energy distribution within the above-mentioned so-called second vehicle is or will then be determined, whereupon an adaptation of the energy distribution within this second vehicle depends on the transmitted profile data set and the determined adaptation information is carried out. The latter takes account of own usage parameters of the so-called second vehicle.

The abovementioned ascertaining, in particular reading in of the profile data set, can take place from a computer unit arranged at a distance from the vehicle, for example from a backend, an Internet portal or a server. The determination, in particular reading in of the profile data record, can take place, in particular, as a targeted search or selection of a (best) suitable profile data record from a multiplicity of stored profile data records. The determination, in particular reading the profile data set for the second vehicle can be done with means of the vehicle, for. Example by means of a transceiver unit of the vehicle, with or without a server functionality and / or a client functionality. The determination, in particular reading in of the profile data set for the second vehicle, can alternatively or additionally take place by means of a mobile user device carried in the second vehicle or assigned to the user of the second vehicle. One or more adaptation information for adjusting the energy distribution within at least one second vehicle can be determined at least partially by means of a mobile user device of the user of the second vehicle, depending on the profile record determined. Thus, for example, a so-called fuel parameter can be determined for two fuel types or fuel types which can be used for the operation of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle which functions as a drive unit, and an adaptation of the Power distribution to be executed within a second vehicle depending on the determined adaptation information.

The reading in of a profile data set in a second vehicle can otherwise be linked to any conditions, for example to a data exchange, to the provision of own vehicle data in particular of the (based on the data of the second vehicle determined) own profile data set, z. As to participate in the inventive method, an exchange of profile data or mediation of other services.

Referring now in more detail to the energy distribution (as such), in the method according to the invention it may comprise a supply of energy within a vehicle to at least one energy consumer or to an energy distribution device provided in the vehicle. As energy distribution but also a distribution of energy flows within the vehicle is preferably to be understood in an energy distribution device. Also, an intermediate storage of energy reserves within the vehicle, which preferably arise from an energy conversion, may be an energy distribution according to the invention. This also means a changeover between at least two types of energy for supplying one or more energy consumers within the vehicle, furthermore a conversion of certain types of energy and / or fuels, which in particular for certain energy consumers and / or applications of the vehicle, and / or are determined for certain (short) time intervals within the second energy recovery process.

In this case, the energy distribution can relate at least partially to conversion of one type of energy into another type of energy, which is carried out within the vehicle and is controlled as a function of the said adaptation information. In particular, the energy distribution may relate to an energy supply plan for at least one energy consumer in a second energy recovery process. Thus, the energy distribution can also relate to an energy buffering plan for at least one energy store in the second energy recovery process.

In the method according to the invention, the energy distribution can also be understood as a mathematical relationship between the use of at least two energy stores for the energy supply of at least one energy consumer and / or as a mathematical relationship concerning energy distribution between at least two energy consumers from at least one energy store. When adjusting the energy distribution, it is also possible to vary (relatively short) time intervals in which an allocation of the energy takes place between at least two energy stores and / or at least two energy consumers.

In the method, the energy distribution can also include intermediate storage of a specific type of energy, in particular for a specific purpose. For example, a certain amount of an electrical charge in a battery or an electric charge in a buffer store (eg so-called super-caps of the vehicle), but also pneumatic or hydraulic energy for driving at least one actuator of the vehicle can be distributed according to the invention. In addition to conventional fuel, however, hydrogen, which, for example, is produced as an intermediate product in a process, can also be distributed to a further utilization, for example, in a fuel cell.

As far as energy consumers already mentioned are concerned, such consumers are preferably taken into account in the method according to the invention, whose energy consumption is not negligible, but make up a noteworthy proportion of the total energy requirement of the vehicle. For example, an energy consumption of greater than 50 or 250 or 1000 watts or required amounts of energy of greater than 0.1 kW / h or greater than 0.5 kW / h. In any case, therefore, a traction drive system of the vehicle serving for locomotion of the vehicle will be considered. In this case, the already mentioned adaptation information can be provided in the vehicle for one or more functions of the vehicle; Depending on the adaptation information, it is also possible, for example, to output information for the user of the vehicle, which relates in particular to a power supply of the drive system.

Further on the adaptation information, the determined adaptation information may comprise an optimization function and thus an optimal or at least favorable fuel composition and / or optimal or at least most favorable distribution of different types of energy for a future or future drive by the drive system of a vehicle for a second energy recovery operation cause.

With the method according to the invention, the power supply of an internal combustion engine and / or electric motor operated drive system of the vehicle can thus also be adapted. Using the adaptation information, the mathematical dependence between the available types of energy and the energy supply of at least one energy consumer, in particular one can be particularly preferred Drive system of the vehicle can be adjusted. In this case, depending on the determined adaptation information, a respective optimized drive type and / or operating mode can be achieved. In the method according to the invention, the adaptation information can lead to the consideration of certain predefined values (so-called target values) with regard to the energy consumption of the vehicle and / or with regard to vehicle dynamics properties of the vehicle. The adaptation information is particularly preferably determined in the method taking into account certain predefined values (so-called target values). The predefined values can be taken into account, for example, together with the further data of the adaptation information when adjusting the energy distribution in the second vehicle.

Advantageously, by the method, an increase in efficiency in the (at least statistical) energy recovery can be achieved and made a contribution to environmental protection, in particular through a reduction or overall optimization of emissions, eg. B. CO2 and / or pollutant reduction. In this sense, an increase of the positive so-called. Environmental properties of a vehicle or a particular group of vehicles is possible. Particularly advantageously, the method, for example, by specifying certain predetermined values (so-called target values) can be applied to a vehicle fleet in such a way that a specific statistical result in relation to the vehicle fleet, for example with regard to the environmental properties of the fleet is achieved. This can be done with a constant or even increasing performance or driving dynamics of the vehicles.

In particular, the first and / or second energy utilization process may relate to an energy conversion process with respect to a drive energy or other energy consumers in the vehicle that essentially serves to propel the vehicle with a consumption which is not negligible for the energy balance within the vehicle. The first energy recovery process and / or the second energy recovery process may refer to particular different or partially overlapping time periods in the process. For example, the energy recovery operations may be defined depending on the transitions of so-called terminal cycles of the vehicle within which its electrical energy storage is being charged and / or dependent on one or more energy supply operations (i.e., refueling, charging, etc. at an energy site).

In particular, the first and second energy recovery processes respectively relate to an energy distribution within the vehicle which serves for the movement of the vehicle, for example within the drive system of a respective vehicle. Thus, the method can be used for distributing the energy in particular within an internal combustion engine and / or within the drive train and / or chassis of the respective vehicle. In this case, the respective vehicle may have one or more internal combustion engines. In addition, the respective and in particular the so-called first vehicle may have an electric drive and thus be designed as a hybrid vehicle. With regard to energy utilization by an internal combustion engine, instead of the term energy utilization, the term fuel utilization can alternatively or additionally be used mutatis mutandis. Expressly it should be noted, however, that an energy distribution according to the invention is not limited to the vehicle drive, but may relate to any energy-consuming units within a vehicle.

The values of the at least one energy utilization parameter and the values of the at least one usage parameter are preferably determined as a function of a multiplicity of operating phases of the first vehicle, wherein the determining also includes detection with a sensor device. In the method, an energy utilization parameter can be determined which represents at least one or more in particular statistically formed or accumulated energy recovery parameters. The energy utilization parameter may refer to at least one or more different phases of the first energy recovery process. The energy utilization parameter may be a value set, for example a data array having a multiplicity of parameters, for example for one or more phases of the energy utilization process.

The at least one usage parameter mentioned in claim 1, which takes into account at least one aspect of the usage or is associated with at least one size taking into account or reproducing the use of the vehicle, is helpful since different useful energy distributions result with different types of use. Preferably, in the method, a plurality of usage parameters are taken into account, which represent at least one aspect of the use of the first vehicle during the first energy utilization process.

The at least one usage parameter mentioned in claim 1, of which several are preferably provided or taken into account, represent or represent at least one aspect of the use of the first vehicle during the first energy utilization process. The at least one parameter of the usage condition may be based on a regular and / or refer to irregular use of the vehicle. For example, a regular usage may be a substantially cyclical usage such as a week cycle or a usage with similar precedents from the past. As a regular use can also be considered a use with only slowly changing parameters. On the other hand, as an irregular usage, rapidly changing usage conditions can be considered, for example, on new routes and / or journeys with a significantly changed driving style (of the driver). Different driving styles of a driver or different drivers of a vehicle can be described, for example, by the terms "sporty" or "comfort-oriented" or "economic" or "cautious" or "aggressive" or other applicable terms. However, a usage parameter according to the invention can take into account a multiplicity of further criteria or information, which will be discussed in more detail later.

As regards the mathematical relationship mentioned in claim 1, it may comprise a predefined mathematical law, rule, rule and / or relation between one or more energy utilization parameters and one or more of said parameters or their values. The mathematical relationship may represent coefficients for one or more in particular predetermined equations, polynomials or a simulation. This is in particular a suitably designed mathematical relationship.

In a simplified example of the mathematical relationship, values of the at least one energy utilization parameter, for example, can be assigned, stored and / or provided to the respectively associated values of the at least one usage parameter of the first vehicle in a first energy utilization process. In particular, the respective numerical values, which relate in particular to the same time intervals, can be suitably allocated to one another. In this case, the mathematical relationship can be configured such that a result of the mathematical relationship represents a dependency between two or more usage parameters and represents two or more corresponding energy utilization parameters. Particularly preferably, the mathematical relationship represents a solution space of a plurality of the properties of the first vehicle with regard to one or more (specific) energy utilization processes. Preferably, one or more properties of the first vehicle can also be described at least partially in a system-theoretical manner, namely as a relationship between the resulting input variables and output variables, using the mathematical relationship.

The provided dataset may include all characteristics of the (predetermined) mathematical relationship selected or selected according to specific criteria. In particular, a selected data set may comprise a selection of the characteristics of the mathematical relationship which is optimized depending on a specific application. A mathematical relationship can be determined as the learning data on the basis of the at least one or more values of the at least one energy supply parameter and the corresponding values of the said usage parameters. Learning data may also represent a difference or deviation from a previous value and / or a norm or average. The learning data can also directly or indirectly represent a specific change of the data set, in particular in the form of an update information with respect to a prestored or provided data record.

Preferably, depending on a first energy utilization process, for example within a certain time interval, at least a part of the values of the data set can be determined, whereupon the learning data relating to a change of the data set is provided in the first vehicle. The provided profile data record can comprise at least one data record and / or learning data based on one or more determined mathematical relationships. In this case, a profile record z. The data of the data set and / or learning data and a usage rule for the data.

Put simply, the provided profile data set may have a certain "experience" (corresponding to: data set) or a new "experience" of the first vehicle in terms of energy distribution or power distribution logic of the first vehicle in a plurality of represent different conditions of use.

By means of the determined profile data set, the energy distribution of another vehicle can be adjusted taking into account specific properties such that one or more aspects of the energy distribution of a second vehicle are improved or improved. Thus, with the inventive method on an example. Age-related change specific properties of the vehicle or its components, but also changes within a complete Vehicle model series react when these properties change over time.

As regards the adaptation information mentioned in claim 1, it may comprise a plurality of specific adaptation measures and / or quantitative values for the implementation of the measures. Thus, the adaptation information may concern an adaptation, in particular a control of the adaptation of the energy distribution within a vehicle, and in particular a distribution of different types of energy for a second energy utilization process, in particular within the second energy utilization process. The determined adaptation information may preferably represent a distribution regulation or a change of a power supply regulation (eg a new energy distribution logic and / or a corresponding adaptation logic) with respect to one or more energy consumers and / or one or more energy stores of a vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, in the method, depending on the adaptation information for adjusting the energy distribution, a variation of at least one adjustment of the vehicle, in particular of its drive system, can take place for a second energy utilization process. For example, depending on the adaptation information, suitable control signals can be generated and sent by an electronic control unit, for example, for substantially continuous adjustment of the energy supply to the drive unit of the vehicle during or during the second energy utilization process.

A profile data record or parts of the profile data record can / can be transmitted to a central device, for example to a backend, for example, the power supply point or a vehicle manufacturer by the method according to the invention. The profile data record in the method according to the invention can be completed either continuously or event-controlled or at regular time intervals and / or updated. In particular, an initial, previous or rarely updated profile data record can be updated in relatively frequent time intervals depending on new learning data in each case.

For example, a profile data record already stored in a second vehicle can be updated depending on transmitted learning data that was determined as a function of the data of a first vehicle. This provides a particularly high level of efficiency and rapid and effective updating of the data used in the procedure. In this case, a profile data record with the learning data based on the data of a first vehicle can be transmitted, which only comprise a change or update of a previous profile data set for a second vehicle, then only the affected, namely to be changed part of the previous profile data set is updated.

It can thereby be achieved that resulting data sets are obtained from output data that represents a combination of a multiplicity of diverse usage parameters relating to regular use of the first vehicle in a first energy utilization and / or multiplicity of various usage parameters relating to an irregular use of the first vehicle in a first energy utilization can then apply to a variety of combinations, in particular new combinations of usage parameters of the regular use and usage parameters of irregular use of the first vehicle that prevail (or can prevail) in a second energy recovery process or are applicable as precisely as possible. The values of the at least one energy utilization parameter can be distributed to the respective associated values at a predetermined first data interface. The determined profile data set can be provided at a predetermined second data interface. The first data interface and the second data interface can be designed as one or two interfaces. A control device of the first vehicle may have the first data interface and a mobile user device may have the second data interface.

In particular, the profile data record can be determined at least partially by a mobile user device. By way of example, the mobile user device can be designed to determine and / or determine the values of the at least one energy utilization parameter depending on data provided or specifically read out from the vehicle, for example vehicle sensor data. Alternatively or additionally, the mobile user device can be designed to send, receive and / or manage one or more profile data records.

The profile data record can thus also be dependent on data of at least one vehicle sensor and / or be determined as a function of user settings that can be specified in particular by means of the mobile user device. In this case, the user can change his settings by a human-machine interface of the first vehicle and / or by means of a mobile user device, in particular by means of a human-machine interface of an already mentioned mobile user device.

Depending on the provided profile data set, for example, by means of a predetermined calculation program in a computing unit of the vehicle and / or in a mobile user device an adaptation information can be determined. In this case, one or more predetermined optimization criteria of the user of the vehicle can also be taken into account.

At least one profile data set can be determined in the method on the basis of standardized and / or adjusted values and / or values related to a multiplicity of first vehicles. The profile data set or at least an adaptation information can also be formed or changed by means of methods of statistical mathematics known per se. This results in a so-called resulting profile data record, for example from statistical information of a plurality of vehicles, which are preferably of the same type and which are operated under different boundary conditions. Thus, at least approximately an optimum for an energy distribution or an energy distribution rule for at least one second vehicle can be determined and applied, in particular also with regard to future conditions to be expected.

A (targeted) exchange of profile data sets or the adaptation information that has been determined for different (first) vehicles can be done by means of a mobile user device. In the process, these profile data records or adaptation information can also be used by other users for specific purposes, namely, for example, with a corresponding app (= application) to be read in and used. Thus, the learning data and / or the said data record can be received from a further mobile user device of a user of a second vehicle or specifically queried.

In the event that values of the at least one said parameter have not yet been determined, or, for example, in a brand new vehicle, values of the at least one parameter that are suitable for starting the method can also be obtained from a simulation or Values of another vehicle can be used. In a simplified case, these can be entered and / or imported and later corrected by real measurements.

In an advantageous embodiment according to the first and second aspects, one or more values of a fuel parameter are determined at least for two fuel types or fuel types that can be used for the operation of the internal combustion engine, and the profile data set is dependent on the respective value or respective values of a fuel parameter (the respective Fuel grade). This has the advantage that the energy utilization parameter can also be evaluated in relation to the respective fuel used. The one or more values of the at least one fuel parameter may each be determined after a refueling operation and / or depending on the data of one or more refueling operations. The at least one fuel parameter may be representative of proportions of different types of fuel and / or of a mixing ratio of predetermined fuel constituents in the respective fuel of the vehicle used at the present time and / or at a specific time. Thus, the value of the at least one fuel parameter can clarify a fuel grade and / or a fuel type itself and / or its octane number and / or a viscosity and / or represent a proportion of a fuel constituent. By means of the profile data set, for example, a change in the at least one fuel parameter can be determined, which is suitable for approximating the determined energy utilization parameter (in this case a fuel utilization parameter) to a predetermined or desirable nominal fuel utilization parameter. The desired fuel utilization parameter may be a value optimized as much as possible for the fuel utilization parameter (or in general the energy utilization parameter).

Much has already been said about power distribution in the vehicle; Now some examples of energy consumers are mentioned, between which an energy distribution according to the invention can take place in a so-called second vehicle. In addition to the already mentioned traction drive of the vehicle and an energy storage for somehow converted energy (in particular by combustion of fuel into mechanical energy, which is proportionately converted into electrical energy) are exemplary energy consumers or energy-consuming devices call, which serve the lateral dynamics control of the vehicle ( = Lenkunterstützungsaktuatoren), or which are the vertical dynamics control of the vehicle body (with at least one controllable actuator), also a device for heating and / or air conditioning of the vehicle or Fzg.-Innenraums, light devices, d. H. Lighting equipment on the vehicle. The light device may in particular relate to an exterior lighting system, in particular driving light, parking light, low beam, high beam, parking light, etc. Furthermore, the light device may also include interior light. But also a device for adjusting vehicle parts, such as. An electric seat adjustment may be included according to the invention and generally a component of the (electrical or hydraulic) power system of the vehicle, including also above-mentioned energy storage, such as an accumulator belong.

It should be noted at this point that an adaptation information determined for the second vehicle (in the second vehicle or in the mobile user device) which adapts the transmitted profile data record to the particular circumstances of the second vehicle is an adaptation (of a plurality) of further parameters of an energy distribution process or several, in particular simultaneous, energy distribution processes, in particular based on further underlying optimization criteria can serve.

For example, the adaptation information can be determined in particular depending on the desire of the respective vehicle user such that an adjustment of one or more energy distribution processes caused by this does not entail a significant change in the behavior of the vehicle as a whole system vis-à-vis the user and / or that an improved usability One or more vehicle functions, for example, improvement of at least one vehicle dynamics parameter (torque characteristics, acceleration behavior, agility, cornering, etc.) is achieved.

Depending on the information determined for adapting the energy distribution within a second vehicle in a second energy utilization process, in the method according to the invention an appropriate user information to the user (eg driver of the vehicle) can take place by means of an output. Such user information may represent at least one criterion of adapting the energy distribution and / or at least one result of adapting the energy distribution and / or at least one reason of adapting the energy distribution. In the method, such user information may preferably be output before or during a second energy utilization process, for example on a display device of the vehicle or of a mobile user device.

According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one usage parameter is represented as a function of at least one information on the use of at least one vehicle system of the first vehicle by the driver and / or an occupant during the first energy utilization process, in particular with one or more of the following information: Information about the use at least a driver assistance system, and / or information about at least one, in particular made by the driver, setting a used driver assistance system, and / or information about at least one, in particular made by the driver, setting regarding at least one variable property of the chassis of the vehicle, and / or information about the use of heating or air conditioning functions by at least one occupant of the vehicle. The term "driver assistance system" as used above, as usual, designates additional electronic devices in motor vehicles to assist the driver in certain driving situations. Here, safety aspects are often in the foreground, as well as the enhancement of driving comfort. Another aspect is the improvement of the economy of the motor vehicle (Source: Wikipedia).

In a further advantageous embodiment, at least one usage parameter depends on the driving behavior or driving style (see above) of a driver and / or driving behavior of a vehicle function for an at least partially automated driving, in particular with regard to consumption of energy, in particular of at least two (specific) types of energy. determined. In this case, the usage parameter can relate directly to the use of the driving function of the vehicle.

In this case, also determining, storing and applying the data for the division of the types of energy for an energy conversion system of the first vehicle can be carried out as a particularly efficiently achievable "usage-related", in particular "distance-related" energy utilization plan. At the same time, the data for the allocation of the types of energy can be used as input variables for a partially automatically created logbook, an individual statistic or fleet statistics, for example for further optimization or provision.

The at least one usage parameter may preferably represent a plurality of characteristic values which represent a consumption of one or more types of energy. Also, the at least one usage parameter may have more than one explicit or implicit reference to the energy consumption of one or more types of energy. Such characteristic values of the usage parameter can be statistical values, for example average values, minimum values or maximum values and / or they can represent a specific course of use, for example a sequence of actions.

The at least one usage parameter particularly preferably relates to at least one specific behavior pattern of a driver and / or another occupant of the vehicle, which are specific to particular energy consumption patterns, in particular to the energy of a specific type. For example, the usage parameter may include qualitative and / or quantitative parameters and / or behavior patterns representing the driving behavior. For driving behavior, statistical characteristics for the start-up (for example after a waiting time at a traffic light or when granting right of way), for example for the present energy utilization process, can follow preceding vehicle, a typical acceleration behavior or braking behavior and the approach to stationary or moving obstacles are counted. Furthermore, the driving behavior may be understood as a logical or parametric or causal relationship between certain aspects of the driving context and the driver's reaction and / or vehicle function for at least partially automated driving to a particular driving context. The usage parameter representing a driving behavior of a vehicle function for an at least partially automated driving can be determined on the basis of the properties of such a function (for example, as so-called driving strategy, maneuver logic, decision logic, respective characteristic curves, etc.).

Particularly preferably, the at least one usage parameter represents a multiplicity of the information for using the first vehicle during the first energy utilization process, in particular a driving behavior with which the vehicle is driven (by the driver and / or at least partially automated).

In particular, the usage parameter of the first vehicle may represent one or more (mutatis mutandis corresponding) statistical relationships for the use of the first vehicle.

However, one or more operating parameters of a driver assistance system of the vehicle can also serve as a usage parameter, which in particular represents the driving behavior. In this case, at least one usage parameter can represent one or more operating parameters (for example states or modes during operation of a driver assistance system) of the first vehicle. This is particularly preferably a driver assistance system for supporting a longitudinal guidance and / or transverse guidance of the vehicle or for at least partially automated driving. Such driver assistance systems can take into account a large number of the data from the surroundings detection (by means of sensors) and / or map data and / or backend data.

In the method, a usage parameter can be determined in particular as a cumulative and / or normalized value, which is directly or indirectly characteristic of the (for example, resulting) usage parameter, depending on these data.

The at least one usage parameter may preferably represent information for the use of a driver assistance system by the driver, in particular during the first energy utilization process. In a subsequent adaptation of the second energy utilization process, one or more then valid parameters or states of the driver assistance system can be taken into account as usage parameters for optimizing the at least one operating parameter in the first vehicle or in the second vehicle. In this case, the usage parameter can relate directly to the use of the driving function of the vehicle, in particular to certain aspects of the driving function of the vehicle.

A usage parameter which represents at least one information on the use of the first vehicle during the first energy utilization process or which is associated with at least one quantity taking into account or representing the use of the vehicle can thus represent a driving statistic of the first vehicle and / or stand for a vehicle setting which substantially affect a drive mode of the first vehicle, and / or correspond to at least one predicted driving distance for the first vehicle and / or have calendar data of a user of the first vehicle to the base and / or a use of the first vehicle for a specific specific purpose.

In this case, one or more values of at least one (specific) energy parameter can be determined, which represents an energy utilized during the first energy utilization process in the first vehicle (in the first energy utilization process in one or more time segments or sections). Depending on the type of energy, an energy parameter may be a fuel parameter or parameter of an energy store for generating and / or storing electrical energy. An energy parameter of an energy store may also include characteristic numbers of a battery or values derived therefrom. An energy parameter can, for.

In this case, at least one energy utilization parameter can represent a statistical relationship to the variables mentioned. For example, the emission values per driven distance or time interval can be represented. Furthermore, the energy utilization parameter can also represent respective maximum, minimum, cumulative, average or related to further sizes key figures. For example, a value for environmental efficiency may depend on several predetermined coefficients, e.g. B. by means of a weighting of different types of emissions, represented. In the method, at least one energy utilization parameter is particularly preferably formed as a mathematical ratio of two or more parameters which represent a result of the energy utilization process. For example, at least one energy utilization parameter can express a ratio of the drive power achieved in the respective energy utilization process and / or the effective drive energy to the corresponding characteristics of emission data in the same time interval. Particularly preferably, at least one energy utilization parameter can be determined as a cumulative value of an environmental efficiency and / or an energy efficiency for the respective energy utilization process.

In other words, at least one specific feature (for example, a specific feature related to the age or mileage of the vehicle) of the first vehicle and / or of a second vehicle can be taken into account in the method in the form of a vehicle-specific influencing variable. Thus, in the method according to the invention, there is a further advantage, namely that this method can be applied to a large number of different vehicles in terms of energy utilization.

In particular, the vehicle-specific influencing variable may include a deviation from a specific standard or average values and / or properties in a new state of the vehicle. In particular, the influencing variable can also explicitly or implicitly represent a difference between the first and the second vehicle, in particular with regard to the energy utilization properties. A vehicle-specific influencing variable can already be determined during a first energy utilization process and provided together with the profile data record, in particular as part of the profile data record or the mathematical relationship. In this case, the properties of the particular first vehicle which provides the mathematical relationship (for further use) can also be taken into account in the further method.

In this case, profile data sets and other data for a plurality of vehicles can be read in by means of the mobile user device. For example, very efficient and accurate predictions about the remaining service life of certain vehicle components (of a particular vehicle or vehicle type) can be determined. Thus, data for changing a state and / or a degree of wear and / or an estimate of the (residual) life can also be obtained for vehicles without a corresponding data acquisition, IT infrastructure, etc.

Resulting profile data set due to the plurality of first vehicles can then be determined according to predetermined mathematical criteria. For example, the resulting profile data set by means of statistical parameters, eg. B. average sizes or limits are determined, which are formed from the plurality of profiles of the plurality of first vehicles.

In a further advantageous refinement, in the method according to the invention, a profile data record or a resulting profile data record is assigned and / or adapted depending on predefined similarity criteria, depending on an anticipated or pre-determined use of a first vehicle and / or a second vehicle, wherein the assignment of a profile data set depends in particular on one predetermined route section and / or a predetermined route type and / or is assigned by the expected boundary conditions of energy utilization in a first vehicle or in a second vehicle in a second energy recovery operation.

In the method, at least one route-dependent optimization, in particular an optimization of a scientific connection between the energy parameter and certain (planned or probable) route sections can be carried out.

In a further advantageous embodiment according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, depending on predetermined similarity criteria, the respective profile data record is assigned to a predetermined route section and / or a predetermined route route type. For this purpose, the respective profile data sets, for example, from different first vehicles to a backend (ie a central server or computer, which can be operated, for example, by the vehicle manufacturer) are preferably transmitted to this end. The assignment takes place for example by means of the backend or an Internetprotal. This has the advantage that the profile data records can be varied on the basis of an entered or planned route. Furthermore, at least one distance-dependent information, in particular a scientific connection with fuels relative to a planned or probable upcoming route, can also be determined from a database or the backend.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the determined mathematical relationship also includes a reference to at least one parameter, which represents a boundary condition of the energy utilization of the vehicle in a first energy utilization process. Accordingly, in the method according to the invention, said mathematical relationship may be between at least one or more of the value (s) of at least one energy utilization parameter and the corresponding values of at least one usage parameter with respect to at least one aspect of the use of the first vehicle in the first energy recovery operation and further with the corresponding values of parameters the at least one boundary condition for energy utilization in the first vehicle are produced.

Thus, in the method according to the invention, the at least one parameter for the boundary condition of the energy utilization can be determined as a function of driving context data in the first vehicle in a first energy utilization process, the driving context data preferably being determined as a function of the data of an environmental sensor system of the first vehicle during the first energy utilization process.

Furthermore, a driving route parameter that explicitly or implicitly represents energy consumption can also belong to the driving context.

The said boundary condition for the energy utilization is preferably one which has a significant relevance with regard to the utilization of a specific type of energy and / or a particular fuel parameter. For example, the parameter of the boundary condition of the energy utilization may include an environmental state quantity, for example an air humidity, an outside temperature and / or an air pressure and / or local air pollution. Furthermore, this parameter of the boundary condition of the energy utilization can also represent a temperature of the internal combustion engine or of a transmission in the vehicle drive train, but also the temperature of an exhaust gas catalytic converter. In this case, the at least one parameter of the boundary condition of the energy utilization can represent a permanent or variable boundary condition of the fuel utilization with respect to the first vehicle and / or its internal combustion engine and / or the environment of the first vehicle.

Also, the pre-determined settings for the first vehicle and / or an expected result of the change of attitude can be displayed. The setting changes can also be selected and / or changed by the user individually or in total. It can thus be graphically visualized in particular to the user of the second vehicle, what will change on his motor vehicle and, if so, how and on what the setting changes will affect. Then he can selectively decide on a total or selective basis, for example also make a combination of two or more decisions, for example by selecting and / or moving a selection slider (so-called sliders).

In a further advantageous refinement according to the first and second aspects, the at least one profile data record comprises or takes into account the composition of the fuel in the tank of the first vehicle that is decisive for the first energy utilization process, wherein the adaptation information for adjusting the energy distribution in the second vehicle is again taken into account in accordance with FIG the second energy recovery process authoritative composition of the fuel in the tank of the second vehicle is determined.

In this case, an improved adaptation of the energy distribution with regard to the respective fuel parameters in a first vehicle and / or in a second vehicle can be achieved. Thus, adaptation information from a first vehicle may also be effectively used for a second vehicle even when operated with different compositions of the fuels having different fuel parameters.

These can each be a current or relevant for the respective energy recovery process composition of a fuel in the tank of the respective vehicle. These can in the process depending on a first (previous) composition of a fuel in a tank of the vehicle and a second, z. B. determined in the process (as a result desired) fuel composition and / or determined in the process, for. B. for the implementation of Process desired fuel parameters are determined. In this case, for example, known (partly non-linear) formulas and relationships can be taken into account characterizing for one or more fuel parameters of a mixture of at least two components.

Furthermore, the method can also include a direct or indirect influence on at least one subsequent refueling of a second vehicle depending on the at least one provided profile data record, so to speak in preparation for a future (second) fuel utilization phase. In this case, certain proportions of at least two different types of fuel and / or a mixing ratio of predetermined fuel components of the fuel to be fueled for a subsequent refueling can be determined.

For example, in the method, for example, be determined by means of a computer product in the form of application software and / or executed, which subset of which fuel to refuel, so that mix the respective subsets in the tank of the vehicle to an optimal mix. Preferably, there is also a determination and / or retrieval of adapted admixtures or mixing ratios. These can also be implemented by the energy agency and / or added by the user based on the information generated in the process. In particular, an optimized fuel composition within an energy type can also be determined. In particular, this fuel composition may contain components having different octane numbers, and / or ethanol components (and related species), and / or methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and / or ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE), and / or lubricants and Additives and / or exhaust-reducing agents and / or other active agents or additives, for example based on nano-particles concern. In this case, the profile data set may include one or more scientifically expressed characteristic curves which comprise one or more optimized parameters or parameter relationships for the optimized fuel depending on the above-mentioned criteria, in particular also with reference to the external conditions.

In this context, the method according to the invention can thus also include a control of a device of a gas station for changing the abovementioned characteristic values as a function of the determined adaptation information. Preferably, a virtually continuous control (or a control in small steps) is provided for the fuel composition to be dispensed. In this process, the proportions of MTBE and / or ETBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether, or ethyl tertiary butyl ether) in the delivered fuel can preferably be varied depending on a profile record provided. The demand of different vehicles for these substances varies with different boundary conditions. Therefore, a great environmental benefit and cost benefits can be achieved. In particular, in the method, depending on a provided profile data set, at least a mixing ratio or an admixture of certain fuel components is at least partially optimized if, for example, fuel types stored or mixed in a tank or in at least two tanks (generally containers) of the vehicle are combined.

However, depending on the determined adaptation information in the method according to the invention, it is also possible to adapt a division between the types of energy of a power supply of a drive system of the at least one first vehicle and / or of a second vehicle in the second energy utilization process between different types of energy, such as, for example, between gas fuel and Otto - fuel or diesel fuel, or between electric charge and petrol or diesel fuel or between natural gas and an electric charge.

But it is also an adaptation to changing fuel standards and / or new types of fuel possible. It is particularly advantageous that, if necessary, no or only a small amount of hardware adaptation of the vehicle is necessary for carrying out the method, which enables a quick market introduction. Even vehicles already in series can use the process for adjusting the energy utilization without hardware retrofitting. The advantages of the method can thus also be rolled out on vehicles in series (without hardware retrofitting).
