Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Übermittlung von Fahrzeugdaten eines Kraftfahrzeuges an ein aus dem Kraftfahrzeug entnehmbares Speicherelement, wobei die Fahrzeugdaten im Verlaufe einer Fahrt wenigstens zwei Mal an das Speicherelement übermittelt und auf dem Speicherelement gespeichert werden.The invention relates to a method for transmitting vehicle data of a motor vehicle to a removable from the motor vehicle storage element, wherein the vehicle data transmitted in the course of a trip at least twice to the memory element and stored on the memory element.

Es ist bekannt, Fahrzeugdaten an ein entnehmbares Speicherelement zu übermitteln und auf dem Speicherelement zu speichern. Aus der DE 199 19 501 A1 ist es bekannt, betriebsabhängige Fahrzeugdaten in einem Fahrzeugschlüssel mit Transponder zu speichern. Die betriebsabhängigen Daten werden von der elektronischen Anzeigeeinheit über die elektronische Wegfahrsperre an den Schlüssel übermittelt und auf einem Speicherelement des Schlüssels gespeichert.It is known to transmit vehicle data to a removable memory element and to store it on the memory element. From the DE 199 19 501 A1 It is known to store operation-dependent vehicle data in a vehicle key with transponder. The operation-dependent data are transmitted from the electronic display unit via the electronic immobilizer to the key and stored on a memory element of the key.

Ferner ist es aus der DE 102 22 141 A1 bekannt, Fahrzeugdaten drahtlos an ein Speichermedium zu übermitteln und dort zu speichern. Die Fahrzeugdaten werden bei Fahrtbeginn vom Kraftfahrzeug an das Speichermedium übertragen und, sobald neue Fehlerdaten während einer Fahrt festgestellt werden, werden sie entweder sofort übertragen oder in einem Zwischenspeicher gespeichert. Am Fahrtende werden Änderungen und/oder Ergänzungen der zu Fahrtbeginn im Speicher gespeicherten Daten durchgeführt.Furthermore, it is from the DE 102 22 141 A1 known to transmit vehicle data wirelessly to a storage medium and store there. The vehicle data are transmitted at the start of the journey by the motor vehicle to the storage medium and, as soon as new fault data are detected during a journey, they are either transmitted immediately or stored in a buffer. At the end of the journey, changes and / or additions to the data stored in memory at the start of the journey are carried out.

DE 10 2006 041 765 B4 offenbart ein Verfahren, bei dem ein Kilometerstand eines Kraftfahrzeugs an ein Speicherelement übermittelt und auf dem Speicherelement gespeichert wird, wobei nur ein Kilometerstand, der größer als der zuletzt gespeicherte Kilometerstand ist, gespeichert werden kann. DE 10 2006 041 765 B4 discloses a method in which a mileage of a motor vehicle is transmitted to a storage element and stored on the storage element, wherein only a mileage that is greater than the last stored mileage can be stored.

Der Kilometerstand wird in definierten Abständen während der Fahrt zum Speicherelement im Funkschlüssel gesendet, jedoch dort nur abgespeichert, wenn der empfangene Wert größer ist als der zuletzt abgespeicherte. Das heißt, dass kleinere Kilometerstände, wie sie beispielsweise durch Manipulation am Fahrzeug entstehen, nicht im Schlüssel eingetragen werden. Dadurch steht nach Manipulation in Form eines Zurückdrehens des Kilometerstandes dieser nur im Fahrzeug und nicht im Schlüssel.The mileage is sent in defined intervals while driving to the memory element in the radio key, but there only stored if the received value is greater than the last stored. This means that smaller mileages, such as those caused by manipulation of the vehicle, are not entered in the key. As a result, after manipulation in the form of turning back the mileage, this only in the vehicle and not in the key.

Da nach dem Zurückdrehen des Kilometerstandes dieser im Fahrzeug jedoch nicht in den Schlüssel gespeichert wird, besteht für eine Zeit lang eine Differenz zwischen Schlüssel- und Fahrzeugkilometerstand, wodurch die Manipulation nachgewiesen werden kann. Nach gewisser Zeit holt jedoch der Fahrzeugkilometerstand den Schlüsselkilometerstand wieder ein und eine Manipulation ist nicht mehr nachweisbar.However, since after turning back the mileage of this in the vehicle is not stored in the key, there is a difference between the key and the vehicle mileage for a while, whereby the manipulation can be detected. After some time, however, the vehicle mileage level recovers the key mileage and a manipulation is no longer detectable.

DE 198 21 696 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Übertragen und Speichern einer Information, die durch eine Anzahl von zeitlich aufeinander folgenden Impulsen gegeben ist, insbesondere einer von einem Kraftfahrzeug zurückgelegten Wegstrecke, bei welchem Verfahren eine Zählereinheit einlaufende Impulse zählt, die jeweils nach vorbestimmten Zeitdauern vorhandene Anzahl der eingelaufenen Impulse in nach einem Verschlüsselungsalgorithmus verschlüsselter Form an eine Empfängereinheit übertragen wird, in der Empfängereinheit die nach dem gleichen Verschlüsselungsalgorithmus entschlüsselte Anzahl ermittelt wird und die Summe aller Anzahlen gespeichert wird. DE 198 21 696 A1 discloses a method for transmitting and storing information given by a number of temporally successive pulses, in particular a motor vehicle covered distance, in which method a counter unit counts incoming pulses each having predetermined number of pulses in run is transmitted to a receiver unit according to an encryption algorithm of encrypted form, in the receiver unit the decrypted according to the same encryption algorithm number is determined and the sum of all numbers is stored.

DE 199 19 501 B4 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Speicherung von betriebsabhängigen Fahrzeugdaten in einem entnehmbaren Speicherelement. DE 199 19 501 B4 describes a device for storing operation-dependent vehicle data in a removable memory element.

Die US 2008/294312 A1 beschreibt ein Verfahren zum sicheren Berechnen und Speichern von Kilometerzählerdaten. Eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung ist mit dem Motor gekoppelt und erfasst regelmäßig Kilometerzählerdaten. Diese Daten werden an eine weitere Steuereinrichtung übermittelt, mittels welcher die Daten auf einer Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt werden können. Die weitere Steuereinrichtung umfasst einen Speicher und ein Kilometerzähler-Management-System. Die vom Kilometerzähler-Management-System berechneten Daten werden regelmäßig im Speicher abgespeichert.The US 2008/294312 A1 describes a method for safely calculating and storing odometer data. An electronic control device is coupled to the engine and regularly collects odometer data. These data are transmitted to a further control device, by means of which the data can be displayed on a display unit. The further control device comprises a memory and an odometer management system. The from the Odometer Management System calculated data is regularly stored in memory.

Die EP 1 283 408 A2 beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Speichern von Kilometerstandsdaten in einem Kraftfahrzeug. Dabei werden die aktuellen Kilometerstandsdaten auf einem weiteren Steuergerät abgespeichert, wobei ein an das weitere Steuergerät gesendeter Kilometerstand nur dann abgespeichert wird, wenn dieser höher ist als ein zuvor abgespeicherter.The EP 1 283 408 A2 describes a method for storing odometer data in a motor vehicle. The current odometer data are stored on a further control unit, with a mileage transmitted to the further control unit only being stored if it is higher than a previously stored one.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass das Speicherelement gegen eine Manipulation des Kilometerstandes geschützt ist.The object of the present invention is to develop a method of the type mentioned in such a way that the memory element is protected against manipulation of the mileage.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen beschriebenen Erfindungen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is achieved by the inventions described in the independent claims. Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims.

In einem Verfahren zur Übermittlung von Fahrzeugdaten in Form von Kilometerständen eines Kraftfahrzeugs an ein aus dem Kraftfahrzeug entnehmbares Speicherelement mit einem Zähler wird in Zeitabständen vom Kraftfahrzeug der Kilometerstand des Kraftfahrzeuges auf das Speicherelement übermittelt und im Zähler jeweils nach Übermittlung des Kilometerstandes die Differenz zwischen dem zuletzt übermittelten und dem neu übermittelten Kilometerstand aufaddiert.In a method for transmitting vehicle data in the form of mileage of a motor vehicle to a removable from the motor vehicle storage element with a counter of the motor vehicle, the mileage of the motor vehicle is transmitted to the memory element at intervals and the counter in each case after transmission of the mileage, the difference between the last transmitted and the newly transmitted mileage added up.

Im Speicherelement, das insbesondere das Speicherelement eines Schlüssels und/oder Funkschlüssels ist, existiert also ein Zähler für den absoluten Kilometerstand auf den immer die Differenz zwischen letztem Stand und neuem Stand addiert wird. Wird der Kilometerstand im Kraftfahrzeug zurückgedreht und an den Schlüssel gesendet, so wird der zurückgedrehte, kleinere Wert als alter Wert gesetzt. Beim nächsten Schreiben des Kilometerstands wird dann wieder die Differenz zwischen altem und neuem Kilometerstand zum absoluten Kilometerstand addiert.In the memory element, which is in particular the memory element of a key and / or radio key, so there is a counter for the absolute mileage on the always the difference between last state and new state is added. If the mileage in the motor vehicle is turned back and sent to the key, then the turned back, smaller value is set as an old value. The next time you write the mileage, the difference between the old and the new mileage is then added back to the absolute mileage.

Sollte der neu übermittelte Kilometerstand also kleiner als der zuletzt übermittelte sein, so wird nicht die Differenz auf den absoluten Kilometerstand aufaddiert, sondern lediglich der neu übermittelte Kilometerstand als Basis für die nächste Differenz-Berechnung gesetzt. Das Auftreten dieses Ereignisses wird im Schlüssel irreversibel abgespeichert.If the newly transmitted mileage is thus smaller than the last transmitted, so the difference is not added to the absolute mileage, but only set the newly transmitted mileage as the basis for the next difference calculation. The occurrence of this event is stored irreversibly in the key.

Die Differenz wird nicht aufaddiert, da diese für den beschriebenen Fall negativ wäre. Das eventuelle Verpassen bzw. Nicht-Einrechnen der Differenz während der Manipulation wird akzeptiert, jedoch das Auftreten der Manipulation im Schlüssel abgespeichert.The difference is not added up because it would be negative for the case described. Any missing or disagreement of the difference during the manipulation is accepted, but the occurrence of the manipulation is stored in the key.

Durch die Aufaddierung der Differenz von altem und neuem Kilometerstand entsteht im Schlüssel quasi ein absoluter Kilometerzähler. Zudem ist es durch dieses Verfahren auch möglich, die gefahrenen Kilometer nach Manipulation zu registrieren. Ein Manipulieren des Kilometerstandes im Fahrzeug zeigt also keine Auswirkungen auf den Kilometerstand im Schlüssel. Somit weißt nach Manipulation das Fahrzeug einen kleineren Kilometerstand auf als der Schlüssel.Adding up the difference between old and new mileage results in an almost absolute odometer in the key. In addition, it is also possible by this method to register the driven kilometers after manipulation. Manipulating the mileage in the vehicle thus does not affect the mileage in the vehicle Key. Thus, after manipulation, the vehicle has a smaller odometer reading than the key.

Das Verfahren zur Übermittlung der Fahrzeugdaten kann insbesondere bei Fahrtbeginn die folgenden Schritte aufweisen: Einschalten der Zündung, eine Verzögerungszeit nach dem Einschalten der Zündung und/oder die Überschreitung einer parametrierbaren/vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit abwarten, die Fahrzeugdaten nach Erfüllung dieser Kriterien an das Speicherelement übermitteln und Übermitteln der Fahrzeugdaten für eine vorgegebene Änderung im Kilometerstand an das Speicherelement sowie Speichern im Speicherelement.The method for transmitting the vehicle data may have the following steps, in particular when starting to drive: switch on the ignition, wait for a delay time after switching on the ignition and / or exceeding a parameterizable / predetermined speed, transmit the vehicle data to the memory element after fulfillment of these criteria and transmit the vehicle data for a given change in the mileage to the memory element and storing in the memory element.

Das Speicherelement ist vorzugsweise mit einem Fahrzeugberechtigungselement, sowie mit einem Fahrzeugschlüssel, einem Zündschlüssel oder einer Chipkarte verknüpft. Das Speicherelement kann aber auch ein anderes vom Kraftfahrzeug wieder entnehmbares separates Speicherelement sein.The memory element is preferably linked to a vehicle authorization element, as well as to a vehicle key, an ignition key or a chip card. The storage element may also be another removable from the motor vehicle separate storage element.

Vorzugsweise werden die Fahrzeugdaten verschlüsselt auf dem Speicherelement gespeichert. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, die Fahrzeugdaten im Kraftfahrzeug zu verschlüsseln und verschlüsselt an das Speicherelement zu übermitteln. Die Fahrzeugdaten werden beim oder nach dem Auslesen der Fahrzeugdaten wieder entschlüsselt.Preferably, the vehicle data is stored in encrypted form on the storage element. It is particularly preferable to encrypt the vehicle data in the motor vehicle and to transmit it in encrypted form to the memory element. The vehicle data is decrypted again during or after reading the vehicle data.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass die Übermittlung der Fahrzeugdaten sowohl durch ein konventionelles Fahrzeugberechtigungselement mit einer Wegfahrsperre und einem Transponder, als Basisbetrieb gekennzeichnet, als auch durch Keyless Betrieb erfolgen kann. Der Keyless Betrieb kann beispielsweise durch LF, Bluetooth, Infrarot, oder RF erfolgen. Das Fahrzeugberechtigungselement muss sich im Keyless Betrieb nur innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges oder im Fahrzeuginnenraum befinden um mit dem Steuergerät der Fahrberechtigung kommunizieren zu können.It is envisaged that the transmission of the vehicle data can be effected both by a conventional vehicle authorization element with an immobilizer and a transponder, characterized as basic operation, as well as by keyless operation. The Keyless operation can be done for example by LF, Bluetooth, infrared, or RF. The vehicle authorization element must be in keyless operation only within the motor vehicle or in the vehicle interior to be able to communicate with the control device of the driving authorization.

Aus Gründen des Diebstahl- und Datenschutzes ist bevorzugt, dass ausgewählte Fahrzeugdaten nur dann schreib- und/oder lesbar sind, wenn das Speicherelement zuvor authentifiziert wurde. Die Authentifikation erfolgt zwischen dem Speicherelement und einem Wegfahrsperre-Steuergerät des Kraftfahrzeuges.For reasons of theft and data protection, it is preferred that selected vehicle data can only be read-write and / or readable if the memory element has been previously authenticated. The authentication takes place between the memory element and an immobilizer control unit of the motor vehicle.

Bei weiteren im Speicherelement gespeicherten Informationen kann es sich beispielsweise um eine oder mehrere der folgenden Informationen handeln: Datum, Uhrzeit, Öl-Stand, Öl-Inspektionsintervalldaten, Wartungsintervalldaten, Verschleißdaten (z.B. Bremsbelag), Tankinhalt, Menge verbrandeten Kraftstoffes, Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit.Other information stored in the memory element may include, for example, one or more of the following information: date, time, oil level, oil inspection interval data, service interval data, wear data (e.g., brake pad), tank contents, amount of fuel burned, vehicle speed.

Ferner ist vorgesehen, dass auch die Zustände im Kraftfahrzeug erfasst und übermittelt werden, welche einen aktiven Fehler-Status oder eine Warnung kennzeichnen.It is further provided that the states in the motor vehicle are detected and transmitted, which indicate an active error status or a warning.

Ein Speichervorgang kann bei dem Auftreten von vorherbestimmten Triggerereignissen eingeleitet werden. Die Triggerereignisse umfassen bevorzugt außer die oben genannte Speicherung bei Fahrtbeginn und die Speicherung bei einer vorgegebenen Änderung im Kilometerstand auch die Entstehung einer Fehlermeldung eines Steuergerätes. Um die Entstehung einer Fehlermeldung oder Warnung nachvollziehen zu können, wird der Zustand der Fehlermeldungen und Warnungen in einem Steuergerät des Kraftfahrzeuges, beispielsweise im Wegfahrsperren Steuergerät, aktuell gehalten. Wird eine zusätzliche Fehlermeldung im Vergleich zur letzten Abspeicherung der Fehlermeldungen registriert, ist dies ein Ereignis-Trigger, welcher einen erneuten Abspeichervorgang auslöst.A save operation may be initiated upon the occurrence of predetermined trigger events. The trigger events preferably include except the above-mentioned storage at the start of the journey and the Storage at a given change in the mileage and the emergence of an error message of a control unit. In order to understand the emergence of an error message or warning, the state of the error messages and warnings in a control unit of the motor vehicle, for example in the immobilizer control unit, kept current. If an additional error message is registered compared to the last time the error messages were saved, this is an event trigger, which triggers a new saving process.

Ferner ist vorgesehen, dass die Übermittlung der Fahrzeugdaten auch durch einen Befehl des Fahrers eingeleitet werden kann, beispielsweise durch Knopfdrücken.It is further provided that the transmission of the vehicle data can also be initiated by a command of the driver, for example by pressing a button.

Bevorzugt wird nur der aktuelle Zustand der Informationen abgespeichert. Darüber hinaus ist bevorzugt, dass ein Abspeichervorgang eine Abspeicherung aller Fahrzeugdaten umfasst. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird der benötigte Speicherplatz im Speicherelement zweifach reserviert, so dass zwei Blöcke von Daten vorhanden sind. Die Fahrzeugdaten werden dann abwechselnd abhängig vom Erfolg des letzten Schreibens in einen der Blöcke geschrieben. Dabei ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass zumindest ein gültiger, wenn auch veralteter Block von Fahrzeugdaten im Speicherelement vorhanden ist.Preferably, only the current state of the information is stored. Moreover, it is preferred that a storage process comprises a storage of all vehicle data. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the required memory space in the memory element is reserved twice so that there are two blocks of data. The vehicle data is then alternately written in one of the blocks depending on the success of the last writing. The probability is high that at least one valid, albeit obsolete block of vehicle data is present in the memory element.

Die Datensicherheit kann durch die Berechnung einer Checksumme über die gesamten gespeicherten Fahrzeugdaten in herkömmlicher Weise gewährleistet werden, auch wenn ein Speichervorgang unterbrochen werden sollte.Data security can be ensured by calculating a checksum over the entire stored vehicle data in a conventional manner, even if a save operation should be interrupted.

Ein Speicherelement ist insbesondere eingerichtet eines der zuvor beschriebenen Verfahren auszuführen.A memory element is in particular configured to carry out one of the methods described above.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den im Folgenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen sowie anhand der Zeichnungen. Dabei zeigen:

In Fig. 1 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug 1 schematisch dargestellt. Das Kraftfahrzeug 1 enthält ein Wegfahrsperre-Steuergerät 2 und eine Anzahl von Steuergeräten 3, welche von dem Wegfahrsperren-Steuergerät 2 angesteuert werden. Das Kraftfahrzeug 1 kann sowohl in einem Basisbetrieb, wo ein Schlüssel 4 im Zündschloss 5 steckt, als auch im Keyless Betrieb, wo einen Schlüssel 4 sich nur innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges 1 oder im Fahrzeuginnenraum befinden muss, betrieben werden. Im Keyless Betrieb wird das Kraftfahrzeug 1 per Knopfdruck (Drucktaster 6) gestartet.In Fig. 1 a motor vehicle 1 is shown schematically. The motor vehicle 1 includes an immobilizer control unit 2 and a number of control units 3, which are controlled by the immobilizer control unit 2. The motor vehicle 1 can be operated both in a basic operation, where a key 4 is inserted in the ignition lock 5, as well as in keyless operation, where a key 4 must be located only within the motor vehicle 1 or in the vehicle interior. In Keyless operation, the motor vehicle 1 by pressing a button (push button 6) is started.

Von dem Wegfahrsperren-Steuergerät 2 werden Fahrzeugdaten, die den Kilometerstand enthalten, bereitgestellt und nach Eintreffen eines Triggerereignisses an den Schlüssel 4 übertragen und auf dem Speicherelement 7 im Schlüssel 4 gespeichert. Die Übermittlung der Fahrzeugdaten vom Wegfahrsperren-Steuergerät 2 an den Schlüssel 4 erfolgt im Basisbetrieb mittels eines Transponders 8 des Schlüssels 4 und einen entsprechenden Transponder des Zündschlosses 5. Im Keyless Betrieb erfolgt die Übermittlung durch LF (Niederfrequenz), Bluetooth oder RF 9. In einem Speicherelement 10 des Wegfahrsperren-Steuergeräts 2 sind die Fahrzeugdaten zwischengespeichert.From the immobilizer control unit 2, vehicle data containing the mileage is provided and transmitted to the key 4 upon arrival of a trigger event and stored on the memory element 7 in the key 4. The transmission of the vehicle data from the immobilizer control unit 2 to the key 4 is carried out in basic mode by means of a transponder 8 of the key 4 and a corresponding transponder of the ignition 5. In keyless operation, the transmission takes place by LF (low frequency), Bluetooth or RF 9. In one Memory element 10 of the immobilizer control unit 2, the vehicle data are cached.

Im Schlüssel 4 existiert ein Zähler für den absoluten Kilometerstand auf den immer die Differenz zwischen letztem Stand und neuem Stand addiert wird. Wird der Kilometerstand im Kraftfahrzeug 1 zurückgedreht und an den Schlüssel gesendet, so wird der zurückgedrehte, kleinere Wert als alter Wert gesetzt. Beim nächsten Schreiben des Kilometerstands wird dann wieder die Differenz zwischen altem und neuem Kilometerstand zum absoluten Kilometerstand addiert.In the key 4 there is a counter for the absolute mileage to which the difference between last state and new state is always added. If the mileage in motor vehicle 1 is turned back and sent to the key, then the turned back, smaller value is set as an old value. The next time you write the mileage, the difference between the old and the new mileage is then added back to the absolute mileage.

In Fig. 2 sind einige der Triggerereignisse näher erläutert. Fig. 2 zeigt als Diagramm die Geschwindigkeit eines Kraftfahrzeuges als Funktion der Zeit. Das Verfahren zur Übermittlung der Fahrzeugdaten bei Fahrtbeginn startet beim Einschalten der Zündung (Basisbetrieb oder Keyless Betrieb) zur Zeit T0 = 0. Nach einer Verzögerungszeit t1 wird ein erster Zeittrigger aktiv. Die erste Abspeicherung wartet aber noch die Überschreitung einer parametrierbaren oder vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit V1 ab, und erst, wenn auch der Geschwindigkeits-Trigger aktiv ist, zur Zeit T2, wird ein Abspeichervorgang 11 eingeleitet und die Fahrzeugdaten an das Speicherelement 7 übermittelt. Indem die Fahrzeugdaten für jede vorgegebene Änderung im Kilometerstand an das Speicherelement 7 übermittelt und auf dem Speicherelement 7 gespeichert werden, wird nach einem Delta-Kilometerstand, in diesem Fall 100 km, ein Delta-Kilometerstand Trigger aktiv und ein zweiter Abspeichervorgang 12 wird eingeleitet. In diesem Beispiel erfolgt der erste Abspeichervorgang 11 bei W1 = 40 km und der zweite Abspeichervorgang 12 erfolgt 100 km später bei W2 = 140 km. Um einen Abbruch eines laufenden Abspeichervorgangs zu vermeiden, ist bevorzugt, dass ein Abspeichervorgang nur bei einer Geschwindigkeit größer als eine Geschwindigkeitsschwelle V1 eingeleitet wird. V1 kann beispielsweise eine Geschwindigkeit von in der Größenordnung von 20 km/h sein. Das heißt, sowohl der Delta-Kilometerstand Trigger als auch der Geschwindigkeits-Trigger müssen den Status "aktiv" aufweisen, bevor ein Delta-Kilometerstand Abspeichervorgang eingeleitet wird. Ein weiterer Speichervorgang 13 wird von dem Delta-Kilometerstand Trigger beim T = T4 und W = W4 = 240 km ausgelöst. Bei T = T5 wird ein Warnungs-Trigger aktiv und löst nochmals einen Abspeichervorgang 14 aus.In Fig. 2 some of the trigger events are explained in more detail. Fig. 2 shows as a diagram the speed of a motor vehicle as a function of time. The method for transmitting the vehicle data at the start of the journey starts when the ignition is switched on (basic operation or keyless operation) at time T 0 = 0. After a delay time t 1 , a first time trigger becomes active. The first storage but still waiting for the exceeding of a parameterizable or predetermined speed V 1 , and only when the speed trigger is active, at time T 2 , a storage process 11 is initiated and transmitted the vehicle data to the memory element 7. By the vehicle data for each predetermined change in the mileage transmitted to the memory element 7 and stored on the memory element 7, after a delta mileage, in this case 100 km, a delta-mileage trigger active and a second storage operation 12 is initiated. In this example, the first storage operation 11 takes place at W 1 = 40 km and the second storage operation 12 takes place 100 km later at W 2 = 140 km. In order to avoid termination of a current storage process, it is preferred that a storage process be initiated only at a speed greater than a speed threshold V 1 . V 1 may be, for example, a speed of the order of 20 km / h. That is, both the Delta Mileage Triggers and the Speed Triggers must be in the "Active" state before initiating a Delta Mileage Saving operation. Another storage operation 13 is triggered by the delta mileage trigger at T = T 4 and W = W 4 = 240 km. At T = T 5 , a warning trigger becomes active and triggers another storing process 14.

Claims (5)

  1. Method for transmission of vehicle data in the form of odometer readings of a motor vehicle (1) to a memory element (7) with a counter, from which the odometer readings of the motor vehicle (1) are transmitted to the memory element at intervals and stored in the memory element, wherein the memory element of the motor vehicle can be removed, characterised in that, following transmission of the odometer readings, the counter adds up the difference between the last transmitted and the newly transmitted odometer reading and stores it in the memory element, wherein only positive differences between the last transmitted and the newly transmitted odometer reading are added up.
  2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the transmission of the vehicle data is effected by means of a transponder (8) and/or via an LF link (9).
  3. Method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the vehicle data in the memory element are only writable and/or readable following authentication.
  4. Memory element (7) for storing data of a motor vehicle (1) in the form of odometer readings, wherein the motor vehicle has means for receiving the odometer readings that are transmitted at intervals, and a counter, characterized in that the counter is a counter which, after transmission of the odometer readings, adds up the difference between the last transmitted and the newly transmitted odometer readings, and, after transmission of the odometer readings, only adds up the positive differences between the last transmitted and the newly transmitted odometer readings, wherein the memory element is configured to store the positive, added-up differences.
  5. Motor vehicle key (4) with a memory element (7) according to claim 4.
