Definitions
- the invention relates to the transmission of information.
- the invention relates to the transmission of structured information on a data bus of a motor vehicle.
- a data bus is provided to couple different components together.
- a first component may comprise a sensor and a second component a control unit, wherein the sensor provides the control unit with certain information.
- the sensor can summarize the information in a predetermined data structure and transmit it via the data bus to the control unit.
- the data structure comprises an ordered sequence of predetermined data fields.
- the individual data fields each have a predetermined amount and follow each other directly. If necessary, special
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a technique by means of which information between a first and a second Component in particular on board a motor vehicle improved can be replaced.
- the invention solves this object by means of a method, a computer program product and a system having the features of the independent claims. Subclaims give preferred embodiments again.
- One method of communicating information includes steps of arranging information in a data structure, communicating the data structure from a first component to a second component using a transport component, and converting the data structure into a first object that implements a predetermined abstract data type.
- the data structure contains an indication of its conversion into the first object.
- the abstract data type may include a collection of data along with the definition of all valid operations that access the data.
- An application on the part of the second component can thus work directly on an object.
- Object-oriented programming is already established in many areas, and delivering objects that contain information can support this approach.
- the object may allow access to the information only by one or more methods provided.
- an access control can also be implemented, which only allows a predetermined second component access to a pre-determined method. Misuse of information can thus be prevented.
- Ideas or content to which the information relates can thus be better protected. For example, different manufacturers can produce components on board the motor vehicle, which can communicate with one another by means of the transport component, wherein information can be exchanged specifically without allowing any access.
- the data structure comprises a description of the object.
- the description may for example be written in a known description syntax, for example by means of ASN.1 or in an XML variant.
- the data structure comprises the object in a serialized form.
- the object and its methods can be mapped in the data structure.
- an implementation of a method may also be part of the serialized object.
- the data structure is arranged to be converted into a second object having a predetermined abstract
- the second object is different from the first object.
- the second object may be an extension of the first object.
- the first component acquires additional capabilities, it may expand the data structure, with an older second component, based on the data structure, unchanged providing the first object and a newer second component based on the same data structure, a second object Object has additional methods, formats, properties or characteristics relative to the second object.
- the second object may be backward compatible with the first object.
- a version management of components in a system, in particular on board a motor vehicle can thereby be massively simplified. be facht. In particular, it is possible to renew one of the components without having to renew another.
- a computer program product comprises program code means for carrying out the method described above when the computer program product runs on a processor or is stored on a computer-readable medium.
- a system in particular on board a motor vehicle, comprises a first and a second component which are interconnected by means of a transport component.
- the first component is set up to arrange information in a data structure and to transfer the data structure to the transport component, wherein the transport component allows the transport of the data structure.
- the second component is arranged to take over the data structure from the data connection, the second component comprising a converter adapted to transform an inherited data structure into a first object that implements a predetermined abstract data type.
- the converter can be provided for example as a library function (Library). If the first transmitting component is changed so that the data structure has a different format, an associated translator may also be provided to be used in the second component. For example, a manufacturer of the first component may provide library-style translators to different manufacturers of different second components, so that the implementation of the second components is essentially limited to accessing objects. The actual transport of information or data structures can be completely transparent for the second component. Conversely, the translation of information into the data structure and back into information can be fully controlled by the first manufacturer without having to deal with the processing of information from the second component. Collaboration between components and between their manufacturers can be improved. A functional safety for the system can be increased. Test cycles can be shortened.
- the first component comprises a sensor, the second component a control unit or the transport component a data bus.
- both components each comprise a control unit.
- the first component may also comprise an actuator, which may comprise a corresponding communication and processing capability, for example as an "intelligent actuator.”
- the actuator may comprise an engine control unit, a steering control unit or a brake control unit
- the components may comprise programs that can run independently of each other and communicate with each other by means of the data structures The direction in which information is communicated between the components. is arbitrary.

- ACC Adaptive Cruise Control
- Such functionalities are also known as middleware, which is based on an existing infrastructure, which in particular includes hardware, and can serve as part of a higher-level control mechanism, such as an autonomous control of the motor vehicle.
- Both controllers 1 10, 1 15 can access information from the sensor 105, wherein different information needs may be present.
- Each of the components 105-115 includes a functional component 135 and a translator 140.
- the functional component 135 typically implements only the functionality required to process information without worrying about transporting information.
- the converters 140 serve to enable the transmission of information about the transport component 120.
- a method 150 it is proposed in a method 150 to arrange information 155 in a step 160 in a data structure 165, to transmit it in a step 170 by means of the transport component 120 and to convert it into a first object 180 or a second object 185 in a step 175.
- the second object 185 is an extension of the first object 180.
- Both objects 180, 185 comprise a number of predetermined properties or methods 190.
- the second object 185 preferably comprises at least one additional or extended method 190.

- the third component 1 15 can also receive data structures 165 which can be converted into the first object 180 by means of the converter 140. If the first component 105 is now changed, for example by using a sampling device 125 which has improved resolution in the near range, it may be advantageous to adapt the data structure 165 in order to provide the more precise information 155 of the third component 15.
