Definitions
- Method for making settings on at least a first actuator of a motor vehicle Method for enabling a change of settings and motor vehicle
- the invention relates to a method for making settings on at least a first actuator of a motor vehicle, a method for enabling a change of settings and a motor vehicle.
- US 2021/0133713 A1 discloses a system for managing asset rights based on distributed ledger networks - for example blockchain or DAG.
- a so-called non-fungible token is created, which represents the right to use the A non-fungible token is also known as a "non-interchangeable token" (or non-replaceable token).
- the creation of a non-interchangeable token is called "minting”.
- a blockchain can also be used to update ledgers in motor vehicles.
- the purpose of the process described in this document is to offer products to the user commercially.
- the object of the invention is to show a way how vehicle experiences can be made available to users in an authentic manner.
- the object is achieved by a method for making settings on at least one first actuator of a motor vehicle according to patent claim 1, by a method for enabling the changing of settings on at least one actuator of a motor vehicle according to patent claim 11 and by a motor vehicle with the features according to patent claim 12.
- the method according to the invention for making settings on at least one first actuator of a motor vehicle comprises specifying a first setting for the at least one first actuator, obtaining first data specifying a second setting using a first NFT, and finally using the obtained data to change the first setting to the second setting.
- NFTs non-fungible tokens
- the NFT itself comprises a file with control commands for the at least one first actuator.
- the NFT is minted, such a file is linked to further data.
- the NFT contains a data path to a file with control commands for the at least one first actuator.
- the data path can, for example, refer to the World Wide Web, where the so-called URL number clearly indicates where the file can be found.
- control commands can be stored in the motor vehicle itself and they can only be activated in the motor vehicle using the NFT.
- a central server in particular a platform that is the responsibility of the car manufacturer, for example
- acquisition activities buying, renting, etc. an NFT and the associated control commands.
- a typical format for files with control commands is the .xml format, where ".xml” stands for “Extensible Markup Language”.
- This format is generally suitable for storing almost any type of data. This data can be interpreted as a control command if it is organized in a predetermined way. The type of ordering of the data can be specified in an .xsl file ("Extensible Stylesheet Language").
- the second setting immediately replaces the first setting.
- the vehicle experience can thus include that white light predominates in the motor vehicle (according to the first setting), and that the user obtains the right to activate red lights as a second setting by means of the NFT. (The actuator then includes the group of lamps, including both the white and the red ones.)
- a sound-emitting device (loudspeaker, equalizer) can basically have a first setting, which is replaced by a second setting during the process.
- the second setting merely follows the first setting in time, so that the vehicle experience continues over a longer period of time if the user has acquired the corresponding right with the NFT, whereby the time period preferably lasts between 1 second and 1 minute.
- second data is obtained using a second NFT that specifies third settings.
- This can be purely complementary, but preferably the second data together with the first data specifies a fourth setting. If the user were to purchase only the second NFT alone, the third setting would be made instead of the first setting. However, since he has now already purchased the first NFT, the more advantageous fourth setting is available to him.
- the preferred embodiments above for the second setting apply to the third and/or fourth settings (they replace the first setting or another of the settings or follow the first/other setting in time).
- the second setting uses red light, the third setting blue light, and that the fourth setting concerns a shade of violet that is created by combining red and blue light, but this is immediate.
- the fourth setting can be green light as a combination of buying red and blue light. This is also possible in series: the first setting with the white light can be replaced by the second setting with the red light and then by the third setting with the blue light, after which, when buying the blue light, additional to the red light, the fourth setting is finally the green light.
- a first setting is also specified for at least one second actuator
- that third data is obtained using a third NFT that specifies a second setting for the at least one second actuator
- the third data is used to change the first setting of the second actuator into a second setting.
- a setting is also changed to a third actuator.
- the first NFT as the first actuators affects the lighting actuators responsible for the vehicle interior
- the second NFT as the second actuators affects the actuators responsible for noises in the vehicle interior
- the third actuator is then provided for the user to be played a signature melody and/or for a sequence of lights to be provided when he opens the vehicle door and goes into the vehicle interior.
- the method for enabling the changing of settings on at least one actuator of a motor vehicle comprises minting at least one NFT that links a file, in particular an .xml file, with control commands for the at least one actuator with further data (for example with an identifier that indicates the type of vehicle for which the control commands can be used sensibly, or an identifier for a specific (hardware) equipment feature in the motor vehicle and the like).
- the at least one NFT is entered into a blockchain. By accessing the NFT after acquiring the corresponding right, access to the file with the control commands can be gained.
- the motor vehicle comprises at least one actuator and an associated control unit, which is designed to to obtain at least one file, in particular an .xml file, with control commands for the at least one actuator from an internal memory of the motor vehicle via a data path determined by an NFT or to download it externally and to implement the control commands, wherein the control commands are implemented as required, in particular immediately and/or after the occurrence of further conditions.
- an error message and/or a request to enter user feedback is issued and/or a default setting and/or a predetermined initial state is set.
- the invention also includes the control device for the motor vehicle.
- the control device can have a data processing device or a processor device that is set up to carry out an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the processor device can have at least one microprocessor and/or at least one microcontroller and/or at least one FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and/or at least one DSP (Digital Signal Processor).
- the processor device can have program code that is set up to carry out the embodiment of the method according to the invention when executed by the processor device.
- the program code can be stored in a data memory of the processor device.
- a processor circuit of the processor device can, for example, have at least one circuit board and/or at least one SoC (System on Chip).
- the invention also includes further developments of the motor vehicle according to the invention which have features as have already been described in connection with the further developments of the method according to the invention. For this reason, the corresponding further developments of the motor vehicle according to the invention are not described again here.
- the motor vehicle according to the invention is preferably designed as a motor vehicle, in particular as a passenger car or truck, or as a passenger bus or motorcycle.
- the invention also includes a computer-readable storage medium, comprising commands which, when executed by a computer or a computer network, cause it to carry out an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the storage medium can, for example, be designed at least partially as a non-volatile data memory (e.g. as a flash memory and/or as an SSD - solid state drive) and/or at least partially as a volatile data memory (e.g. as a RAM - random access memory).
- the storage medium can also, for example, be operated as a so-called app store server on the Internet.
- the computer or computer network can provide a processor circuit with at least one microprocessor.
- the commands can be provided as binary code or assembler and/or as source code of a programming language (e.g. C).
- the invention also includes combinations of the features of the described embodiments.
- the invention therefore also includes implementations that each have a combination of the features of several of the described embodiments, provided that the embodiments have not been described as mutually exclusive.
- Figure shows schematically how settings of actuators are changed in a motor vehicle.
- the method here assumes that NFTs have already been minted, for example by the vehicle manufacturer or special design offices, whereby these NFTs convey the rights to provide certain experiences for the user of the vehicle, mainly in the vehicle interior, whereby the invention can also be implemented on other actuators that do not directly relate to the vehicle interior.
- This list 1 is transmitted to the motor vehicle 2 and received there by a component 20, which can be used as a central control unit.
- the component 20 in the motor vehicle 2 checks the wallet linked to a user account of the owner/renter/user to determine which NFTs are in the user's possession.
- the check mark behind #1 indicates that NFT 1 belongs to the user, but not NFTs 2 and 3.
- the NFTs in possession are offered for activation in the vehicle, where corresponding groups of control commands are stored and can be unlocked, so that the experience components can be activated separately or together.
- NFT 1 is initially active, so that in the example case an actuator 22 for lighting is activated.
- the user can also purchase NFT 2, as can be seen in the bottom right of the figure.
- a rule can state that this also activates NFT 3. Accordingly, in addition to actuator 22 due to NFT 1, an actuator 24 for sound due to NFT 2 and a display 26 due to NFT 3 in motor vehicle 2 are activated.
- the ownership of an experience component is regularly checked before the experience is activated, so that no experience is activated that is no longer stored as an NFT in the user's wallet.
- the user interface (control unit 20) of the vehicle informs the user in this case.
