  • Patent number: 11008020
    Abstract: A method for controlling a warning module based on an expected time period up to a collision of a vehicle with an obstacle, including: permitting an outputting of a generated warning to a driver of the vehicle if the expected time period up to the collision is shorter than a limiting value function, which depends on a speed of the obstacle and/or a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the obstacle, and otherwise suppressing a warning to the driver; in which the warning module is configured to generate the warning of an imminent triggering of an automatic emergency braking process of the vehicle to avoid the collision. Also described is a related device and computer readable medium.

  • Patent number: 10949552
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an authentication arrangement for a communication connection, using a communication protocol, between two data processing devices of the apparatus. The data processing devices each have an interface unit for the communication connection and a computation unit. The interface units each have an encryption/decryption device, where the encryption/decryption device is at least partially produced by hardware for encrypting at least some of the user data to be transmitted via the communication connection as part of the authentication arrangement. The encryption/decryption device can be applied in a communication layer of the communication protocol to the user data prepared for the physical user data transmission or to the physically received user data. Each data processing device has a security unit, implemented as dedicated hardware that the computation unit cannot access and/or in a manner logically isolated from the computation unit.

  • Publication number: 20200351106
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for checking the data transport across a first communication connection between two data processing devices, said first communication connection being realized between two first interface units, wherein the payload to be transferred can be divided into payload blocks and there is at least one second communication connection between the data processing devices, which is established by means of second interface units, and wherein, in order to implement a challenge-response authentication, a request requiring retrieval of randomly selected data units from identifiable, randomly selected payload blocks of the payload is sent as a challenge by an authentication unit to the first interface units by means of the second communication connection, an authentication assembly of each of the first interface units extracts the requested response data from the payload and transmits the same back to the authentication unit and a successful check is determined if the response data match.

  • Patent number: 10773647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for triggering an automatic emergency braking process in a vehicle to avoid a tail-end collision with an obstacle, wherein a warning to the driver is triggered if at least one warning condition is satisfied, wherein the satisfaction of the warning condition specifies that owing to the instantaneous driving situation of the vehicle relative to the obstacle the automatic emergency braking process should be triggered, wherein the automatic emergency braking process is not triggered until after the warning to the driver is triggered and a warning time period has subsequently expired, wherein the warning time period is set as a function of the relative movement situation between the vehicle and the obstacle and/or is adapted as a function of a relative movement, which changes over time, between the vehicle and the obstacle.
