Abstract: A method is provided for determining a route for a route guidance, in which a first route is determined on the assumption of a first traffic situation, a second route is determined on the assumption of a second traffic situation, the second route being compared to the first route, and a route change difference being determined from the comparison, where the two routes are offered to a user for the selection for an additional route guidance only if the route change difference exceeds a first threshold value. A device for carrying out the method is also described.

Abstract: Method for encoding messages which are to be transmitted, method for decoding messages, and receiver for receiving and evaluating messages, in particular traffic messages, wherein the messages include message contents, and wherein a message contains at least one reference to an additional supplementary message which is to be transmitted separately and contains supplementary message contents.

Abstract: A method for determining a route from a starting point to a destination includes optimizing the route with regard to a mixture of two criteria to minimize the energy consumption, a first criterion being the length of the route, and a second criterion represents a number of acceleration operations along the route.

Abstract: A method for starting up an application in a mobile data processing device, for the operation of which an information database is required in the device. The inventive method includes the following steps: a) provision of a permanent portion and a temporary portion of the information database; b) wire-bound transmission of the permanent portion from a central server to an intermediate server; c) transmission of the permanent portion from the intermediate server to the device via a first transmission path and storage in the device; d) transmission of the temporary portion via wireless communication, the wireless communication representing a second transmission path that is distinct from the first transmission path; and e) execution of the application.

Abstract: A method for navigating from a starting location to a destination location includes calculating a total route that is divided into at least two partial routes, at least one partial route being calculated locally in a mobile navigation client and at least one other partial route being calculated centrally in a stationary route server. At least one transfer point is ascertained as the end point of a first partial route and as the starting point of a second partial route as a function of the resulting total route.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a remote diagnosis in a motor vehicle is provided, including initializing the remote diagnosis, determining diagnostic data in the vehicle as a function of diagnostic mechanisms and/or diagnostic parameters available in the vehicle at the time of the diagnostic data determination, and transferring at least portions of the diagnostic data to an external service center which is designed to evaluate the transmitted diagnostic data. The diagnostic mechanisms and/or diagnostic parameters may be at least in part transferred from the service center to the vehicle upon execution of initialization.

Abstract: The method described is used for recording operating data of a technical device. According to the method, a command sequence is initially generated, which is transmitted to a monitoring unit in the technical device. The command sequence is processed in a processing unit in the monitoring unit. In addition, a device for recording operating data and a computer program for implementing the method according to the present invention are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for updating route data stored in a vehicle navigation device, particularly an offboard vehicle navigation device, the route data being updated in response to the occurrence of at least one predetermined event.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a remote diagnosis in a motor vehicle, having the following steps:
