Abstract: A method for outputting recommendations for energy efficient operation of a vehicle having at least two modes of operation, from which an operating mode is respectively selected by a drive controller, depending on the occurrence of specified triggers, for operating the vehicle. A change of operating mode caused by the trigger is determined. A frequency of the change of operating mode is incremented at every determination of the change of operating mode caused by the trigger. The frequency is analyzed by comparing the frequency of the change of operating mode a predetermined value. A message is generated on a case-by-case basis. The message is output via at least one output comprised by the vehicle.

Abstract: A Method for protecting an application program executable on a computer against reverse engineering, said application is created to run with at least one selected dynamic link library (DLL) on said computer, comprises the steps of: adding a specific library loader to the executable application program, said loader either contains or has access to said dynamic link library; setting modified references to said dynamic link library such that upon loading said application program and said loader into the main memory of said computer, said dynamic link library is initialized by said library loader instead of the operating system; The library loader and the pseudo-statically linked library could be embedded into the application program, thereby using unused space within the application. The protected application presents itself as a monolithic application without the vulnerable interface to a DLL.
