  • Patent number: 8203442
    Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided having a wireless interface to a mobile terminal, a storage unit in which information about vehicle functions is stored, and a control unit, which is set up such that information about terminal functions is transmitted from the terminal to the control unit via the wireless interface. The information about vehicle functions is compared to the information about terminal functions, and information about corresponding vehicle functions and terminal functions is stored in the storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20040240397
    Abstract: Network management plans and runs optimized telecommunication and data networks and, more particularly, administers connection objects between adjacent network elements. Among a plurality of network elements there is determined a second network element adjacent to a first based on an operator input. The data associated with the first network element is then automatically transposed for the second network element such that the representation of a connection object between the first and second network elements is made commensurate to the representation for the first network element. An advantage thereof is that the connection object is managed for the network elements without the risk of wrong or inconsistent input which would prevent implausible data such as routing data to be entered.
