  • Method for using a control device in different data transmission systems, control device, and data transmission system for performing such a method
    Patent number: 10904341
    Abstract: A control device is usable in a plurality of different data transmission systems in vehicles, where the control device includes a database which stores a set of configuration data records and is connected to a data transmission system selected from the plurality of data transmission systems. The control device is configured to establish data transmission between the selected data transmission system and the control device by initializing a configuration data record from the set of configuration data records. The control device is also configured to check the initialized configuration data record by receiving validation data relating to the selected data transmission system and comparing said validation data with previously-determined data-transmission-system-specific validation data stored in a memory of the control device.
