Patent number: 9910722Abstract: A framework for generically handling callbacks is described herein. In accordance with one aspect, multiple components or data objects are registered. The registration of a component includes providing a context name and one or more callbacks. A callback of each registered component references to the component and is registered under a context. A trigger may be invoked in response to receiving an event, where a context is provided to the trigger based on the event. A set of callbacks that are registered under the context are then triggered. The triggered callbacks reference to components registered under the context.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Benedikt Feller, Markus Guenter Dobler

Publication number: 20070281753Abstract: A user interface 4 for a communication system 2 in a motor vehicle 1 which, in a restricted operating mode, restricts a functionality of a radio interface 3 for wireless connection to a radio communication network and to a communication system 2 for a motor vehicle 1 with a radio interface 3 for wireless connection to a radio communication network and for setting up a corresponding communication link, and to an associated operating method. The user interface 4 activates a waiting function 4.1 for an incoming call in the restricted operating mode, which informs the caller of the cause and/or expected duration of the operation with restricted functionality.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2004Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Guenter Dobler, Volker Entenmann, Siegfried Rothe, Cornelia Voigt, Sven Willmann

At least one signal source located in the peripheral field of vision of the user is provided, and its output signals are variable by adjusting their color, intensity, frequency, timber, and/or loudness.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Guenter Dobler, Wilhelm Kincses, Siegfried Rothe, Michael Schrauf, Sven Willmann

Publication number: 20070182529Abstract: A method for influencing the load on a driver while driving a motor vehicle, in which a workload is determined from physiological driver data detected by sensors, and to an apparatus for carrying out the method. The load or the workload on the driver is kept in an optimum workload range and brought back to this optimum range if there is any discrepancy, thus ensuring an optimum driver performance level and attention level. For this purpose, vehicle systems are driven as a function of the detected workload value in such a way that the driver is influenced via his visual, auditory or tactile sense channels in such a way that his workload value returns to a value in the optimum workload range.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2004Publication date: August 9, 2007Applicant: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Guenter Dobler, Ercan Ellitok, Volker Entenmann, Wolfgang Gottlieb, Klaus-Peter Kuhn, Michaela Ludwig, Andreas Proettel, Siegfried Rothe, Dimitra Theofanou

Patent number: 7239239Abstract: In order to make warning devices more efficient, it is known to design parameters to be variable and therewith to be adaptable depending upon the state or condition of a user of the warning information. Herein, for example, warning start points are changed or multi-stage warnings are engineered depending upon urgency. The disadvantage of such an adaptive system can however reside therein, that the mechanistic detection of the condition of the operator using various sensor systems and the subsequent output to the operator or the operator assistant system is not always acceptable, which can irritate the vehicle operator or occupants. In order to increase the acceptance by the user of the warning information it is proposed that in the lead-up to a planned change in the mode and manner of the output of the warning information, communication is initiated with at least one of the users. In the framework of this communication a user can indicate his acceptance or declining with respect to the planned change.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2002Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Günter Dobler, Markus Hess, Wilhelm Kincses, Siegfried Rothe

Patent number: 7149653Abstract: Information system in a vehicle, having a plurality of information sources for outputting respectively associated information. The information which is to be output is generated and/or filtered as a function of the state of the driver and/or of the behavior of the driver. The state of the driver and/or of the behavior of the driver is determined by of data from one or more driving systems of the vehicle and/or one or more comfort systems of the vehicle. At least one of the information sources generates the information which is to be output with a frequency which depends on the state of the driver and/or the behavior of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Edgar Bihler, Guenter Dobler, Florent Paviot, Siegried Rothe

Patent number: 7109854Abstract: The invention relates to a system for preventing collisions of an automobile with obstacles. Sensors mounted in the automobile detect the area surrounding the vehicle. The signals of said sensors are evaluated by a data processing device in order to calculate the available obstacle-free driving space. Other sensors additionally detect the position of all movable vehicle parts (e.g. a trailer) and the dynamic parameters of the current driving situation (e.g. speed, steering angle, etc.). Based on said data, the driving speed required during the following time intervals in order to continue driving is calculated in advance by the data processing device and compared with the actually available obstacle-free driving space that has been detected. Said comparison provides early forecast regarding a possible collision. The driver is warned of a possible collision danger by corresponding warning devices and can consequently react in time. In critical situations (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2002Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Guenter Dobler, Holger Enigk, Hartmut Marwitz, Siegfried Rothe

Patent number: 6923080Abstract: A monitoring apparatus having an obstacle-detecting system comprises a plurality of detecting devices fastened on the object, an evaluation unit and an optical display device. For the purpose of displaying the surrounding situation more effectively, the fields of view of two neighbouring detecting devices intersect, the individual images of these detecting devices are combined to form an overall image, and the object can be projected on the display device into the overall image and can be displayed as part of the overall image.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Günter Dobler, Holger Enigk, Siegfried Rothe, Roland Stechow

Patent number: 6265968Abstract: An object detection device for detecting objects in a rear lateral area of a vehicle includes zero-contact radiation-based scanners for scanning such area, and an evaluation unit connected to the scanners. According to the invention, the evaluation unit evaluates the time sequence of the scanning information from two or more strip-shaped portions of the area under observation, with horizontal components that are differently inclined to the lengthwise direction of the vehicle or are offset from one another in the lengthwise direction of the vehicle. The evaluation unit distinguishes objects moving in the travel direction of the vehicle from standing and oncoming objects, based on the response sequence for the portion under observation.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Peter Betzitza, Guenter Dobler, Siegfried Rothe

Patent number: 6023220Abstract: A vehicle having a scanning system for zero contact scanning of one or several mutually spaced road areas and having an analyzing system connected behind the scanning system. The analyzing unit is equipped for determining the roll-over angle, the roll-over moment, the vehicle load condition and/or the road condition via measured data detected and supplied by the scanning system. The resulting data is particularly suitable for the early determination of dangerous influences on the driving dynamics of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1998Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Guenter Dobler, Siegfried Rothe
