  • Patent number: 10382224
    Abstract: A control device and corresponding motor vehicle for connecting a CAN bus to a radio network, having the following features: the control device includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a first CAN transceiver and a second CAN transceiver; the microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the CAN transceivers; the first CAN transceiver is connected to the second CAN transceiver; the first CAN transceiver is configured in such a manner that it suppresses transmission via the CAN bus and supports reception via the CAN bus in a normal mode and supports transmission and reception in a diagnostic mode; and the second CAN transceiver is configured in such a manner that it changes the first CAN transceiver from the normal mode to the diagnostic mode when the second CAN transceiver receives a wake-up frame via the CAN bus.

  • Patent number: 10038570
    Abstract: A control device and corresponding motor vehicle for connecting a CAN bus to a radio network, having the following features: the control device includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a programmable logic module and a CAN transceiver; the microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the logic module; the CAN transceiver is connected, on the one hand, to the logic module and, on the other hand, to the CAN bus; a data stream to the microcontroller corresponds to a data stream from the CAN transceiver; and the logic module is configured in such a manner that it monitors a data stream from the microcontroller which is addressed to the CAN transceiver and, on the basis of a data frame contained in the data stream from the microcontroller, suppresses at least this data frame.

  • Patent number: 10009289
    Abstract: A control device, which connects a controller area network (CAN) bus to a radio network, includes a wireless controller, a microcontroller, a CAN controller and a CAN transceiver. The CAN controller has a first channel and a second channel for transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) frames. The microcontroller is connected, on the one hand, to the wireless controller and, on the other hand, to the first channel of the CAN controller. The CAN transceiver is connected, on the one hand, to the second channel of the CAN controller and, on the other hand, to the CAN bus. The CAN controller configured in such a manner that it transmits or blocks a frame received on the first channel on the basis of an identifier of the frame on the second channel. Also described is a motor vehicle having such a control device.

  • Publication number: 20140379780
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining a support package status associated with a software component executing on a computing system include receiving a transport request that comprises metadata associated with a software component, and a support package start point that defines an updated support package status of the software component for receiving an updated support package for the software component; in response to receiving the transport request, creating a correction transport that comprises the support package start point and metadata associated with the updated support package; distributing the correction transport to a computing system; in response to distributing the correction transport, identifying a current support package status of the software component; comparing the current support package status of the software component with the updated support package status of the support package start point; and based on the comparison, updating the support package status of the software component.
