  • Method for operating a management system of function modules
    Patent number: 8249728
    Abstract: Methods for operating a management system that manages a large number of first function modules and second function modules. An inhibitor module I sets first control statuses to designating blocking when associated events are detected by an event detecting device, and then the management system no longer makes associated first function modules available for execution. The inhibitor module I sets second control statuses to designating executable when associated events are detected by an event detecting device, and then the management system makes associated second function modules available for execution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2012
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Bernd Kesch, Hans Hillner, Matthias Knirsch, Alexander Hinz

  • Method for operating an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6959243
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine such as an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: checking the operability of at least one component by a diagnostic function (D); causing the diagnostic function (D) to transmit data (CB) that the diagnostic function (D) could have found a fault to a central function (CF) in a format uniform for all diagnostic functions (D); and, causing the central function (CF) to process the data (CB).

  • Method for operating an internal combustion engine
    Publication number: 20040149024
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine including an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of: checking the operability of at least one component by a diagnostic function (D); causing the diagnostic function (D) to transmit data (CB), that the diagnostic function (D) could have found a fault, to a central function (CF) in a format uniform for all diagnostic functions (D); and, causing the central function (CF) to process the data (CB).
