  • Patent number: 8290794
    Abstract: A single-stage or multi-stage damage coverage method and system for transport devices, including a central unit that includes a user factor and a central unit factor, the central unit storing backing amount parameters assigned to accumulable damage risks, the backing amount parameters being divisible by a split module with money amount values of a specified damage risk on the basis of the user factor and the central unit factor into backing amount parameters of the accumulable damage risks. The system includes one or more decentralized risk devices, the backing amount parameters being transmitted bidirectionally for one of the damage risks and corresponding compensation parameters between the one central unit and the one or more decentralized risk devices, and also includes an extrapolation module configured to specify one of the backing amount parameters and the compensation parameters of the specifiable damage risk for a future time interval.

  • Patent number: 7936257
    Abstract: The invention proposes an emergency intervention system and a method for automatically redressing malfunctions in means of transport (41). A sensor system (401) in an emergency intervention system (80) is used to detect occurring malfunctions and an activation apparatus (203) is used to generate dedicated activation signal data on the basis of a detected malfunction. The activation signal data are transmitted to an appropriate, automated intervention means (40) which is used to redress the malfunction. A switching module (104) in the emergency intervention system (80) enables the activation apparatus (203) if a cumulative stack memory level value for two stack memories (102/202) reaches a defined cumulative stack memory level value. The two stack memories (102/202) are preliminarily incremented on the basis of activation parameters transmitted by network units and are decremented in line with the dedicated activation signal data during the enabling.

  • Publication number: 20090307012
    Abstract: Proposed is a system (80) and method for single-stage and/or multi-stage damage coverage systems (80) for transport means devices (41), wherein by means of an extrapolation module (13) of the central unit (10), backing amount parameters and/or compensation parameters of accumulable damage risks of a specifiable future time interval are determined, wherein the central unit (10) divides backing amount parameters of accumulable damage risks by means of a specifiable user factor, wherein the central unit (10) transmits (71) the compensation parameters for the corresponding backing amount parameters of accumulable damage risks to a first damage coverage system (11), wherein money amount values based on the specifiable user factor are transmitted (74) by user modules (30) to a second damage coverage system (12), wherein the central unit (10), if damage events have occurred in the time interval, transmits first charging data with charging parameters for crediting money amount values to a risk device (40), assigned t
