  • Patent number: 10782912
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a computer program for managing a storage region of a controller of a transportation vehicle. One or more user-specific datasets are stored in the storage region. The method includes monitoring an available storage capacity of the storage region, obtaining a new user-specific dataset, transferring data from the storage region of the controller to an external storage unit in response to the available storage capacity not being sufficient for storing the new user-specific dataset in the storage region, and storing the new user-specific dataset in the storage region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020

  • Publication number: 20120063364
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for network discovery in a wireless communication network comprising communication devices sending announcement signals regularly with a period being equal to or exceeding a predefined minimum announcement interval, wherein a first communication device a) communicates with a second communication device during a data exchange phase on a first channel; b) freezes the communication with the second device by signalling a freezing message terminating the data exchange phase; c) scans for the announcement signal of third communication devices on a second channel in a scan phase, wherein the scan phase duration is shorter than the minimum announcement interval; d) unfreezes the communication with the second communication device by signalling an unfreezing message; and e) repeats steps a) through d).
