Data processing system and method for processing training data relating to the training of motor vehicle drivers
First Claim
1. A system for performing a driver training for drivers of motor vehicles, comprising:
- a central computer provided in a data center and having a first network data interface;
an administration computer provided in an administration area and having a second network data interface,wherein the central computer and the administration computer are configured to communicate with each other via the first and second network data interfaces, andwherein, in the administration computer, participant data corresponding to participants of the driver training is recorded and coupled with participant identification data in a participant identification system, wherein the participant data and coupled participant identification data are transferable to the central computer,wherein a device located in a motor vehicle is configured to be used for at least one of automatically identifying a driver of the motor vehicle as a participant of the driver training using the participant identification data associated with the participant, and selecting the participant from a list containing at least a portion of the participant data;
a network access point provided in a training area in which the motor vehicle is driven by the participant, said network access point having a third network data interface via which a wireless data transfer of at least some of the participant data can be carried out between the central computer and the network access point, wherein the network access point is further configured with a data transfer interface via which at least the portion of the participant data transferred from the central computer can be further transferred into a computer located in the motor vehicle;
a computer located in the motor vehicle connected to an on-board network of the motor vehicle and configured to communicate via the on-board network with a plurality of control devices of the motor vehicle; and
an instructor computer configured to be connected to the computer located in the motor vehicle, via the network access point,wherein an application computer program executing on the instructor computer is configured to act upon at least one of the plurality of control devices, during the driver training and via the computer located in the motor vehicle and the on-board network of the motor vehicle, by causing or preventing at least one of an actuation of an accelerator of the motor vehicle, an actuation of a brake of the motor vehicle, switching on a drive stability facility of the motor vehicle, and switching off the drive stability facility of the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A data processing system for processing driver training data includes a central computer, which is located in a data center, and an administration computer which is arranged in an administration area. The central computer and the administration computer can communicate with each other over data interfaces, and data on the participants in the driver training can be recorded in the administration compute. Recorded participant data can be coupled to participant identification data in a participant identification system, and the participant data coupled to the participant identification data can be transmitted to the central computer. The system may also include an identification means for automatically identifying or selecting a participant, and a network access point located in a training area in which a motor vehicle is located, wherein the network access point can transmit participant data between the central computer and the network access point, wherein participant data can also be transmitted by the central computer to a computer located in the motor vehicle.
