1. A method for safe visualization of safety-relevant information, the method comprising the steps of:
- for all possible states of at least one variable input parameter, decomposing a safe visualization of the at least one variable input parameter into its safe base elements;
for each of the safe base elements, enumerating and storing a set of all possible states of safe base element visualization;
for each of the safe base elements, transmitting the set of all possible states of safe base element visualization to a target system that provides safe visualization at runtime;
for each of the at least one variable input parameter inputting an actual state of the at least one variable input parameter into the target system and, for each of the at least one variable input parameter, determining a corresponding safe base element visualization corresponding to the actual state of the at least one variable input parameter and its correct state from the set of all possible states of safe base element visualization; and
successively rendering and overlaying each of the corresponding safe base element visualizations on top of each other on a displaying means of the target system, thereby generating a safe visualization of the actual state of the at least one variable input parameter;
whereby a safe visualization problem is approached as an additive representation that reduces states of visualization as compared to a multiplicative representation, thereby also reducing memory storage requirements and computing time to perform the safe visualization as compared to the multiplicative representation.

Abstract
A method for the safe visualization of a safety-relevant information includes the steps of:
- for all possible states of at least one variable input parameter, decomposing a safe visualization of the at least one variable input parameter into its safe base elements (31);
- for each of the decomposed safe base elements, enumerating and storing a set of all possible states of safe base element visualization (32); and
- for each of the decomposed safe base elements, transmitting the set of all possible states of safe base element visualization to a target system that provides safe visualization at runtime (33).

14. A system for safe visualization of safety-relevant information comprising:
-
a first means, which comprises a decomposition means for performing for all possible states of at least one variable input parameter decomposition of a safe visualization of the at least one variable input parameter into its safe base elements, and an enumerating, transforming and storing means for performing, for each of the safe base elements, enumeration and storage of a set of all possible states of safe base element visualization; a second means, which comprises a transmitting means; and a third means for providing safe visualization at runtime, the transmitting means of the second means transmitting, for each of the safe base elements, the set of all possible states of safe base element visualization to the third means, wherein for each of the at least one variable input parameter an actual state of the at least one variable input parameter is inputted into the third means, and wherein the third means comprises a determining means for determining, for each of the at least one variable input parameter, a corresponding safe base element visualization corresponding to the actual state of the at least one variable input parameter and its correct state from the set of all possible states of safe base element visualization, and an overlaying means for successively rendering and overlaying each of the corresponding safe base element visualizations on top of each other on a displaying means of the third means, thereby generating a safe visualization of the actual state of the at least one variable input parameter; whereby the system is configured to approach a safe visualization problem as an additive representation that reduces states of visualization as compared to a multiplicative representation, thereby also reducing memory storage requirements and computing time to perform the safe visualization as compared to the multiplicative representation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
