Method and device for controlling operating sequences in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an operating sequence in a vehicle in accordance with at least one control unit including at least one non-volatile memory element, comprising the steps of:
- performing a control as a function of at least one of a respective vehicle version and a control unit version;
generating at least one of a plurality of data records and a plurality of program codes during a version selection operation;
selecting at least one of a predefinable data record and a program code from at least one of a corresponding one of the plurality of data records and a corresponding one of the plurality of program codes;
selecting respective functions during a function selection operation by defining an identifier according to the at least one of the respective vehicle version and the control unit version, wherein the at least one of the predefinable data record and the program code is stored in the at least one non-volatile memory element and corresponds to the selected functions;
determining the at least one of the predefinable data record and the program code in accordance with configuration parameters included in the identifier; and
selecting the respective functions and the at least one of the respective vehicle version and the control unit version in accordance with the configuration parameters in the identifier.

Abstract
A method and a device for controlling operating sequences in a vehicle using at least one control unit having at least one non-volatile memory element, control being performed as a function of the respective vehicle version and/or control unit version, and the respective functions are selected during function selection by defining an identifier according to the version used, at least one predefinable data record and/or program code in the memory element corresponding to the selected functions, and the data record and/or program code being selected from a plurality of data records and/or program codes. The plurality of data records and/or program codes is generated during a version selection, the identifier containing configuration parameters, and the configuration parameters being used for determining the data record and/or the program code, the respective identifier, i.e. the configuration parameters being used for the selection of the version and the selection of the function.
