Abstract

An electronic system [200] for a vehicle[, comprised of] includes first components for carrying out control tasks in response to operating sequences and second components that coordinate a cooperation of the components for carrying out control tasks[, the]. The first components [carrying] carry out the control tasks by using operating functions [F1-F6] and basis functions [BaF], wherein the system is constructed such that the basis functions [BaF] are combined in a basis layer [202], and a system layer [203] is [contained,] superimposed on the basis functions [BaF], which [include] includes at least two of the second components[, at]. At least one open interface [204] of the system layer [also being] is provided [with regard to] for the operating functions [F1-F6], and the system layer [203 linking] links the basis functions [BaF] to any and all operating functions [F1-F6], such that the operating functions [F1-F6] can be interconnected and/or used in a modular fashion.

Claims

1. An electronic system for a vehicle, comprised of

first components for carrying out control tasks in response to operating sequences and

second components which coordinate a cooperation of the first components for carrying out the control tasks,

the first components carrying out the control tasks through using operating functions and basis functions,

wherein the system is constructed such that the basis functions are combined in a basis layer and a system layer is superimposed on a basis layer that contains the basis functions, the system layer including at least two of the second components, at least one open interface of the system layer also being provided with regard to the operating functions, and the system layer linking the basis functions to any and all operating functions such that the operating functions can be interconnected and/or used in a modular fashion.

2. The electronic system as recited in claim 1, wherein monitoring functions with regard to the operating functions are additionally interconnected in the system layer.

3. The electronic system as recited in claim 1, containing as second components for control tasks at least those regarding the overall vehicle, vehicle motion, and drive train, wherein the system layer of the second components includes at least those with regard to the overall vehicle and the drive train and/or vehicle motion.

4. The electronic system as recited in claim 1, wherein the operating functions are interconnected in a modular fashion before and/or during a compilation and/or before and/or during the carrying out of the control tasks.

5. A system layer of an electronic system of a vehicle, which contains first components for carrying out control tasks in response to operating sequences of the vehicle and second components that coordinate a cooperation of the first components for carrying out the control tasks, the first components carrying out the control tasks by using operating functions and basis functions, wherein at least two of the second components are included in the system layer, and the system layer in addition contains at least one open interface, the system layer linking the operating functions to the basis functions via the least one open interface such that the operating functions can be linked in a modular fashion to the electronic system and/or can be. interconnected to the electronic system.

6. The system layer as recited in claim 5, wherein monitoring functions are also interconnected with regard to the operating functions.

7. The system layer as recited in claim 5, wherein the latter, of the second components, includes at least those that coordinate a cooperation of,the first components at least with respect to the overall vehicle and drive train and/or vehicle motion.
