Abstract
A method and a computer system for operating at least two interconnected control units. The control units access sensor data and each execute at least one computer program for controlling operational sequences, in particular in a vehicle. The control units exchange synchronization information with one another. In order to design and refine a computer system in a way that will enable even especially complex operational sequences, as required in a modern motor vehicle, for example, to be controlled and/or regulated simply and cost-effectively with the aid of the computer system, using conventional control units, the control units execute the same computer program time-synchronously using a settable time lag.

18. A method for operating at least two interconnected control units, the method comprising:
-
accessing with the control units accessing sensor data and executing in each case at least one computer program for controlling operational sequences, in a vehicle; and
using the control units to exchange synchronization information;
wherein the control units execute the same computer program time-synchronously using a settable time lag. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A computer system comprising:
-
at least two interconnected control units; and
a data transmission medium that connects the control units to exchange synchronization information between the control units, wherein the control units access sensor data and execute in each case at least one computer program for controlling operational sequences, in a vehicle, and wherein the control units execute the same computer program time-synchronously using a time lag that is adjustable by setting arrangement. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
