Abstract
A method and a filter system for filtering messages which are received, via a serial data bus of a communications network, in a communication module of a user connected to the data bus. To allow particularly simple and efficient filtering of incoming messages, even when there is a large number of filtering criteria, it is proposed that the filter system includes a list in which multiple identifier pairs are stored which define a range delimited in each case by a first identifier and a second identifier. The identifier for an incoming message is compared at least to selected identifier pairs from the list, and a query is made concerning whether the identifier for the incoming message is greater than, or greater than or equal to, the selected first identifier, and is less than, or less than or equal to, the selected second identifier. The incoming message is forwarded to the application or rejected, depending on the configuration bit specification, if the identifier for the incoming message is within the range delimited by the first identifier and the second identifier.

15. A method for filtering messages, which are received, via a serial data bus of a communication network, in a communication module of a user connected to the data bus, the method comprising:
-
using a filter system, the messages each having an identifier for identification, and the characteristics of the filter system being defined by message identifiers which are stored in at least one list of the filter system; storing multiple identifier pairs in the at least one list of the filter system which define a range delimited in each case by a first identifier and a second identifier; comparing the identifier for an incoming message to at least selected identifier pairs; making a query concerning whether the identifier for the incoming message is greater than or equal to the selected first identifier and less than or equal to the selected second identifier; and forwarding the incoming message to the application or rejected it if the identifier for the incoming message is within the range delimited by the first identifier and the second identifier. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A filter system for a communication module of a user which is connected to a serial data bus of a communication network, for filtering incoming messages received via the data bus, the messages each having an identifier for identification, comprising:
-
a filtering arrangement, including; at least one list containing identifiers for messages via which the characteristics of the filter system are defined, wherein multiple identifier pairs are stored in the at least one list of the filter system which define a range delimited in each case by a first identifier and a second identifier; and a query arrangement to compare the identifier for an incoming message at least to selected identifier pairs to determine whether the identifier for the incoming message is greater than or equal to the selected first identifier and is less than or equal to the selected second identifier; wherein the filter system arrangement causes incoming messages to be forwarded to the application or rejected if the identifier for the incoming message is within the range delimited by the first identifier and the second identifier. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
