Abstract
A method and system for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component of a network system for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. A central network device of the network system is connected via signals to the network components by a path inside the network system, the path extending at least partially across a network segment of the network system. The network segment connects via signals the network component and a first activation device associated therewith to a switch device arranged in the path and to a second activation device associated therewith in an unbranched manner. The central network device responds to the first activation device by the switch device by sending a network function control signal.

11. A method for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component of a network system for a vehicle, especially a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
transmitting by a central network device of the network system a signal to a first network component via a path inside the network system that leads at least partially across a network segment of the network system; connecting at least partially in response to the signal the first network component and its associated first activation device connected unbranched to at least one switch device arranged in a path and to an associated second activation device; and the central network device addressing the associated first activation device by the at least one switch device by sending a network function control signal whereby the at least one temporarily machine network component is activated. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A network system of a vehicle, configured to activate at least one temporarily inactive network component, comprising:
-
at least one network component having an associated first activation device; at least one switch device; a central network device connected for signal communication to the at least one network component via a path within the network system, the path leading at least partially across a network segment of the network system and the network segment connecting for signal communication the at least one network component and the associated first activation device unbranched to the at least one switch device arranged in the path and to an associated second activation device, wherein the central network device addresses the associated first activation device via the at least one switch device by sending a network function control signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A motor vehicle comprising:
-
a network system configured to activate at least one temporarily inactive network component, having; at least one network component having an associated first activation device; at least one switch device; a central network device connected for signal communication to the at least one network component via a path within the network system, the path leading at least partially across a network segment of the network system and the network segment connecting for signal communication the at least one network component and the associated first activation device unbranched to the at least one switch device arranged in the path and to an associated second activation device, wherein the central network device addresses the associated first activation device via the at least one switch device by sending a network function control signal.
