Abstract

A method for operating a driver assistance system of a vehicle, including receiving data transmitted to the vehicle; using the received data for a decision as to whether or not the driver assistance system is to provide a driver assistance function, characterized by archiving of the data used.

Moreover, the invention relates to a driver assistance system for a vehicle, a system for operating a driver assistance system for a vehicle, and a computer program are described.

Claims

1. A method for operating a driver assistance system of a vehicle, comprising:

receiving data transmitted to the vehicle;

using the received data for a decision as to whether or not the driver assistance system is to provide a driver assistance function; and

archiving the used data.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein only those data are archived that were used in a time interval that includes an instant at which the driver assistance function was made available.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the archiving includes storing the used data in a memory device situated inside the vehicle.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein the memory device includes a volatile and a permanent memory, the data being stored in the volatile memory and copied from the volatile to the permanent memory when the driver assistance function is made available.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the archiving includes transmitting the used data to an external memory device situated externally to the vehicle.

6. A device for operating a driver assistance system of a vehicle, comprising:

a receiver to receive data transmitted to the vehicle; and

an archiver unit to archive the data that were used for a decision as to whether or not a driver assistance function is to be provided.

7. The device as recited in claim 6, wherein the archiver unit has a memory device which includes a volatile and a permanent memory.

8. The device as recited in claim 6, wherein the archiver unit has a transmitter to transmit the used data to an external memory device situated externally to the vehicle.

9. A system for a vehicle, comprising:

a driver assistance system; and

a device configured to operate the driver assistance system, the device including a receiver to receive data transmitted to the vehicle, and an archiver unit to archive the data that were used for a decision as to whether or not a driver assistance function is to be provided.

10. The system as recited in claim 9, further comprising:

an external memory device situated externally to the vehicle to store the archived data.

11. A computer readable storage medium storing a computer program for operating a driver assistance system, the program having program code which, when executed by a device, causes the device to perform the steps of:

receiving data transmitted to the vehicle;

using the received data for a decision as to whether or not the driver assistance system is to provide a driver assistance function; and

archiving the used data.
