Abstract

Provided is an application module data control apparatus and a data control method thereof, and more particularly, to an application module data control apparatus and a data control method thereof which relay sharing of data to be shared among one or more application modules that perform functions of a battery management system (BMS) in the middle to remove data dependency of one or more respective application modules.

Claims

1. An application module data control apparatus, comprising:

a data transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive one or more data from one or more application modules;

a data storing unit configured to store one or more received data; and

a data managing unit configured to select the data required for executing respective functions of one or more application modules among the stored data and transfer the selected data to the data transmitting/receiving unit so as to be transmitted to one or more application modules.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the data transmitting/receiving unit further includes a share-interface configured to connect the data storing unit with one or more application modules and relay data transmission/reception among one or more application modules.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the data storing unit is configured so that the stored respective data are independently defined.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the data includes result data generated by executing a function of a first application module among one or more application modules.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the data managing unit controls the data transmitting/receiving unit so as to transmit the stored result data to a second application module through a management function when the transmission of the result data is requested from the second application module.

6. An application module data control method, comprising:

(a) receiving one or more data from one or more application modules by a data transmitting/receiving unit;

(b) storing the received data by a data storing unit;

(c) selecting and managing the data required for executing respective functions of one or more application modules among the stored data by a data managing unit; and

(d) transmitting the selected and managed data to one or more application modules by the data transmitting/receiving unit.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the step (a) further includes:

(a1) connecting the data storing unit with one or more application modules through a share-interface; and

(a2) relaying data sharing between one or more application modules and the data storing unit.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the step (b) further includes:

(b1) independently defining the stored data, respectively.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

(e) receiving result data generated by executing the function of a first application module among one or more application modules.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (c) further includes (c1) controlling the data transmitting/receiving unit so as to transmit the stored result data to a second application module through a management function when the transmission of the result data is requested from the second application module.
