Information transmission and reception system for a vehicle
First Claim
1. An information transmission and reception system, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of information elements including information generating elements and information using elements grouped into information sources and information receivers, respectively;
(b) a plurality of information transmission units, each connected to a corresponding one of the information sources, each of said information transmission units including parallel-to-serial converting means for converting information in a parallel form from a corresponding information source into an electrical signal in a serial form;
(c) a plurality of information reception units, each connected to a corresponding one of the information receivers, each information reception unit including serial-to-parallel converting means for converting an electrical signal in serial form from a corresponding information transmission unit into information in a parallel form, a maximum number of information elements in an information source and in an information receiver limited to a bit-capacity of each of said parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel converting means; and
(d) means for connecting each of the information transmission units to a corresponding one of the information reception units, said connecting means including a plurality of electrical lines extended between respective ones of the information transmission units and the corresponding one of the information reception units for transmitting the information in a serial form from the information transmission unit to the corresponding information reception unit.

3. An information transmission and reception system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of vehicle component information elements on related vehicle components including information generating elements and information using elements grouped into information sources and information receivers, respectively, a predetermined maximum number of information elements being grouped into each of said information sources and each of said information receivers; (b) a plurality of information transmission units, each connected to a corresponding one of the information sources; (c) a plurality of information reception units, each connected to a corresponding one of the information receivers; and (d) means for connecting each of the information transmission units to a corresponding one of the information reception units, wherein each of the information transmission and reception units includes a shift register for converting the information in a bit parallel form from the corresponding information source into an electrical signal in a bit serial form to transmit the information from the information source when installed in each information transmission unit and for converting the information in the bit serial form from the corresponding transmission unit into the information in the bit parallel form to send it to the corresponding information receiver when installed in each information reception unit, so that the maximum number of information elements per group is equal to a bit capacity of said register. - View Dependent Claims (4)
