Geographically locating malfunction sources for motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A method for geographically localizing triggers for malfunctions in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting, using a sensor of the motor vehicle, a malfunction of the motor vehicle in response to the motor vehicle being in a parking phase;
determining, using a localization device of the motor vehicle, a geo-position (XY) of the motor vehicle based on the detecting the malfunction of the motor vehicle;
generating an error entry comprising the malfunction of the motor vehicle and the geo-position (XY) of the motor vehicle;
storing the error entry in an error memory of the motor vehicle;
reading out the error entry from the error memory of the motor vehicle by an analysis device located outside the motor vehicle;
receiving a trigger class describing a trigger of the malfunction of the motor vehicle based on the error entry;
storing the geo-position (XY) of the motor vehicle with the malfunction of the motor vehicle in a digital map associated with the trigger class; and
detecting a presence of a second trigger of the trigger class for an anticipated parking space for the motor vehicle based on the digital map.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for geographically localizing triggers for malfunctions in a motor vehicle, wherein the malfunction of the motor vehicle is detected and an error entry describing the malfunction in an error memory of the motor vehicle is generated, and a geo-position (XY) of the motor vehicle is detected and stored by a localization device of the motor vehicle pp(1). Subsequently, during an error diagnosis of the motor vehicle, the error entry from the error memory of the motor vehicle is read out by an analysis device located outside the motor vehicle and a trigger class (14) describing a trigger of the malfunction is received for the error entry. The geo-position (XY) of the motor vehicle and the malfunction are stored in a corresponding digital map for the trigger class.
