Abstract

The prioritization method according to the present invention permits the selection of information providers independently of the selection and functioning manner of the requesting systems, for flexibilization. In a linear prioritization method according to the present invention, a list sorted by rising priority having information providers is sequentially polled, and the first information provider having a request command is selected, this request command is routed on, and the polling is ended. In an additional prioritization method according to the present invention, from a list that is not sorted, having information providers, the information provider having the maximum (minimum) request command is selected or the average request command of the requesters is ascertained. Preferably, the prioritization method according to the present invention is able to be executed using a computer system having a modular system construction.

Claims

1. A prioritization method of information providers, e.g. plug-ins, especially for the coordinated powertrain control for a motor vehicle, wherein

a list having requests or plug-ins is sorted according to the degree of the rising or falling priority,

the sorted list is processed sequentially, beginning with the requester or plug-in having the highest priority,

the processing of the list is broken off as soon as a requester or a plug-in includes a request command, in order to select this request command.
