Abstract

A method for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, including at least one sensor, in particular, a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, and/or a GNSS sensor, in particular, for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, and/or a vehicle sensor, in particular, for engine control, for activating occupant protection means, for activating assistance functions and/or convenience functions, in particular, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, a pressure sensor, and at least one memory, in particular, a ring memory, including detecting data of the at least one sensor; saving the data in the memory, in particular, in the ring memory; detecting an event; initially storing the content of the memory, in particular, of the ring memory, at the point in time of the detected event.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, the vehicle including at least one sensor, the at least one sensor including at least one of a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, a GNSS sensor for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, a vehicle sensor for engine control, a vehicle sensor for activating occupant protection devices, a vehicle sensor for activating assistance functions, a vehicle sensor for convenience functions, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, and a pressure sensor, the vehicle including a ring memory, the method comprising:
detecting data of the at least one sensor; saving the data in the ring memory; detecting an event; and initially storing the content of the ring memory at a point in time of the detected event.

2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ring memory has a cycle time, and wherein the method further comprises:
a second storing of the content of the ring memory after a cycle time subsequent to the point in time of the detected event.

3 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ring memory has a cycle time, and wherein the method further comprises:
a third storing of the data during a predefined period after the point in time of the detected event, the predefined period equaling a cycle time of the ring memory.

4 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein in the storing step, the data are stored in a cloud memory.

5 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein an event is detected when an action carried out in an automated manner is at least one of overruled and altered by a manual intervention of a driver of the vehicle.

6 . A method for updating a scenario catalog, comprising:
receiving data of at least one vehicle as a result of to an event detected in the vehicle; ascertaining a probability of an occurrence of the detected event as a function of the received data; updating the scenario catalog using the ascertained probability and the detected event.

7 . A non-transitory machine readable memory medium on which us stored a computer program for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, the vehicle including at least one sensor, the at least one sensor including at least one of a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, a GNSS sensor for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, a vehicle sensor for engine control, a vehicle sensor for activating occupant protection devices, a vehicle sensor for activating assistance functions, a vehicle sensor for convenience functions, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, and a pressure sensor, the vehicle including a ring memory, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:
detecting data of the at least one sensor; saving the data in the ring memory; detecting an event; and initially storing the content of the ring memory at a point in time of the detected event.

8 . A device for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, the vehicle including at least one sensor, the at least one sensor including at least one of a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, a GNSS sensor for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, a vehicle sensor for engine control, a vehicle sensor for activating occupant protection devices, a vehicle sensor for activating assistance functions, a vehicle sensor for convenience functions, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, and a pressure sensor, the vehicle including a ring memory, the device configured to:
detect data of the at least one sensor; save the data in the ring memory; detect an event; and initially store the content of the ring memory at a point in time of the detected event.
