Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer program product for handling communication link problems between a first communication means and a second communication means. Data signals, control signals and/or error information are transferred between the first communication means and the second communication means using the communication link. The method includes activating a static identification pattern in the first communication means representing an error information, and stopping a clock signal (Clk) inside the first communication means to freeze a present error condition, in response to a communication link problem being detected, and transferring the activated static identification pattern permanently and/or repeatedly to the second communication means using the communication link.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A computer program product stored on non transitory computer readable media, the computer program product comprising computer-readable program means for causing a computer to perform a method for handling communication link problems between a first communication means and a second communication means when the program is run on the computer, the method comprising: activating a static identification pattern representing an error information in the first communication me…
