Abstract

A communication module for controlling a motor vehicle, which is configured for receiving vehicle-independent commands and converting these received commands into a target trajectory of the motor vehicle, and transmitting this target trajectory to an implementation module which is configured for associating a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with this transmitted target trajectory.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A communication module to control a motor vehicle, the communication module configured to receive vehicle-independent commands and convert received commands into a target trajectory of the motor vehicle, and transmit the target trajectory to an implementation module which is configured for associating a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with this transmitted target trajectory, wherein standard commands with which standard target trajectories are associated are stored in the communication module, and the communication module is configured to associate the command with one of the stored standard commands during the conversion of the received commands into the target trajectory, and wherein at least one of:
the target trajectory is a function of the standard target trajectory which is associated with the standard command; or
the communication module is configured to also associate parameter values with the command during the conversion of the received command into the target trajectory, and the target trajectory is a function of the associated parameter values.

2. The communication module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the communication module is configured to transmit the target trajectory to the implementation module via a wireless connection.

3. The communication module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the target trajectory is a function of the standard target trajectory which is associated with the standard command.

4. The communication module as recited in claim 1 , wherein the target trajectory is a function of the associated parameter values.

5. The communication module as recited in claim 4 , wherein the target trajectory is provided at least one of: i) as a sequence of standard target trajectories, and ii) as a sequence of parameter values.

6. An implementation module to control a motor vehicle, which is configured to receive a target trajectory of the motor vehicle from a communication module, and associate a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with the received target trajectory, wherein the target trajectory includes a sequence of standard target trajectories, and in the implementation module, in each case a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle is associated with each of the standard target trajectories.

7. The implementation module as recited in claim 6 , wherein the implementation module is situated in the motor vehicle.

8. The implementation module as recited in claim 6 , including a memory module on which the target trajectory and the associated sequence of control commands are stored.

9. The implementation module as recited in claim 6 , wherein the implementation module is configured to transmit the associated sequence of control commands to a control unit of the motor vehicle.

10. A communication system which includes a communication module and an implementation module, the communication module configured to receive vehicle-independent commands and convert received commands into a target trajectory of the motor vehicle, and transmit the target trajectory to an implementation module which is configured for associating a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with this transmitted target trajectory, the implementation module configured to receive a target trajectory of the motor vehicle from the communication module, and associate a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with the received target trajectory.
