Appeal 2007-1344
Application 10/045,789
THE INVENTION
Appellant claims a vehicle controller and a control method with which
control parameters of a vehicle version can be determined either (1) indirectly from
algorithmic processing of a version coding during operation of the controller; or
(2) directly from specification of the parameters in the code word according to
version coding (Specification 2:1-20). Claims 1-2, reproduced below, are
representative of the subject matter on appeal.
1. A vehicle controller designed for a plurality of
different vehicle versions, comprising:
means for storing a plurality of control parameters
for the different vehicle versions;
means for storing a version coding for customizing
the vehicle controller for a predetermined vehicle
version, the version coding having a plurality of bit
positions; and
means for indirect selection of control parameters
from the means for storing control parameters by
algorithmic processing of values of a plurality of bit
positions of the version coding.
2. The vehicle controller according to claim 1, further
comprising
means for direct selection of control parameters
from the means for storing control parameters as a
function of values of individual bit positions of the
version coding.
