Application 10/045,789
during operation in a controller without specifying the parameter directly
through a separate bit in the code word according to the version coding
(Specification 2:1-9). The vehicle version is coded into version coding
(code word memory 10) that is algorithmically processed during
operation to determine where in the code word (application data memory
30) to read the desired control parameters (Specification 3:8-14 and
22-25).
2. The Specification teaches that control parameters of a vehicle version can
be determined directly from the code word when the control parameters
are contained directly in the code word according to version coding.
(Specification 2:11-14; Figure 2).
3. The processes of direct and indirect selection of control parameters are
disclosed in the Specification as follows:
Depending on the content of code word memory 10, data
according to the respective version is read out of
application data memory 30 in operation of the vehicle
controller. Individual values of application data memory
30 may be allocated directly to individual items of
information in version code memory 10 or they may be
allocated indirectly, i.e., individual values are assigned to
certain combinations of information of code word
memory 10. These combinations are determined by logic
links of individual bit positions of version code memory
10. The links are formed in unit 20. According to the
algorithmic processing in unit 20, selector unit 40 is then
controlled to access the respective memory locations in
application data memory 30. The value read there is sent
