Classification: CPC F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 3:
4. A method for transmitting shift signals of an electronic shift system including a transmission control unit (TCU), the method comprising:
receiving, by the transmission control unit (TCU), the shift signals transmitted by a shift operation device, wherein the shift signals are generated and individually separated according to shifting stages by the shift operation device at a time of operation of the shift operation device which is configured so that one shift stage and one shift signal among the shift signals are matched one to one; and
performing, by the TCU, a shifting of a transmission, according to the received shift signals,
wherein, when a shift signal among the shift signals which are individually separated according to the shifting stages is received, the TCU counts a time from a point of time of transmitting the shift signal generated at the time of operating the shift operation device and stops the transmitting of the shift signal after a predetermined time period elapses,
wherein, when a shift signal is transmitted by the operation of the shift operation device when a shift condition is not satisfied, the TCU is configured for forcibly stop the transmitting of the shift signal after the predetermined time period elapses, and
wherein when the TCU receives another shift signal within the predetermined time period after the transmitting of the shift signal is stopped when the shift condition is satisfied, the TCU accepts the another shift signal and performs a control of the transmission according to the another shift signal.
