Abstract: When a subscriber record is moved from a first HLR to a second HLR that utilizes a different protocol, the wireless communication system sends two queries for location information for the mobile station, one to the first HLR and one to the second HLR, simultaneously. Two responses are received, one from each of the HLRs. The valid response is recorded in a separate table for future use. The invalid response is discarded. The next time a call comes in for the mobile station, the table is traversed to determine if the HLR has been updated for the mobile station. If so, the location request is sent only to the system in the table. If the table does not include information for the called mobile station, simultaneous queries are sent to the first and second HLRs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de commande permettant de commander un système de transmission automatisé d'un véhicule ayant un moteur thermique et une transmission multivitesse. Le système de commande comporte un allumage ayant une sortie qui émet un signal d'allumage et une première unité de commande qui fait fonctionner le moteur en réponse à la réception du signal d'allumage. Une seconde unité de commande reçoit des signaux d'entrée de différents capteurs du système et traite ces signaux en fonction de règles logiques pour émettre un signal de sortie d'ordre. Un relais interrompt la transmission du signal d'allumage vers la première unité de commande en réponse à l'absence ou à la réception du signal de sortie d'ordre. Le procédé consiste notamment à déterminer si le système de transmission automatisé fonctionne de manière anormale et à interrompre la transmission du signal d'allumage à la première unité de commande s'il est établi que le système de transmission fonctionne de manière anormale.
