Patent ID: 8825329

Claim:
An operating method for a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising electro-mechanical actuators comprising an automated brake release function, the method comprising: operating the brake system of the motor vehicle based on an initial software configuration permanently stored in read-only memory when the vehicle is produced, automatically configuring the motor vehicle brake system by temporarily storing a subsequent software configuration in read-write memory during operation of the motor vehicle, by an electronic unit (EPB-ESC-EPB-ESC-ECU), in an automated manner, based on at least one signal from at least one of an inclination sensor, a wheel rotation sensor, and a coupling sensor connected to the electronic unit (EPB-ESC-EPB-ESC-ECU), and based on stored parameters, such that brake is operated based on the subsequent software configuration after the automatic configuration, transmitting at least one electronic release command to the electro-mechanical actuators in order to release the brake, wherein the electronic unit (EPB-ESC-ECU) is networked to other electronic units, sensors and data-bus systems, in order to exchange the signals and data, and wherein the routine for providing software, configuring the motor vehicle brake system is embodied in a multi-level manner.
