Patent ID: 8818615

Claim:
A method for processing data, the method comprising: providing a vehicle control unit, an influencing device connectable to the vehicle control unit, and a data processing unit connectable to the influencing device, the influencing device having a first execution unit, the vehicle control unit and the influencing device being arranged in a motor vehicle or the vehicle control unit and the influencing device being arranged on a test bench or laboratory bench; running a first program in the vehicle control unit; exchanging data according to an XCP protocol and/or a CCP protocol between the data processing unit and the influencing device, wherein the data have a first priority or a second priority; providing a second execution unit in the influencing device; executing, via the second execution unit, predetermined data processing steps more rapidly than the first execution unit; checking the priority of the data exchanged via the XCP protocol or the CCP protocol; and apportioning the data with the first exccution unit or in with the first priority to the second execution unit and apportioning the data with the second priority priority to the first execution unit, wherein the apportioning the data to the first execution unit and the second execution unit is carried out via the first execution unit, the second execution unit, the data processing unit interface, the motor vehicle control unit interface, or a component of the influencing device upstream of the first execution unit and the second execution unit.
