Patent ID: 7543097

Claim:
A flexible wiring system for an electronic system that includes inputting devices, outputting devices, a plurality of specific control circuits for controlling the outputting devices based on signals of the inputting devices and a plurality of wire harnesses accommodating wires connecting the inputting devices, the outputting devices and the specific control circuits, said flexible wiring system comprising: a basic control circuit for controlling said specific control circuits to obtain data from said inputting devices; a communication bus connected with said basic control circuit and said specific control circuits; and an intermediate distributing unit including a plurality of first side connectors connectable with an input side of said basic control circuit and said specific control circuits via a portion of said wire harnesses, a plurality of second side connectors connectable with said inputting devices and said outputting devices via another portion of said wire harnesses and a connection changeover mechanism for connecting or disconnecting one of said second side connectors with or from one of said first side connectors; wherein said basic control circuit communicates signals with one of said specific control circuits via said communication bus to control said connection changeover mechanism so that said one of said specific control circuits can control one of said outputting devices via said intermediate distributing unit according to the data obtained from one of said inputting devices via said intermediate distributing unit.
