Patent ID: 8566633

Claim:
A method of dynamically allocating one of a task and data/signal information on a statically embedded architecture of a vehicle, the method comprising: analyzing a system operation to identify a faulty component; identifying one of a task performed by the identified faulty component and data/signal information associated with the faulty component; re-allocating the one of the task performed by the faulty component and the data/signal information associated with the faulty component to a statically allocated and embedded standby component so that performance of the re-allocated task for future system operations is performed by the standby component; determining if the standby component and the faulty component are co-associated with a common electrical control unit, or if the standby component and the faulty component are not co-associated with the common electrical control unit; re-configuring an internal signal routing table of the common electrical control unit when the standby component and the faulty component are co-associated with the common electrical control unit; and re-configuring a network signal routing table when the standby component and the faulty component are not co-associated with the common electrical control unit.
