Abstract:
A method for synchronizing sensor data of a sensor system with the host time base of a host system, based on the clock ratio of the sensor time base to the host time base. To ascertain the clock ratio for at least two communication events, a time stamp acquisition is performed for each event, in which a sensor time stamp and a host time stamp is recorded. The communication events for ascertaining the clock ratio relate to a specific quantity of data. The ratio is ascertained/updated repeatedly; the duration of the individual communication events for the time stamp acquisition are measured; and by comparing each measured duration to a comparison value, possible irregularities in the communication event are detected. The host time stamp of a time stamp acquisition is corrected/replaced by a calculated host time stamp based on the measured irregularities. Also described is a related device for the method.

Claim (Index 9):
A device, comprising:\n a host system having a host time basis; at least one sensor system having a separate sensor time basis and having reading devices for reading out the sensor time stamps; and at least one communication link between the at least one sensor system and the host system a synchronizing device configured to synchronize the sensor data of the at least one sensor system with the host time base of the host system, by performing the following:\n ascertaining and updating repeatedly a clock ratio of the host system to the at least one sensor system for at least two communication events, wherein, in each instance, a time stamp acquisition is performed, in which a sensor time stamp of a respective sensor time base and a host time stamp of the host time base are recorded, wherein the communication events for ascertaining the clock ratio relate to a specific quantity of data, and wherein in each instance, the duration of each of the communication events is measured for the time stamp acquisition; and \n comparing each measured duration of one of the communication events to a comparison value, to detect possible irregularities in the communication event; and \n synchronizing the sensor data based on the clock ratio of the sensor time base of the at least one sensor system to the host time base of the host system.
