Abstract:
A method is disclosed for adjusting a configuration data set in a control device of a motor vehicle. The configuration data set is to be installed reliably in the control device. According to the disclosure, an energy requirement of all vehicle components required for the adjustment of the configuration data set is predicted, a currently available remaining energy of an energy storage device of the motor vehicle is determined, and during a parked phase of the motor vehicle, when the drive motor is switched off, a trigger signal for adjusting the configuration data set is transmitted to the vehicle components if the currently remaining energy is greater than the predicted energy requirement. A control apparatus for carrying out the method and a motor vehicle having the control apparatus are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 15):
A motor vehicle, having a control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus comprises a data input for receiving state data of an energy storage device and a control output for controlling a plurality of vehicle components of the motor vehicle, wherein the control apparatus is configured to:\n predict an energy requirement of each of the plurality of vehicle components in the motor vehicle required for an adjustment of the configuration data set, wherein to predict the energy requirement, the control apparatus is further configured to:\n determine a length of time required for the adjustment of the configuration data set in a control device; \n determine an amount of energy that is required for the length of time by each of the plurality of vehicle components during operation to fulfill the energy requirement; \n determine, by the amount of energy, a predicted energy requirement of each of the plurality of vehicle components required for the adjustment of the configuration data set; \n receive a second configuration data set for a second control device; receive dependency data relating to the configuration data set and the second configuration data set; determine a currently-available remaining energy of an energy storage device of the motor vehicle; and transmit to the control device a trigger signal for the adjustment of the configuration data set, if during a parked phase when a drive motor of the motor vehicle is switched off, the currently-available remaining energy is greater than the predicted energy requirement, and the configuration data set is independent of the second configuration data set according to the dependency data, wherein to transmit the trigger signal, the control apparatus is further configured to:\n determine, by a monitoring device, at least one usage pattern of a use of the motor vehicle by a driver, wherein to determine the at least one usage pattern, the control apparatus is further configured to:\n determine behavioral data of the driver from the motor vehicle or from an off-vehicle data source; and \n combine, by machine learning, recurring values of the behavioral data to form the at least one usage pattern, wherein the behavioral data of the driver include at least one of the following: an identity of the driver, usage data concerning at least one telephone or infotainment system used by the driver in the motor vehicle, the driver's schedule data, and driving habits of the driver presented in a social network on the Internet; \n \n determine, by the monitoring device, an anticipated parking duration at a beginning of the parked phase based on the at least one usage pattern; and \n generate the trigger signal if the anticipated parking duration exceeds at least the length of time.
