Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'Service Electronic Control Unit And Method For Fault Recovery In A Heterogeneous Real Time System' Filed by Schaeffler Technologies Ag And Co. Kg.

MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517035829 A) filed by Schaeffler Technologies Ag And Co. Kg., Herzogenaurach, Germany, on April 12, for 'service electronic control unit and method for fault recovery in a heterogeneous real time system.'

Inventor(s) include Lex Johannes; and Mader Ralph.

The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The heterogeneous real time system (10) comprises a service ECU (30) and a primary ECU (20). The primary ECU (20) comprises a microcontroller (??C) and a basic software (RT BS) with a real time operating system (RT OS ) and a real time application software component (RT T) to execute a real time task. The service ECU (30) comprises a microprocessor (??P) and a second operating system (s OS) and at least one second application software components (SOA). The service ECU (30) further comprise a back up software (BU) which comprises a third real time application software component (RT T) for executing by the service ECU (30) the real time task of the primary ECU (20) in case of a fault of the primary EUC (20). When detecting that the primary ECU (20) comprises a fault the service ECU (30) executes a hypervisor program (HV) causing the hypervisor program (HV) to create a second virtual machine (PAT2) for executing the third real time application software component (RT T) and to load the back up software (BU) into the second virtual machine (PAT2) and to run the back up software (BU)."

The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 26, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/076475.
