Vehicle module provision of software to base module in an inductive vehicle charging system, and method for operating the vehicle module

A vehicle car pad module (CPM) of an inductive vehicle charging system for charging an on-board energy store of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle charging system comprises the vehicle CPM and at least one base ground pad module (GPM), the at least one base GPM arranged in a stationary manner, wherein:

• the vehicle CPM is installed in the vehicle and integrally includes:
• a state monitoring device,
• a secondary coil,
• a software managing device, and
• a CPM communication device;
• the state monitoring device and the CPM communication device are each connected to the software managing device;
• the secondary coil is configured to receive energy that is inductively transmitted from the at least one base GPM;
• the state monitoring device is configured to ascertain a state Z(t) as a combination of a state of the vehicle in which the vehicle CPM is installed and a state of the vehicle CPM, the state monitoring device further configured to transmit information IO to the software managing device in an event that a specifiable state ZStart is detected, wherein Z(t)=ZStart;
• the software managing device is configured to transmit software SWCPM, the software SWCPM stored on the software managing device and intended for operating the base GPM, to the base GPM via the CPM communication device after obtaining the information IO, wherein the software managing device includes an assignment table stored thereon specifying an assignment of the software SWCPM to at least one identifier IDGPM* of a respective base GPM(IDGPM*);
• and
• the CPM communication device is configured to query an identifier IDGPM of the base GPM, wherein the software managing device is configured to transmit the software SWCPM to the base GPM only if the identifier IDGPM as queried is identical to an identifier IDGPM* specified in the assignment table.
