Method and device for processing data associated with messages transmittable via a bus system

A device for processing data associated with messages transmittable via a bus system, the device configured to:

• provide multiple filter groups, each filter group of the multiple filter groups including a plurality of filter rules;
• and
• filter at least one message using at least two different filter groups of the multiple filter groups, wherein:
• the first filter group includes more than two filter rules,
• the at least one message is filtered by a first filter rule of the first filter group,
• the first filter rule of the first filter group passes the at least one message to a second filter rule of the first filter group,
• the second filter rule of the first filter group bypasses a remainder of the more than two filter rules of the first filter group and bypasses all filter rules of a second filter group by specifying
• a third filter group of the multiple filter groups as a jump target to which the filtering of the at least one message proceeds by skipping the second filter group in order to apply the filtering of the third filter group to the message.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which are stored for processing data associated with messages transmittable via a bus system, the commands, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:

• providing multiple filter groups, each filter group of the multiple filter groups including a plurality of filter rules;
• and
• filtering at least one message using at least two different filter groups of the multiple filter groups, wherein:
• the first filter group includes more than two filter rules,
• the at least one message is filtered by a first filter rule of the first filter group,
• the first filter rule of the first filter group passes the at least one message to a second filter rule of the first filter group,
• the second filter rule of the first filter group bypasses a remainder of the more than two filter rules of the first filter group and bypasses all filter rules of a second filter group by specifying
• a third filter group of the multiple filter groups as a jump target to which the filtering of the at least one message proceeds by skipping the second filter group in order to apply the filtering of the third filter group to the message.

A bus user for a bus system, the bus being configured for processing data associated with messages transmittable via a bus system, the bus user configured to:

• provide multiple filter groups, each filter group of the multiple filter groups including a plurality of filter rules;
• and
• filter at least one message using at least two different filter groups of the multiple filter groups, wherein:
• the first filter group includes more than two filter rules,
• the at least one message is filtered by a first filter rule of the first filter group,
• the first filter rule of the first filter group passes the at least one message to a second filter rule of the first filter group,
• the second filter rule of the first filter group bypasses a remainder of the more than two filter rules of the first filter group and bypasses all filter rules of a second filter group by specifying
• a third filter group of the multiple filter groups as a jump target to which the filtering of the at least one message proceeds by skipping the second filter group in order to apply the filtering of the third filter group to the message.
