Abstract
The invention relates to a device for a vehicle, for externally transferring computing power, comprising: a computing unit for processing data, and a communications unit for transmitting data to an edge node and/or for receiving data from an edge node of an edge node network which comprises a plurality of stationary edge nodes and a plurality of mobile edge nodes, said computing unit being designed to transfer computing power, with the aid of the communications unit, to at least one of the stationary edge nodes and/or the mobile edge nodes of said edge node network.
Claims20
A device for a vehicle for externally transferring computing power, comprising:
- a processor for processing data;
- and
- a communications interface for transmitting data to an edge node and/or for receiving data from an edge node of an edge node network which comprises a plurality of stationary edge nodes and a plurality of mobile edge nodes;
- wherein the processor is configured to externally transfer computing power with the aid of the communications interface to at least one of the stationary edge nodes and/or the mobile edge nodes of the edge node network.
The device of claimi 2, wherein the map comprises at least one of the following current or forecast information on the mobile edge nodes of the edge node network:
- probable route,
- probable speed.
The device of claiim 1, wherein an identification circuit is provided to log on and/or identify the device as a mobile edge node with the edge node network,
- and/or in that the identification circuit is configured in the form of an ID transponder, a GPS a transmitter, or a SIM card.
The method of claim17, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- evaluating a map that includes at least current or forecast information on the at least one stationary edge node and on the at least one mobile edge node of the edge node network;
- determining at least one zone with reduced computing capacity,
- providing at least one mobile edge node in the determined zone with the reduced computing capacity.
