Abstract
A method for configuring an electronic transmission control unit of an automatic transmission in a motor vehicle. Selectable shift programs are offered to a user of the motor vehicle at an input unit for configuring the electronic transmission control unit. From the shift programs offered, the user selects individual shift programs by activation/deactivation and optionally alters shift-program parameters as desired. Based on the shift programs selected in a user-individual manner from the shift programs offered, the electronic transmission control unit is configured in a user-individual manner by signal transmission or via voice input.
Claims22
A method for configuring an electronic transmission control unit of an automatic transmission having one or more selectable transmission ratios in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- storing shift programs for settings of the transmission ratios of the transmission within an electronic transmission control unit;
- offering selectable shift programs to a user in a form of a selection menu on a display of an input unit for configuring an electronic transmission control unit;
- selecting by the user an individually compiled selection of at least two shift programs from the shift programs offered via at least one of:
- activation of the offered shift programs, deactivation of the offered shift programs, and modification of at least one operating parameter of the offered shift programs, the selection being recorded by the input unit;
- transmitting data concerning the individually compiled selection of the selectable shift programs from the input unit to the electronic transmission control;
- and
- configuring the shift programs stored in the electronic transmission control unit according to the individually compiled selection of the selectable shift programs.
A device for configuring an electronic transmission control unit of an automatic transmission having one or more selectable transmission ratios in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a storage device storing shift programs;
- and
- an interface able to be addressed via a mobile telephone or a personal digital assistant, for configuring the shift programs according to an individually compiled selection of at least two shift programs, at least one of the shift programs being able to be activated in a user-individual manner, the shift programs being able to be deactivated in a user-individual manner, and shift-program parameters being alterable in a user-individual manner.
A device for configuring an electronic transmission control unit of an automatic transmission having one or more selectable transmission ratios in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a storage device storing selectable shift programming;
- and
- an electronic control unit of a driver information system permanently installed in the vehicle, having a selection menu using which a user selects an individually compiled selection of at least two shift programs from the individually selectable shift programs by at least one of:
- activating the shift programs in a user-individual manner, deactivating the shift programs in a user-individual manner, and modifying shift-programs parameters in a user-individual manner.
