Abstract
A method for performing at least one computation process in a motor vehicle having an electric motor and an energy store associated therewith, wherein during a charging process for the energy store a communication link to at least one further motor vehicle that is in the charging process is set up, with computation devices of the connected motor vehicles being used as a distributed computer system for performing the computation process.
Claims8
A method for performing at least one computation process in a motor vehicle having an electric motor and an energy store associated with the electric motor, the method comprising:
- charging the energy store via a power supply line,
- while the energy store is being charged, establishing a communication link via the power supply line between a computing device of the motor vehicle and a computing device of at least one other motor vehicle whose energy store is also being charged,
- connecting the computing devices of the motor vehicles via the communication link to form a distributed computer system and distributing the at least one computation process among the computing devices of the motor vehicle and the at least one other motor vehicle,
- performing the at least one computation process with the distributed computer system, and
- further comprising the steps of evaluating measurement data with the computing device of the motor vehicle with a first accuracy during a trip of the motor vehicle, and subsequently post-processing the evaluated measurement data with the distributed computer system with a second accuracy that is greater than the first accuracy as part of the at least one computation process.
