METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATIC UPDATING OF SOFTWARE

摘要

A method for the automatic updating of software is disclosed, which serves to update the software running on a system with new software modules, whereby said software modules are first tested and then application modules are derived from said software modules. The actual new functions are carried out by means of the application modules. The software modules can be advantageously received by means of a radio interface. Said method is particularly suitable for the application of software in a motor vehicle. The derivation of the application modules from the software module is usually carried out by the principle of inheritance. The software module is tested by an addressing with test parameters.
