A method is provided for assigning a time stamp to a specific data packet which, as with a group of received data packets, is received by a cyclically operating sensor. The specific data packet is especially part of the group of received data packets. The disclosed method includes: determining the time of arrival of each data packet of the group of received data packets; assigning a time stamp to each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the time difference between the determined time of arrival and the assigned time stamp for each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the smallest time difference from among the determined time differences; and assigning a time stamp to the specific data packet on the basis of the time of arrival determined for the data packet for which the smallest time difference has been determined.

Assigning time stamps to received data packets

A mobile unit as well as a method for time-stamping a first message of the first mobile unit to a second mobile unit are provided. The method includes the steps of: determining a roundtrip time between the first mobile unit and a base station, receiving the first message sent by the first mobile unit in the base station, adding a timestamp to the first message in the base station while taking into account the roundtrip time, and sending the time-stamped first message to the second mobile unit.

A method is provided for assigning a time stamp to a specific data packet which, as with a group of received data packets, is received by a cyclically operating sensor. The specific data packet especially is part of the group of received data packets. The method includes: determining the time of arrival of each data packet of the group of received data packets; assigning a time stamp to each data packet of the group of data packets based on a first reference point in time; determining the time difference between the determined time of arrival and the assigned time stamp for each data packet of the group of data packets to provide a group of time differences; determining negative time differences from among the group of time differences, for the data packets of which it has been determined that the time of arrival preceded the respective assigned time stamp; determining the negative time differences that are not to be classified as outliers; determining a second reference point in time taking into account the negative time differences that are not to be classified as outliers; and assigning a time stamp to the specific data packet based on the second reference point in time.

A method for selecting an information source from a plurality of information sources for display on a display of smart glasses is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes determining an orientation of the smart glasses with respect to a head of a wearer of the smart glasses, and selecting an information source from the plurality of information sources based at least in part on the determined orientation of the smart glasses with respect to the head of the wearer of the smart glasses.

A method for determining an information source from a plurality of information sources for display on smart glasses is disclosed In one embodiment, the method includes determining a spatial orientation of the smart glasses, determining from a plurality of criteria, which are respectively related to the spatial orientation of the smart glasses, a criterion which is fulfilled by the determined spatial orientation of the smart glasses, assigning each of the plurality of criteria an information source from the plurality of information sources, and selecting the information source assigned to the determined criterion.

A method of controlling an automatic switch-off and switch-on procedure of a drive unit in a motor vehicle via a start-stop device is provided, by which, when the motor vehicle stops, the drive unit is automatically switched off if predefined switch-off conditions have been met, and by which an automatically switched-off drive unit is automatically switched on if at least one driver-side or system-side switch-on request is made. When a system-side switch-on request takes place, the automatic switch-on procedure will be suppressed at least temporarily if a delay condition exists.

A method provides driving operation data in a network for wirelessly exchanging driving operation data. A first motor vehicle connected to the network by communication technology determines the absolute driving operation data of a second motor vehicle by way of at least one environment sensor disposed in the first motor vehicle. The absolute driving operation data of the second motor vehicle are transmitted by the first motor vehicle to at least one other subscriber to the network.
