MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617051382 A) filed by Elektrobit Automotive Gmbh on April 22, 2026, for Method And System For Executing A Safety-Critical Application.
Inventors include Armbruster, Michael; Petersohn, Jens; Lampka, Kai; Von Czettritz Und Neuhaus, Michel; and Mller, Rainer.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: A method of executing a safety-critical application (130) on a hardware platform (100) is proposed. The method includes executing, on the hardware platform (100), a hypervisor (115); instantiating, by the hypervisor (115), an execution environment (120); executing, in the execution environment (120), an operating system having a kernel (125, 125a); executing, in the execution environment (120), on the operating system, the safety-critical application (130) on a privilege level that is lower than that of the kernel (125, 125a); executing, by the safety-critical application (130), a system call instruction of the kernel (125, 125a) that diverts the control flow to a first-level handler (127) in the kernel (125, 125a) with the goal of invoking, by a particular intended system call, a functionality provided by the kernel (125, 125a); further diverting, by the processor core (112a, 112b), the control flow to a second-level handler (119) in the hypervisor (115); passing, by the second-level handler (119), the intended system call to a supervisor component (150); and checking, by the supervisor component (150), operations to be performed by the intended system call against a predetermined ruleset, so as to allow or disallow the system call.
