Integrated Safety Controller for SoC and SiP Interface Reduction

The patent introduces a safety controller as an intermediary component that mediates between the existing SoC/SiP and the safety monitoring requirements. This external controller handles safety monitoring functions, allowing the SoC/SiP to maintain reduced complexity while the system overall achieves improved safety monitoring capability through the added intermediary component.

The safety controller serves as an intermediary that specializes in safety monitoring functions, allowing the main SoC/SiP to reduce its interface overhead and consequently lower power consumption. The distributed architecture enables power-efficient operation by assigning specific safety monitoring tasks to the intermediary controller rather than requiring all interfaces to be actively managed by the main processor.

The patent employs a safety controller as an intermediary component that externalizes safety monitoring functions from the main SoC/SiP. This approach reduces the interface complexity within the primary device while maintaining comprehensive safety monitoring capability through the intermediary, thereby reducing overall system cost despite improved safety functionality.

The safety controller acts as an intermediary that bridges existing components with the increased interface requirements. This mediator handles the complexity of managing multiple control and safety monitoring interfaces, allowing existing components to maintain compatibility while effectively managing the increased complexity through the intermediary's specialized interface management capabilities.
