Abstract

The invention relates to a control and/or data transmission system (10, 10') which enables complex and extensive calculations to be performed not, or not only, by a control device (50) but by at least one external data-processing device (40) that is directly connected to the control device (50). The external data-processing device (40) performs the outsourced calculations by executing a software module based on a learned artificial neural network. The results are then transmitted directly without detours to the control device (50). The external data-processing device (40) is connected to the control device (50) via a direct connection (160), i.e. a point-to-point connection. The AI-based software module preferably processes audio and/or video signals as input signals which are transmitted from an external input device (150) to the control device (50) and from there to the external data-processing device (40).
