Claim: 1-4. (canceled)
Claim: 5. A method for determining an actual operating time of one of a hydraulic, electrohydraulic and electric component of a motor vehicle and of a working machine within one of a reference time and a monitoring period, in which the actual operating time is determined by means of an approximation method, wherein one of the monitoring period or the reference time is divided into one of separate intervals or time windows which correspond to a specific number k of program or control runnings, there being coordinated with each time window one value which is increased by a momentary, actual control time and then stored and then after k program runnings, which are detected by a meter n, the time window just expired moves to a second place, a new window is generated, the meter n is reset and the value of a time window lying farthest back is deleted, the operating time being calculated within the monitoring period by summing up all values of the individual time windows.
Claim: 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the values of one or more time windows is weighted by means of a weighting factor.
Claim: 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the time window lying farthest back is weighted with a factor (1−n/k).
Claim: 8. A method for determining an actual operating time of one of a hydraulic, electrohydraulic and electric component of a machine within one of a reference time and a monitoring period, the actual operating time is determined by an approximation method comprising the steps of: dividing one of the monitoring period or the reference time into one of separate intervals and time windows which correspond to a specific number k of program or control runnings; coordinating each of the separate intervals and time window with a value; increasing each value by a momentary actual control time; storing the increased value; moving the time window just expired to a second place after the specific number k has been reached, as detected by a meter n; generating a new window after the time window is moved; resetting the meter n and deleting the time window lying farthest back; calculating the operating time within the monitoring period by summing up all the values of the individual time windows.
