Abstract: An on-vehicle gateway apparatus that carries out authentication of an external apparatus at a time of connection between the external apparatus and a vehicle, and relays communications between the external apparatus and in-vehicle communication when the authentication is successful, operates due to power supply from the external apparatus at a time of connection between the external apparatus and the vehicle, and carries out authentication of the external apparatus.

Abstract: An electronic control device for a vehicle configured to be able to rewrite a program related to vehicle control by connecting an external device with the vehicle and by accessing an in-vehicle LAN includes a portable authentication terminal separated from the external device; an in-vehicle authentication system connected with the in-vehicle LAN, configured to authenticate the portable authentication terminal and to be able to transmit a authentication result to the in-vehicle LAN; a repeater configured to relay communications between the external device and the in-vehicle LAN; and a communication authorization unit connected to the in-vehicle LAN and configured to authorize the communications between the external device and the in-vehicle LAN through the repeater if receiving the authentication result of a successful authentication of the portable authentication terminal by the in-vehicle authentication system.

Abstract: To provide a data relay device which prevents a significant delay even when pieces of data are transmitted/received in protocols that are different from each other. Transmission timings at which pieces of data are transmitted/received in a network using an event trigger type communication protocol are estimated. Stay periods which occur when pieces of data are relayed and transmitted at predetermined transmission timings in a network using a time trigger type communication protocol are calculated while changing a reference time for the time trigger type communication protocol. Then, synchronization processing is performed in the network using the time trigger type communication protocol such that communication is performed using a reference time having a small stay period that has been calculated.

Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis apparatus for determining whether abnormality relating to execution of automatic activation has occurred in a timer circuit. An electronic control unit includes a microcomputer for storing a history of execution of automatic activation of a device by a soak timer circuit. The microcomputer determines that an abnormality relating to execution of automatic activation has occurred in the soak timer circuit if an elapsed time measurement and the history stored by the microcomputer do not correspond with each other when a switch is operated to activate the device.
