  • Patent number: 11502725
    Abstract: An inspection control unit (210) checks a communication status of a communication network (101, 102) to which one or more nodes are connected and determines, based on the communication status, whether inspection of the communication network is possible. When it is determined that inspection of the communication network is possible, the inspection control unit outputs a basic signal, which is a pulse signal for inspecting the communication network, to the communication network. An inspecting unit (220) accepts an inspection signal, which is a basic signal with a waveform changed by flowing through the communication network, and determines, based on the waveform of the inspection signal, whether a new node connected to the communication network is present.

  • Patent number: 11196610
    Abstract: In a transfer control apparatus (100), each function unit (110) specifies a transfer time and a device ID, and makes a transfer request of device data. A first control unit (111), in response to the transfer request from a request source being any of a plurality of function units (110), transfers the device data between a first area (121) corresponding to the request source, and a second area (122) corresponding to a combination of the transfer time and the device ID specified by the request source. A second control unit (112) transfers, when a second area (122) corresponding to a transfer time being same as a time notified by a timer (113) exists, the device data between that second area (122), and a third area (123) corresponding to the same device ID as that second area (122).

  • Publication number: 20210352091
    Abstract: An execution control unit (110) confirms a transmission state of an external network (202). The execution control unit determines, as a request destination of attack judgment, either an attack judgment device (210) or an attack judgment unit (120), based on the transmission state of the external network. The execution control unit requests attack judgment to the request destination determined. Each of the attack judgment device and the attack judgment unit judges whether an attack against an in-vehicle system (100) exists, in response to a request of attack judgment.
