Abstract: A relay device is arranged as a node on a communication line connected to a first ECU connected to a plurality of second ECUs. A first PHY unit switches a third ECU from a sleep mode to a normal mode when receiving a broadcasted control message addressed to the third ECU. The second ECUs also include a fourth ECU provided with a second PHY unit that switches the fourth ECU to the normal mode in a case where a control message is received. In the case where a first control message, addressed to a second ECU, is received from a first region, the relay device relays the first control message, in a case where a second control message, not addressed to a second ECU, is received from the first region, the relay device does not relay the second control message.

Abstract: An in-vehicle control device to be installed in a vehicle includes physical resources including a control unit, a storage unit, and a communication unit, and a management unit that generates a plurality of virtual machines by allocating the physical resources for each allocation time. The plurality of virtual machines include a first virtual machine that communicates with an external device provided outside the in-vehicle control device and executes processing that cannot be carried over to the next cycle, and a second virtual machine that executes processing that can be carried over to the next cycle. The management unit executes a first control for extending the allocation time of the first virtual machine and shortening the allocation time of the second virtual machine, when a predetermined condition indicating deterioration of the external device is satisfied.

Abstract: In a vehicle-mounted system, a first ECU (or “first vehicle-mounted device”) and a second ECU (or “second vehicle-mounted device”) are connected to a communication bus. When the first ECU has received the first or second activation data via the communication bus in a low-power state where power consumption is low, the first ECU transitions to a high power state whose power consumption is larger than the low power state. When the second ECU has received the first data via the communication bus in a low-power state where power consumption is low, the second vehicle-mounted device is maintained in the low power state. When the second ECU has received the second data via the communication bus in the low-power state, the second ECU transitions to a high power state. A management device transmits the first activation data and the second activation data via the communication bus.
