Abstract: A software update device updates software for an in-vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle. An information acquisition unit acquires, from a server provided outside the vehicle, update process information. The output unit outputs consent request information. The execution unit executes the update process. The calculation unit calculates an estimated time required for the update. The communication status acquisition unit acquires communication status information related to communication status with the server. The correction unit corrects the estimated time based on the communication status information. The notification unit outputs information on the corrected estimated time. The notification unit, when the corrected estimated time is shorter than the estimated time before correction, does not output information on the corrected estimated time.

Abstract: A software updating device includes a controller and a storage device. The software updating device uses software update data of a vehicle for updating the software. The storage device stores a common package including at least the update data, and an identification package including common package identification information assigned to the common package and vehicle identification information that is associated with the common package identification information and that identifies the vehicle. The controller transmits, to a target vehicle subject to software update, the identification package including the vehicle identification information associated with the target vehicle, and transmits, to the target vehicle in accordance with a request from the target vehicle, the common package to which is assigned the common package identification information included in the identification package.

Abstract: Update data is acquired from an external instrument (10) to a master device (1), and the update data acquired to the master device (1) is written to a data storage side of a storage unit (201) included in an electronic control device (2) according to an instruction from the master device (1). After the update data is written to the data storage side, a first detection unit (102) is used to determine whether or not a vehicle is parked, and when a determination is made using the first detection unit (102) that the vehicle is parked, an instruction is given to the electronic control device (2) to activate a program stored in the data store side and rewritten with the update data.

Abstract: An electronic control system for vehicles includes an electronic control device and a master device. The master device is connected to at least two or more groups of electronic control devices each including the electronic control device and gives an instruction to the electronic control device. The electronic control device includes a storage unit including a data storage side; a second detection unit that detects a state of a vehicle; a rewrite execution unit that writes update data acquired from the master device to the data storage side to rewrite a program; an activation determination unit that determines whether or not to activate the program rewritten with the update data; and an activation execution unit that activates the program.

Abstract: A software updating device is provided executes a process for updating software that operate a vehicle-mounted equipment. The software updating device includes a controller and a chargeable onboard battery. The controller acquires the software and applies the software to control the equipment. The chargeable onboard battery supplies electric power to the controller. The controller executes the software update process using the electric power supplied from the onboard battery, when the onboard battery is not being charged. When the controller executes the software update process using the electric power supplied from the onboard battery, the controller prohibits charging of the onboard battery when the onboard battery is not being charged.

Abstract: A software update device is configured to update software for an in-vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle. The software update device includes an information acquisition unit, an output unit, an execution unit, a communication status acquisition unit, a correction unit, and a notification unit. The information acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from a server provided outside the vehicle, update process information related to an update of the software. The output unit is configured to output consent request information for asking a user whether to consent to the update of the software. The execution unit is configured to execute an update process for the software according to response information that is a response to the consent request information from the user. The calculation unit is configured to calculate an estimate time required for the update.

Abstract: Provided is a software updating device for executing processing for updating software causing an equipment mounted on a vehicle to operate. The software updating device includes a controller that acquires the software, and controls the equipment by applying the software to the equipment. The controller includes a first storage unit that stores acquired first software and a second storage unit that stores acquired second software. In a state where no driving force is output by a power train of the vehicle, the controller executes processing for updating the software by changing software to be applied to the equipment from the first software to the second software.

Abstract: A software updating device is provided which executes a process for updating software used for operating vehicle-mounted equipment. The software updating device includes a controller that acquires the software and applies the software to the equipment in order to update the software. The controller is configured to: cause a warning device to output a warning when an abnormality relating to the equipment occurs. The controller is further configured to prohibit outputting of the warning by the warning device when the abnormality relating to the equipment is detected while the software update process is being executed.
