Abstract: An electronic control unit configured to be supplied with electric power from a battery in a vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to accumulate the operating time of the electronic control unit under a condition where a switch of a drive source of the vehicle is in an OFF state. The controller is configured to reset the electronic control unit when the elapsed time from a start point of accumulation of the operating time is less than a predetermined elapsed time, at a point in time when the cumulative operating time obtained by accumulating the operating time reaches a predetermined cumulative time.

Abstract: An information processing device that communicates with one or more electronic control units of a vehicle. The information processing device identifies an electronic control unit performing an abnormal operation based on messages sent or received by the one or more electronic control units and acquires snapshots data representing the current operating state of the identified electronic control unit.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted software updating apparatus for performing a software update by downloading software from outside a vehicle includes a storage unit storing a past on/off status of an accessory (ACC); a software update period determining unit determining a software update period in which software update is to be performed based on information in the storage unit such that the software update is performed in an ACC-off period; and a software update performing unit performing the software update in the software update period determined by the software update period determining unit.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved data transferring menthol performed in a communication network comprising a management system M1 and a plurality of nodes. Since the management system M1 collectively manages the algorithm information that indicates algorithm possessed in each node, if the fist node does not have algorithm needed for processing a certain packet, the first node can find the second node with the algorithm by requesting the network management unit M1 to send protocol information. In addition, the first node can transfer the certain packet to the second node to process the certain packet by using the algorithm.
