  • Publication number: 20260019228
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted apparatus includes: a transmission processing unit configured to perform a transmission process for transmitting, to another vehicle-mounted apparatus, first time synchronization information and second time synchronization information that includes a transmission time at which the first time synchronization information is transmitted, at a predetermined transmission cycle; and a correction unit configured to perform a correction process for correcting the transmission time to be included in the second time synchronization information in a current transmission process, based on a time difference between a current time at the vehicle-mounted apparatus and a previous transmission time, the previous transmission time being the transmission time in the previous transmission process, to a corrected transmission time obtained by adding, to the previous transmission time, the transmission cycle and a value obtained by splitting the time difference.

  • Publication number: 20240348472
    Abstract: A relay device includes: an upper port configured to receive an upper packet containing audio data of a plurality of channels; a plurality of lower ports configured to output lower packets containing audio data of one or a plurality of channels; and a generation unit configured to reconstruct the upper packet to generate the lower packets. The plurality of lower ports include a first lower port and a second lower port. The first lower port is a starting point of a first network. The second lower port is a starting point of a second network and does not share nodes with the first network. The generation unit deletes audio data of a channel to be reproduced in the second network from the audio data contained in the upper packet, to construct audio data to be contained in the lower packet to be outputted from the first lower port.
