  • Publication number: 20260229118
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a position information acquisition device that acquires information indicating a position of a vehicle, an information transmission device that periodically transmits the information indicating the position of the vehicle acquired by the position information acquisition device to a server, and a storage device. The information processing device sets a transmission interval for transmitting the information indicating the position of the vehicle to the server such that the transmission interval becomes shorter as a vehicle speed of the vehicle decreases. The information processing device is configured to determine whether a recording trigger condition is satisfied based on a change in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and when the recording trigger condition is determined to be satisfied, to store information indicating a position of the vehicle at a time when the recording trigger condition is satisfied in a storage device.

  • Patent number: 12676032
    Abstract: An information processing device for a vehicle includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire vehicle location information that is information indicating a location of the vehicle, periodically transmit the acquired vehicle location information to a server, and change a transmission interval at which the vehicle location information is transmitted to the server in accordance with a speed range in which a speed of the vehicle is. The speed range is one of at least a first speed range and a second speed range in which a speed of the vehicle is higher than in the first speed range. The processing circuitry is configured to cause the transmission interval in the second speed range to be longer than the transmission interval in the first speed range.

  • Patent number: 12591291
    Abstract: The information processing device includes a CPU, DRAM, SRAM and hibernation circuitry. The hibernation circuit executes an evacuation processing of reading out particular data which is data stored in DRAM and storing the particular data in SRAM when a predetermined execution condition for hibernation is satisfied. CPU shuts off the electric power supply to DRAM while maintaining the electric power supply to SRAM after the evacuation processing is completed. When startup, CPU reads out the particular data stored in SRAM when the particular data is stored in SRAM.

  • Patent number: 12536272
    Abstract: An unprotected area of a storage stores a monitoring application. A protected area of the storage stores a duplicate application that is a copy of the monitoring application at a point in time when the monitoring application was stored in the unprotected area. Based on an execution signal of the monitoring application, a CPU stores, as first data in a RAM, a copy of a source code included in the monitoring application. The CPU also executes the monitoring application based on the first data. Based on the execution signal, the CPU stores, as second data in the RAM, the copy of the source code included in the duplicate application. During execution of the monitoring application, the CPU stops execution of the monitoring application when a discrepancy is detected between the first data and the second data.

  • Patent number: 12466411
    Abstract: An in-vehicle computer includes an execution device and a storage device including a RAM. The storage device stores programs of a plurality of applications to be executed by the execution device. The RAM stores temporary data of the applications. When the execution device determines that the RAM is running out of capacity, the execution device compresses the temporary data of the application stored in the RAM. At this time, the execution device compresses only the temporary data of the application other than the application that has been activated and is being executed by the execution device.

  • Patent number: 12323847
    Abstract: A communication system includes: a communication device configured to communicate with a server external to a vehicle; and a control device. The control device is configured to: control the communication device to receive predetermined data from the server while the vehicle is traveling along a travel route to a destination; acquire first and second ranges among the travel route; control the communication device to receive the data while the vehicle is traveling in the first range; and control the communication device in such a way that an interruption process is completed before the vehicle travels in the second range. The first range is a range where the data is received. The second range is a range where the data is not received. The interruption process is a process of interrupting the reception of the data in a resumable state.

  • Publication number: 20250103313
    Abstract: When a request for storing a new application is received in the first storage unit, a new application is downloaded and the new application is stored in the first storage unit, a maximum usage amount of the second storage unit used in association with the execution of the new application is calculated, and when the calculated maximum usage amount is larger than the set value, the new application is erased from the first storage unit, and when the calculated maximum usage amount is equal to or smaller than the set value, the new application is put into an executable state without being erased from the first storage unit.

  • Patent number: 11330083
    Abstract: A transformation device installed in a vehicle includes a transformation section, a transmission section, a detection section and a control section. The transformation section transforms data transmitted from a first control device in a first communication protocol to data in a second communication protocol. The transmission section transmits the data transformed by the transformation section to a second control device. The detection section detects an update of one or more of the first control device and the second control device. In a case in which an update of at least one of the first control device or the second control device is detected by the detection section, the control section changes a mode of transformation by the transformation section.
