Abstract: An onboard device transfers an encrypted message encrypted outside a vehicle to one or more vehicle controllers connected to a vehicle network. When the encrypted message is an individual message to one of the vehicle controllers, the onboard device transmits the encrypted message to the one of the vehicle controllers via the vehicle network. When the encrypted message is a common message to the one or more vehicle controllers, the onboard device decrypts the encrypted message using an encryption key owned by the onboard device and then transmits the decrypted message to the one or more vehicle controllers via the vehicle network.

Abstract: In a vehicle remote operation system, when acquiring remote operation request information from a user of a vehicle 100, a server 210 in a command administration center 200 transmits access request information, requesting an access to the center 200 as a predetermined connection destination, to a command acquisition ECU 110a mounted on the vehicle 100. When acquiring the access request information transmitted from the center 200, the ECU 110a accesses to the center 200 as the predetermined connection destination connected to a network 400. Thus, the command information server 212 in the center 200 provides command information, corresponding to a remote operation command corresponding to a remote operation requested by the user of the vehicle 100, to the ECU 110a via the network 400. The ECU 110a then supplies the command information to the corresponding vehicle ECU 110 for allowing the vehicle 100 to operate as requested by the user.
