Patent number: 8536826Abstract: An electric vehicle information system prevents circulation of non-authentic batteries and battery components for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle data processing system is employed that performs, on an electric vehicle battery module having a plurality of battery cells installed therein, authentication of individual battery cells and the battery module itself in a hierarchical manner using a microcomputer. An electric vehicle is configured so as to cause the microcomputer of the data processing system to accumulate voltage history and charge history of the batteries in a nonvolatile storage circuit. The history information and the electric vehicle ID can be gathered by a maintenance device and a data server via an electronic control unit of the electric vehicle. A maintenance service system may thus be provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Kazunari Matsuoka, Akira Yamazaki, Jun Miyake, Masayuki Hirokawa

Publication number: 20110083161Abstract: The vehicle includes electronic control units, and performs an authentication process to judge the validity of an external device outside the vehicle, e.g. a maintenance device, which tries accessing the electronic control unit. Based on the result of the judgment, the vehicle decides a range in which the maintenance device can access the electronic control unit. In the authentication, e.g. both the maintenance device and the vehicle use authentication microcomputers respectively. According to the invention, an external device outside the vehicle can be inhibited from making an unwanted access to the electronic control unit of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2008Publication date: April 7, 2011Inventors: Takayuki Ishida, Masayuki Hirokawa, Kazuo Tashiro

Patent number: 5530826Abstract: In a read only memory, compression data of original data are stored in a storage unit, a read address which is given from the outside in order to read original data is converted into a storage address of the compression data in the storage unit which corresponds to the original data, the compression data which is read out in accordance with the converted storage address is expanded to restore the original data, and the restored original data is read out to the outside. In order to make it difficult for an unauthorized person to use the ROM, dummy address conversion data are mixed with address conversion data.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1993Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Ryohei Higuchi, Masayuki Hirokawa, Kenji Kouda, Masahide Kaneko

Patent number: 5057998Abstract: In case of performing the data transfer between 2 systems respectively operating under different CPUs, it has been traditionally done through I/O interface, and the control of the I/O interface has been done by said CPU.The present invention has been made to implement the data transfer between 2 systems using the data transfer interface equipped with the controller to give and take the dual port memory, and the data between the dual port memory and the outside. Writing from the outside into the dual port memory in this case has been made to be indicated by the flag 1, by which the load of the data transfer of CPU itself is to be retrenched.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1990Date of Patent: October 15, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masayuki Hirokawa

Patent number: 4999768Abstract: A data transfer control unit for completing data transfer between two systems using data transfer interfaces equipped with a controller, a serial I/O interface, and a dual port RAM. The controller is dedicated to controlling interfacing between the system and an outside source. Writing data from the outside source into the dual port memory is indicated by an internal flag. When this flag is set, it indicates that data has been loaded and needs to be moved to the system RAM.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1990Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masayuki Hirokawa
