  • Publication number: 20240362007
    Abstract: A software update device is configured to update software for an in-vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle. The software update device includes an information acquisition unit, an output unit, an execution unit, a communication status acquisition unit, a correction unit, and a notification unit. The information acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from a server provided outside the vehicle, update process information related to an update of the software. The output unit is configured to output consent request information for asking a user whether to consent to the update of the software. The execution unit is configured to execute an update process for the software according to response information that is a response to the consent request information from the user. The calculation unit is configured to calculate an estimate time required for the update.

  • Patent number: 12106090
    Abstract: A software updating device is provided which executes a process for updating software used for operating vehicle-mounted equipment. The software updating device includes a controller that acquires the software and applies the software to the equipment in order to update the software. The controller is configured to: cause a warning device to output a warning when an abnormality relating to the equipment occurs. The controller is further configured to prohibit outputting of the warning by the warning device when the abnormality relating to the equipment is detected while the software update process is being executed.

  • Patent number: 12106089
    Abstract: Provided is a software updating device for executing processing for updating software causing an equipment mounted on a vehicle to operate. The software updating device includes a controller that acquires the software, and controls the equipment by applying the software to the equipment. The controller includes a first storage unit that stores acquired first software and a second storage unit that stores acquired second software. In a state where no driving force is output by a power train of the vehicle, the controller executes processing for updating the software by changing software to be applied to the equipment from the first software to the second software.

  • Publication number: 20230106365
    Abstract: A sheet metal file includes a main body composed of a sheet metal member that is flexible, and cutting edges raised by setting on a surface, on a first side, of the main body. The sheet metal file is allowed to smooth an object to be smoothed. The main body is an elastic member. The cutting edges are formed so that a driving depth with respect to the main body is in a range of 20 to 40% of a thickness of the main body. The sheet metal file is allowed to smooth an object to be smoothed with the surface of the main body on which the cutting edges are raised facing a curved surface of the object to be smoothed and with the main body bent along the curved surface.
