Abstract: An on-board device includes a processor. The processor is configured to operate as an acquisition unit configured to acquire data from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, a human-machine-interface (HMI) unit configured to perform a process for exerting a human-machine-interface (HMI) function, and a data management unit configured to make determination on a category of the data delivered from the acquisition unit and deliver, to the HMI unit, data in a first category that does not contain data that is not desired to be delivered to the HMI unit. The HMI unit is configured to perform the process for exerting the HMI function based on the data delivered from the data management unit.

Abstract: A transmitter includes a processor configured to: acquire positional information indicating a position of the transmitter; and transmit, to a receiver, first transmission target data out of transmission target data retained by the transmitter and including a data body and effective range information indicating an effective range of the data body, the first transmission target data including the effective range information indicating a first effective range that covers the position of the transmitter that is indicated by the positional information.

Abstract: An information providing method includes: transmitting, by a management server, content information indicating contents to a terminal; storing, by the terminal, the content information transmitted from a management server in a storage; transmitting, by the terminal, the content information stored in the storage to an information processing device of a vehicle when communication is established with the vehicle; receiving, by the information processing device, the content information transmitted from the terminal; and outputting, by the information processing device, the received content information.

Abstract: It is possible to simultaneously obtain a task delay guarantee and an effective task execution. Each of tasks (A1, A2, A3) is divided into a guaranteed portion and a controllable portion. The controllable portion is handled as a portion which can be deleted. While virtually changing the processing level of the reserved tasks (A1, A2) between the case not containing any controllable portion and the case containing a controllable portion, it is judged whether a task (A3) newly requested for reservation can be executed and at the processing level when the execution is judged to be possible, tasks (A1, A2, A3) to be executed are selected. By adjusting the quality of the reserved tasks (A1, A2), it is possible to accept and execute the task (A3) newly requested for reservation. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously obtain the task delay guarantee and the effective task execution.

Abstract: A task management system for executing a task selected from tasks structuring a task combination, includes a judging unit for judging whether there is a task combination switchover request or not, a switchover unit for switching over the task combination after completing an execution of a specified task in the tasks structuring the task combination before the switchover when judging that there is the switchover request, and an execution unit for executing the task selected from the tasks structuring the task combination switched over by the switchover unit.

Abstract: A task execution system including at least two processors has a task management table registered with an associated relationship between at least a task, a main execution processor for executing the task and an in-charge-of-stoppage processor for executing the task when the main execution processor stops, means for selecting an executable task from among tasks registered in the task management table, means for checking, if a processor other than the processor trying to execute the selected task is registered as the main execution processor for the selected task, a stoppage state of the processor registered as the main execution processor, and means for executing the selected task if the processor registered as the main execution processor remains stopped.

Abstract: A judgment unit judges whether or not an execution of a registration target task gaining an access to a specified resource can be completed before an elapse of deadline time thereof even if an execution start timing of the registration target task is delayed when registering the task. A registration unit registers, as an execution target task, the registration target task judged such that the execution thereof can be completed before the elapse of the deadline time. A control unit halts a resource assignment to a task trying to access the specified resource afterward till a resource assignment to a task having earlier accessed to the specified resource is completed among the tasks registered as the execution target tasks when switching over the task.
