  • Patent number: 11849324
    Abstract: A detection device includes: a monitoring unit configured to monitor, as target messages, an authorized message being periodically transmitted and the unauthorized message in the in-vehicle network; and a generation unit configured to generate a reference time to be used in a detection process of detecting the unauthorized message; a detection unit configured to perform detection process, based on time difference between a time corresponding to a transmission time of target message based on a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the reference time generated by the generation unit. When target message has been determined to be abnormal in the detection process, the generation unit, based on a value obtained by adding a latest statistical value to the reference time, generates a new reference time to be used in the detection process for a target message to be transmitted after the target message having been determined to be abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11669233
    Abstract: A display control device includes a processor. The processor displays plural areas. The plural areas include a first area, a second area, a third area and a fourth area. The first area is related to a search for content data by a user. The second area is related to a selection of content data by the user. The third area is related to a display of content of the content data selected in the second area. The fourth area is related to a user's edit of information associated with the content data displayed in the third area. The processor hides the first area and the second area and does not hide the third area and the fourth area when the content data is selected by the user in the second area.
