Abstract: A module delivery system notifies a driver of a vehicle that, of programs executed by a processor mounted on the vehicle, a program corresponding to a delivered update module delivered from a server to the vehicle via a communication network is updatable. In response to a predetermined operation by the driver responding to the notification, the system updates the program corresponding to the delivered update module with the delivered update module. For each of attributes, the system calculates a representative value of hold times, each being the time from delivery of the delivered update module having the attribute until update of the program corresponding to the delivered update module. The system then delivers an update module having an attribute with a smaller representative value of hold times more preferentially to the vehicle via the communication network.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing a resource includes a buffer memory; and a processor configured to store, when target data for each of processes is acquired, the acquired target data in the buffer memory, the processes occurring asynchronously and periodically and being assigned degrees of priority, and assign a shared resource to some of the processes for which the target data is stored in the buffer memory in descending order of the priority at every predetermined timing, the shared resource being usable for each of the processes.
