  • Patent number: 11453375
    Abstract: A vehicle controller, a vehicle control system, a vehicle learning device, a vehicle control method, and a memory medium are provided. A switching process switches relationship defining data used in an operation process to post-measure data, when a detection process detects that a functional recovery measure has been taken. The switching process includes a process that uses, as the post-measure data, initial data that is the relationship defining data of a state before an update process is executed as the vehicle travels.

  • Patent number: 11421622
    Abstract: A vehicle controller includes processing circuitry and a storage device. The storage device stores relationship specifying data that specifies a relationship between a state of a vehicle and at least one action variable. The at least one action variable is a variable related to operation of an operating unit of an internal combustion engine. The processing circuitry is configured to execute an obtaining process that obtains a state of the vehicle, an operating process that operates the operating unit based on a value of the at least one action variable, a reward calculation process, an updating process that updates the relationship specifying data, and a determination process that determines whether the internal combustion engine has deteriorated. The determination process is executed on condition that at least one of the at least one action variable equals a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 11377084
    Abstract: An update process updates relationship defining data by inputting, to a predetermined update map, a state of a vehicle obtained by a state obtaining process, a value of an action variable used to operate an electronic device, and a reward corresponding to an operation of an electronic device. A range in which an operation process uses, as the action variable, a value different from a value that maximizes an expected return related to the reward is defined as a return non-maximizing range. In a case in which a degree of deterioration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree, a changing process changes the return non-maximizing range to a side on which the return non-maximizing range is expanded as compared to a case in which the degree of deterioration is less than the predetermined degree.
