Abstract: The objective of the present disclosure is to obtain a vehicle control apparatus that executes updating of high-priority software so as to prevent a vehicle from abnormally operating and that makes it possible to perform software updating that provides no adverse effect to the behavior of the vehicle. The electric rotating machine apparatus includes the computing processing unit, a storage apparatus in which software items are written, a priority reading unit that reads a priority of software, a reception unit that receives updating software, an updating-feasibility determination unit that determines that updating is feasible, in the case where the priority for software is larger than a predetermined priority threshold value, and a software updating unit that transfers the updating software to the storage apparatus, in the case where it is determined that updating is feasible.

Abstract: In the present disclosure, after starting software updating, a power-source remaining capacity decreasing amount is detected and then it is determined whether or not the software updating can be continued, so that high-stability software updating can be performed. A vehicle control apparatus includes a storage apparatus in which software has been written, a reception unit that receives updating software, a power-source-remaining-capacity detection unit, a power-source-remaining-capacity decrease detection unit, a software-updating-power calculation unit, a software-updating-starting permission unit, a software-updating-continuation permission unit, and a software-updating control unit; in the case where a power-source remaining capacity decreasing amount of a battery is smaller than a predetermined decrease determination value, the vehicle control apparatus permits continuation of software updating.

Abstract: An external communication unit receives, from a server, update information including information indicating an update target device whose software is to be updated among devices and information indicating a generation source device among the devices, the generation source device being installed with generation source software that is a source for generating update data to be used for updating update target software installed in the update target device. An update data generating unit generates, on the basis of the update information, the update data using the generation source software installed in a host device of the update data generating unit, when the host device is the generation source device. A software update unit updates, on the basis of the update information, the update target software installed in a host device of the software update unit using the generated update data, when the host device is the update target device.

Abstract: An intestinal activity regulation device includes a regulator that performs a regulation process of regulating intestinal activity of a target person based on the state of the intestinal activity detected by a detector that detects the state of the intestinal activity of the target person.

Abstract: A surrounding information obtaining unit determines whether a first vehicle has traveled on a different road than a road on which a host vehicle travels, on the basis of information indicating roads and a facility present around the host vehicle and a travel state of the first vehicle. A difference checking unit checks whether a target road determined to have been traveled by the first vehicle is included in host vehicle map information. A wireless communication unit inquires whether an unknown target road confirmed not to be included in the host vehicle map information is included in master map information in a server device. When the unknown target road is included in the master map information, the wireless communication unit receives updating map information including the unknown target road from the server device. A map updating unit updates the host vehicle map information using the updating map information.
