Abstract: An unprotected area of a storage stores a monitoring application. A protected area of the storage stores a duplicate application that is a copy of the monitoring application at a point in time when the monitoring application was stored in the unprotected area. Based on an execution signal of the monitoring application, a CPU stores, as first data in a RAM, a copy of a source code included in the monitoring application. The CPU also executes the monitoring application based on the first data. Based on the execution signal, the CPU stores, as second data in the RAM, the copy of the source code included in the duplicate application. During execution of the monitoring application, the CPU stops execution of the monitoring application when a discrepancy is detected between the first data and the second data.

Abstract: When a request for storing a new application is received in the first storage unit, a new application is downloaded and the new application is stored in the first storage unit, a maximum usage amount of the second storage unit used in association with the execution of the new application is calculated, and when the calculated maximum usage amount is larger than the set value, the new application is erased from the first storage unit, and when the calculated maximum usage amount is equal to or smaller than the set value, the new application is put into an executable state without being erased from the first storage unit.

Abstract: The information processing device includes a CPU, DRAM, SRAM and hibernation circuitry. The hibernation circuit executes an evacuation processing of reading out particular data which is data stored in DRAM and storing the particular data in SRAM when a predetermined execution condition for hibernation is satisfied. CPU shuts off the electric power supply to DRAM while maintaining the electric power supply to SRAM after the evacuation processing is completed. When startup, CPU reads out the particular data stored in SRAM when the particular data is stored in SRAM.

Abstract: OTA master mounted on the vehicle is configured as an in-vehicle device that manages updating of the software of the vehicle. The OTA master determines whether user consent is necessary based on the type of software. Then, when determining that user consent is necessary, the OTA master makes an inquiry to the user as to whether to execute a process for the update of the software.

Abstract: The OTA master downloads data from the OTA server via the off-vehicle network. The processing circuit of the OTA master determines whether the communication speed when downloading data via the external network is less than the determined communication speed. When the processing circuit determines that the communication speed will be less than the determined communication speed, the processing circuit proposes to the user to change the communication plan to a communication plan that allows the communication speed to be higher than or equal to the determined communication speed.

Abstract: A vehicle is equipped with an OTA master. A processing circuit of the OTA master predicts whether a prohibition period occurs when an activation process of activating software in a storage device of a target ECU is performed the next time the vehicle is started, the prohibition period being a period during which the vehicle is prohibited from starting to move or the use of a specific function in the vehicle is prohibited. When the processing circuit predicts that the prohibition period occurs when the activation process is performed the next time the vehicle is started, the processing circuit notifies a user of the vehicle of the length of the prohibition period.

The one or more processors are configured to connect the vehicle to the wireless LAN on a condition that the one or more processors determine that the update of the software is in the executable state.

Abstract: A software updating device includes a central processing unit (CPU), the CPU being configured to execute: obtaining schedule information, the schedule information including information regarding whether a scheduled event is scheduled for a user and information regarding a time slot of the scheduled event; predicting a blank period in the future in which the scheduled event will not occur, based on the schedule information that is acquired; deciding a scheduled update date-and-time that is a date and time when an update of software for an information processing device is performed, within the blank period; and performing the update of the software at the scheduled update date-and-time.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus for a vehicle includes one or more processors configured to: set a permission period of an update process based on input from an outside, the update process being a process in which software of an electronic control unit mounted on the vehicle is updated to update software; when no permission period is set, execute the update process on condition that an approval signal indicating approval to the update process is acquired; and when the permission period is set, execute the update process in the permission period not on the condition that the approval signal is acquired.

Abstract: An information processing device is for a vehicle. The information processing device includes one or more processors configured to: receive update software for an electronic control device mounted on the vehicle; perform an update of software of the electronic control device to the update software; determine whether an occupant is present in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle; make a notification before update to the update software is started when determining that the occupant is present in the vehicle cabin, the notification being made to allow the occupant to select whether to start the update to the update software; and start the update to the update software without making the notification when determining that no occupant is present in the vehicle cabin.

Abstract: A vehicle information processing device includes a processor. The processor performs download by receiving update software for an electronic control device mounted on a vehicle.
