  • Patent number: 11861348
    Abstract: An update control system and method of a vehicle controller are capable of determining whether a user's vehicle is being updated, based on a state-of-charge (SOC) change rate pattern indicating a degree of SOC change reduced while other vehicles are performing the corresponding update upon determining whether to perform an update using an OTA service. The system and the method re-extract a SOC change rate pattern by using a change in a SOC value measured at the beginning of an update in the corresponding vehicle to re-calculate a remaining SOC value. Thus, the success rate of a controller update using the OTA service and the update performance rate in which an actual update is in progress are increased.

  • Patent number: 11040676
    Abstract: A power distribution apparatus of a vehicle includes a power input terminal configured to receive power. A power output terminal is connected to a load and a main fuse is connected to the power input terminal and to the load through the power output terminal. A number of sub fuses are connected to the power input terminal and a switching circuit is provided between the plurality of sub fuses and the power output terminal. A controller is configured to supply power to the load through the main fuse in response to an operation signal of the load and control the switching circuit so that at least one of the plurality of sub fuses is selectively connected to the load.
