  • Patent number: 11956386
    Abstract: An emergency report can be made to a plurality of emergency services. Provided is a communication control device 2 housing a subscriber terminal 1, and the communication control device 2 includes: a call control unit 21 that connects an emergency call made from the subscriber terminal 1 to an emergency-call reception switchboard 5; and an outgoing/incoming call inhibition unit 22 that inhibits outgoing/incoming calls from/to the subscriber terminal 1 in a prescribed period, when the emergency call is disconnected by the subscriber terminal 1. The outgoing/incoming call inhibition unit 22: when a call is made from the subscriber terminal 1 in the prescribed period, determines whether the call is an emergency call or a general call; in a case of an emergency call, cancels inhibition for outgoing/incoming calls from/to the subscriber terminal 1 and connects the call by using the call control unit 21; and in a case of a general call, does not connect the call.

  • Patent number: 11936500
    Abstract: An in-vehicle network system deployed in a vehicle includes a plurality of first nodes configured to perform an operation relevant to a first function in the vehicle, a second node configured to perform an operation relevant to a second function different from the first function in the vehicle; and a relay device configured to relay communication between the first nodes and the second node. The relay device is configured to start relay of communication between the first nodes earlier than the relay of communication between the first node and the second node at a time of startup.

  • Patent number: 11063871
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to manage transmission timing of predetermined data to the network, transmit the data to the network based on the transmission timing, measure an actual transmission time, determine whether the actual transmission time exceeds a specified transmission time, when the transmitted data is predetermined control object data, when determination is made that the actual transmission time is equal to or less than the specified transmission time, set next transmission timing of the control object data to be the predetermined period, and when the transmitted data is the control object data, when determination is made that the actual transmission time exceeds the specified transmission time, delay next transmission timing of the control object data by a predetermined waiting time with respect to the predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 10887128
    Abstract: An in-vehicle network system includes a plurality of relay devices that is connected to control devices of a vehicle, and communicates with each other and is configured such that each of a plurality of request devices that transmits a response request to the control device is connected to any one of the relay devices, a storage unit that stores a priority of the request devices, a master setter that sets, as the master, the relay device to which the request device having the highest priority has been connected among the relay devices to which any one of the request devices has been connected, and an arbitrator that performs arbitration to prioritize a response request from the request device having the highest priority when the response requests are transmitted from at least two of the request devices when the relay device in which the arbitrator is included is the master.

  • Patent number: 10668876
    Abstract: An in-vehicle network system includes a plurality of controllers; a plurality of communication lines connected to the controllers, respectively, a relay device connected to the controllers via the communication lines, and a retention determiner configured to determine whether retention of data occurs in the relay device. The relay device is configured to relay data between the communication lines, and configured to preferentially relay data having a priority equal to or higher than a predetermined priority such that the data reaches the controller that is a transmission destination among the controllers within a first predetermined time when the retention determiner determines that the retention occurs.
