  • Patent number: 12135972
    Abstract: Provided is an in-vehicle information processing apparatus capable of continuously executing an application program run on an OS even while that OS is restarting, a control method, and a computer program. An in-vehicle information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is installed in a vehicle and includes a control unit that controls a plurality of operating systems (OSs) running on common hardware, wherein the control unit determines whether or not the plurality of OSs need to be restarted, in a case in which the control unit determines that one OS needs to be restarted, runs an application program running on the one OS on another OS different from the one OS, restarts the one OS, and after restart is complete, runs the application program running on the other OS on the one OS.

  • Publication number: 20240046720
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted information processing apparatus is mounted in a vehicle and includes: a plurality of processing units configured to execute processing in parallel; and a plurality of shared storage units that are accessible by the plurality of processing units, wherein the plurality of processing units exchange information via at least one of the shared storage units and change the at least one of the shared storage units used to exchange information, at predetermined timing. A detection unit configured to detect an abnormality for the shared storage units is also provided. The predetermined timing is the timing at which the detection unit has detected an abnormality occurred at the at least one of the shared storage units. When the detection unit has detected an abnormality occurred at the at least one of the shared storage units, the plurality of processing units may exchange information via a different shared storage unit.
