  • Publication number: 20240031123
    Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes: a processing unit configured to perform time synchronization between own device, which is the in-vehicle device, and another device, which is another in-vehicle device, based on a data propagation delay time between the other device and the own device, and detect occurrence of an update event regarding the propagation delay time, wherein in a case where the processing unit detects occurrence of the update event, the processing unit requests time information used for updating the propagation delay time from the other device.

  • Publication number: 20230308256
    Abstract: Time synchronization is performed between the vehicle-mounted device and another device that is another vehicle-mounted device based on a data propagation delay time between the vehicle-mounted device and the other device. The vehicle-mounted device includes: a processing unit configured to receive, from the other device, request information that requests time information used for updating the propagation delay time, and transmit the time information to the other device; and a detection unit configured to detect an abnormality related to time synchronization, and acquire information regarding the detected abnormality.

  • Publication number: 20220264293
    Abstract: A relay device mounted to a vehicle includes a plurality of function units. The relay device includes: an authentication processing unit configured to acquire authentication information of a function unit from an external device outside the vehicle, and perform an authentication process regarding the function unit by using the acquired authentication information; and a relay processing unit configured to, on the basis of a result of the authentication process performed by the authentication processing unit, relay information between the function unit and another function unit. When a validity time limit of the authentication information has expired, the authentication processing unit acquires, from the external device, the authentication information that is new.

  • Publication number: 20190069371
    Abstract: A plurality of signal display lamps 1A to 1E are communicably connected together through a network 3. Each of the signal display lamps 1A to 1E includes a display portion 12 capable of performing a variable display. Each of the signal display lamps 1A to 1E is capable of performing a mirroring operation in addition to being capable of performing a variable display in the display portion 12 in response to an input signal that is input from input signal lines 8A to 8E. For example, in the signal display lamp 1A, any of the signal display lamps 1B to 1E is selected, and its display state can be simulated. Each of the mirroring source signal display lamps 1B to 1E can be selected by giving a selective command signal from a selective-command-signal generating device 60 connected to the input signal line 8 of the signal display lamp 1A.
