Publication number: 20230046939Abstract: A security system includes an information transmission device, and a security device to which a target device is connectable. The information transmission device and the security device are connected to each other via a network. The information transmission device transmits, to the security device, generation information to be used for generating reference identification information. The security device generates the reference identification information by using the generation information received from the information transmission device via the network. The security device acquires identification information of the target device connected to the security device. The security device compares the acquired identification information with the generated reference identification information, and determines validity of the target device connected thereto, based on a result of comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Takanori MIYOSHI, Isao KATO, Satoru SAKURAZAWA, Yoichi HATA, Takumi ASAINA, Yoshikazu ISOYAMA

Patent number: 8126611Abstract: An on-vehicle communication system has a plurality of buses relay-connected through a relay connection unit, each of the buses having at least one ECU connected thereto. In the vehicle communication system, a basic routing table that specifies a relay point for transmitting from the relay connection unit to the ECU is stored in a ROM and a transmission list report message about message IDs is transmitted. The ECU receives the transmission list report message and sends back a transmission request message about a message ID, which is not included in the transmission list report message but should be received, to the relay connection unit. The transmission request message is received by a table creation unit in the relay connection unit. The table creation unit creates a new additional routing table indicating a correspondence relationship between an ID requested by the transmission request message and a transmission destination and being stored in a RAM.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Yoshikazu Isoyama
