Patent number: 11936500Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shu Ishizuka, Hiroya Ando, Taichi Matsumura, Masashi Amesara, Yutaka Ueda, Toshio Kawamura, Tomomi Kawamura, Yoshifumi Ohmori, Toshio Shimada, Yoshiro Hirata

Patent number: 10606796Abstract: An on-board network system includes a plurality of controllers connected to a bus, a detecting unit that detects an error that occurs, a measuring unit that measures a degree of error occurrence detected by the detecting unit, and a communication controller that reduces a communication speed and a communication data amount of at least one of the controllers from a first speed and a first data amount to a second speed and a second data amount, when the error occurrence degree becomes equal to or larger than a first degree. The communication controller reduces the communication speed and the communication data amount, such that a first communication time it takes for data to be transmitted at the first speed in the first data amount is longer than a second communication time it takes for data to be transmitted at the second speed in the second data amount.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoshiro Hirata
