Patent number: 8310352Abstract: While ECUs are connected with a distribution apparatus via a communication line, each of the ECUs sends status notification representing own status to the distribution apparatus. The distribution apparatus creates status information representing status of the ECUs in accordance with status notifications received from the ECUs connected with the distribution apparatus. This status information is sent to other distribution apparatuses together with data for synchronizing a database. The other ECUs perform similar operations to those of the ECUs, while the other distribution apparatuses perform similar operations to those of the distribution apparatus. Therefore, each of the distribution apparatuses can recognize the status of all the ECUs.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Yukihiro Miyashita

Publication number: 20110105017Abstract: The relay devices store data received from an ECU connected to each of the relay devices in the first reception buffers, respectively. During a synchronizing period, the relay devices perform transmission and reception by mainline frames including attribute value groups mutually received from the ECUs. Data read out from the databases are transmitted to the ECUs. The databases are synchronized with one another only when the relay device receives the final frame from the relay device which received all the mainline frames and issues COMMIT.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicants: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY, AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hiroaki Takada, Ryo Kurachi, Yukihiro Miyashita

Publication number: 20110047244Abstract: When sending data, an ECU sends time lag information indicating a time lag that is a difference between time of generating time point at which the data is generated and time of sending start time point at which the ECU actually starts sending the data. When transferring the data, a relay apparatus adds time lag information indicating a time lag that is a difference between time of receiving start time point at which the relay apparatus starts receiving the data and time of transferring start time point at which the relay apparatus starts transferring the data, onto the time lag added on the received data. When receiving the data, an ECU determines for the received data the time of the generating time point that is earlier the time lag indicated by the time lag information of the received data than the time at which the ECU starts receiving the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2009Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicants: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY, AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hiroaki Takada, Ryo Kurachi, Yukihiro Miyashita

Publication number: 20100211676Abstract: When communication is performed with the upstream and downstream sides being defined in the order of relay apparatuses, the relay apparatuses each transmit a keepalive message representing that they are effectively performing communication. When no keepalive message can be received from the relay apparatus and an abnormality is detected thereby, the relay apparatus transmits a keepalive message including abnormality information representing that the abnormality is detected. By receiving the keepalive message including the abnormality information, the relay apparatus detects the abnormality on the upstream side, changes a communication path, and transmits a master candidate notification to the relay apparatus on the downstream side in order that the relay apparatus itself becomes a master.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2009Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicants: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY, AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hiroaki Takada, Ryo Kurachi, Yukihiro Miyashita
