no. 1 Embodiment

[0038] image 3 It is a flowchart explaining the procedure of the program update process according to the first embodiment which can be executed by the control device 120 . Figure 4A as well as Figure 4B This is an example of a time chart of the program update process according to the first embodiment.

[0039] For example, if the power supply of the vehicle 100 is turned on, the image 3 treatment shown.

[0040] Step S301

[0041] The control unit 122 of the control device 120 inquires of the vehicle management server 200 via the communication unit 121 whether there is an update to the existing program stored in the first storage area 1231 of the storage unit 123 .

[0042] Step S302

[0043] The control unit 122 of the control device 120 receives a reply to the inquiry from the vehicle management server 200 via the communication unit 121 . When the control unit 122 receives an answer that there is an update from the vehicle management server 200 (step S302, YES), th...

no. 2 Embodiment

[0056] Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B It is a flowchart explaining the procedure of the program update process according to the second embodiment that can be executed by the control device 120 . Figure 5A processing with Figure 5B The processes of are connected through connection points X and Y respectively.

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle control device, a program update method, and a program update system. The vehicle control device includes a memory having a first storage area for storing a program related to vehicle control and a second storage area for storing an update program for updating the program, and a controller configured to determine whether a vehicle is in a stop state and start an update process of updating the program stored in the first storage area with the update program stored in the second storage area when the controller determines that the vehicle is in the stop state.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle control device, a program update method, and a program update system. Background technology [0002] A vehicle is equipped with a plurality of control devices called ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Control devices such as ECU each have a storage unit that stores one or more programs executed by control units such as one or more CPUs, and each performs its own function. In order to improve the function of the control device, a method is proposed in which the program stored in the storage unit is rewritten into a newer version and updated. In particular, a solution is proposed in which the vehicle receives data for program update from an external server through wireless communication, so that the program can be updated without going to a repair factory or the like. [0003] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2011-148398 discloses a program update system for updating a program installed in an ECU mounte...
