AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, software update systems for multiple platforms are difficult to coordinate, resulting in complex software updates and a lack of scalability. Whenever a platform or update method is added, a control unit for controlling software updates needs to be added, which increases the coordination complexity.

Method used

A software update apparatus and system are provided, in which a first update control unit and a second update control unit manage software units on different platforms respectively. The first update control unit sends control commands and simulates software units on a second platform, and the second update control unit converts the control commands into control commands on the actual platform, thereby realizing cross-platform software updates.

Benefits of technology

It enables flexible updates to the software of vehicle systems composed of multiple platforms, simplifies cross-platform software update coordination, and improves system scalability.
