[0112] Figure 4 This is an example of an internal block diagram of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: an input unit 110, a communication unit 120 for communicating with an external device, a plurality of communication modules EMa to EMD for internal communication, a memory 140, a signal processing device 170, a plurality of displays 180a to 180c, an audio output unit 185, and a power supply unit 190.

[0114] Multiple communication modules EMa to EMD can be configured separately in, for example... Figure 2 In the multiple regions Z1 to Z4.

[0115] On the other hand, the signal processing device 170 may have a communication switch 736b internally for data communication with each communication module EMa to EMD.

[0116] Each communication module EMa to EMD can perform data communication with multiple sensor devices SN or ECU 770 or area signal processing device 170Z.

[0117] On the other hand, the plurality of sensor devices SN may include a camera 195, a lidar 196, a radar 197, or a position sensor 198.

[0118] The input unit 110 may include physical buttons, panels, etc., for button input, touch input, etc.

[0119] On the other hand, the input unit 110 may be equipped with a microphone (not shown) for user voice input.

[0120] The communication unit 120 is able to exchange data wirelessly with the mobile terminal 600 or the server 400.

[0121] In particular, the communication unit 120 can wirelessly exchange data with the vehicle driver's mobile terminal. The wireless data communication method can be various types such as Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Direct, and APiX.

[0122] The communication unit 120 can receive weather information, road traffic information, and information such as TPEG (Transport Protocol Expert Group) from the mobile terminal 600 or the server 400. For this purpose, the communication unit 120 may include a mobile communication module (not shown).

[0123] Multiple communication modules EMa to EMD can receive sensor data from ECU 770, sensor device SN, or area signal processing device 170Z, and transmit the received sensor data to signal processing device 170.

[0124] Here, sensor data may include at least one of the following: vehicle orientation data, vehicle position data (GPS data), vehicle angle data, vehicle speed data, vehicle acceleration data, vehicle tilt data, vehicle forward / reverse data, battery data, fuel data, tire data, headlight data, vehicle interior temperature data, and vehicle interior humidity data.

[0125] Such sensor data can be acquired from heading sensors, yaw sensors, gyroscope sensors, position modules, vehicle forward / reverse sensors, wheel sensors, vehicle speed sensors, vehicle tilt detection sensors, battery sensors, fuel sensors, tire sensors, steering sensors for steering wheel rotation, vehicle interior temperature sensors, and vehicle interior humidity sensors.

[0126] On the other hand, the positioning module may include a GPS module or a position sensor 198 for receiving GPS information.

[0127] On the other hand, at least one of the plurality of communication modules EMa to EMD can transmit location information data detected by the GPS module or the location sensor 198 to the signal processing device 170.

[0128] On the other hand, at least one of the plurality of communication modules EMa to EMD is able to receive frontal image data, side image data, rear image data, and distance information of obstacles around the vehicle from the camera 195, lidar 196, or radar 197, and transmit the received information to the signal processing device 170.

[0129] The memory 140 is capable of storing various data for the overall operation of the vehicle control device 100, such as programs for processing or controlling the signal processing device 170.

[0130] For example, memory 140 can store data related to a hypervisor, a first virtual machine, to a third virtual machine, used to execute within processor 175.

[0131] The audio output unit 185 converts the electrical signal from the signal processing device 170 into an audio signal and outputs it. For this purpose, a speaker or the like can be included.

[0132] The power supply unit 190 can supply the power required for the operation of each structural element through the control of the signal processing device 170. In particular, the power supply unit 190 can obtain power from batteries or the like inside the vehicle.

[0133] The signal processing device 170 controls the overall operation of each unit within the vehicle control device 100.

[0134] For example, signal processing device 170 may include processor 175 that performs signal processing for vehicle displays 180a, 180b.

[0135] Processor 175 is capable of executing first virtual machines to third virtual machines (not shown) on a hypervisor (not shown) within processor 175.

[0136] The first virtual machine (not shown) in the first to third virtual machines (not shown) can be named the Server Virtual Machine, and the second to third virtual machines (not shown) can be named the Guest Virtual Machine.

[0137] For example, a first virtual machine (not shown) within processor 175 can receive sensor data from a plurality of sensor devices, such as vehicle sensor data, location information data, camera image data, audio data, or touch input data, and process or manipulate it for output.

[0138] In this way, by performing most of the data processing in the first virtual machine (not shown), 1:N data sharing can be achieved.

[0139] As another example, the first virtual machine (not shown) is able to directly receive and process CAN data, Ethernet data, audio data, radio data, USB data, and wireless communication data for the second to third virtual machines (not shown).

[0140] Furthermore, the first virtual machine (not shown) can transmit the processed data to the second virtual machine to the third virtual machine (not shown).

[0141] Therefore, by enabling only the first virtual machine (not shown) among the first to third virtual machines (not shown) to receive sensor data, communication data or external input data from a plurality of sensor devices to perform signal processing, the signal processing burden in other virtual machines is reduced, enabling 1:N data communication and thus achieving synchronization during data sharing.

[0142] On the other hand, the first virtual machine (not shown) can be controlled to record data in shared memory 508 and share the same data with the second virtual machine (not shown) and the third virtual machine (not shown).

[0143] For example, the first virtual machine (not shown) can be controlled to record vehicle sensor data, the aforementioned location information data, the aforementioned camera image data, or the aforementioned touch input data in shared memory 508, and share the same data with the second virtual machine (not shown) and the third virtual machine (not shown). This achieves 1:N data sharing.

[0144] Ultimately, by performing most of the data processing in the first virtual machine (not shown), 1:N data sharing can be achieved.

[0145] On the other hand, the first virtual machine (not shown) within the processor 175 can be controlled to be configured based on the shared memory 508 of the hypervisor 505 in order to transmit the same data to the second virtual machine (not shown) and the third virtual machine (not shown).

[0146] On the other hand, the signal processing device 170 is capable of processing various signals such as audio signals, image signals, and data signals. Therefore, the signal processing device 170 can be implemented as a system on chip (SOC).

[0180] On the other hand, the third virtual machine 840, which requires a high level of security, is preferably different from the first virtual machine 820 to the second virtual machine 830, and is preferably executed in the second processor 177, which is another core or other processor.

[0181] on the other hand, Figure 5a and Figure 5bWhen the first signal processing device 170a1 malfunctions, the backup second signal processing device 170a2 can operate.

[0182] Alternatively, signal processing devices 170a1 and 170a2 can operate simultaneously, with the first signal processing device 170a acting as the main device and the second signal processing device 170a2 acting as the auxiliary device.

[0188] Signal processing devices 170a1 and 170a2 receive data from a plurality of regional signal processing devices 170Z1 to 170Z4 or communication device 120 in a wired manner.

[0189] The accompanying drawings illustrate data exchange between signal processing devices 170a1, 170a2 and a plurality of regional signal processing devices 170Z1 to 170Z4 via wired communication, and data exchange between signal processing devices 170a1, 170a2 and server 400 via wireless communication. However, data exchange between communication device 120 and server 400 via wireless communication is also possible, and data exchange between signal processing devices 170a1, 170a2 and communication device 120 via wired communication is also possible.

[0190] On the other hand, the data received by the signal processing devices 170a1 and 170a2 may include camera data or sensor data.

[0199] That is, with Figure 5c The difference lies in how the processor 175b within the second signal processing device 170a2 further executes the insecure virtual machine 890.

[0200] In this manner, the processing of both safe and unsafe signals is performed separately in the first signal processing device 170a1 and the second signal processing device 170a2, thereby improving stability and processing speed.

[0215] Therefore, the signal processing apparatus 170 according to embodiments of this disclosure can perform multi-path routing based on Software Defined Network (SDN). This ensures a stable network environment for data reading or writing to the storage device 925.

[0248] On the other hand, the signal processing apparatus 170 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a second processor 178 and a neural processor 179.

[0249] On the other hand, the processor 175 according to an embodiment of this disclosure is capable of executing a service agent 800 for performing vehicle services. This service agent 800 may be named PICCOLO.

[0250] For example, the service agent 800 can control the receipt of execution-related data for performing SDV-based vehicle services and perform vehicle services based on the execution-related data.

[0251] On the other hand, Service Agent 800 can correspond to Service Coordination.

[0252] On the other hand, the processor 175 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can further execute a service scheduler 840 that exchanges data with a service agent 800 for performing vehicle services. The service scheduler 840 in this case can be named TIMPANI.

[0253] Figures 9 to 10 for Figure 8 The diagram referenced in the description.

[0254] Figure 9 Examples based on Figure 8 This is an example of service execution by a service agent.

[0255] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the processor 175 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of executing a service agent 800, a service scheduler 840, a kernel 880, and a service container 890 for performing vehicle services.

[0256] The service agent 800 can receive service execution-related data in file form from outside or inside the vehicle, and output instruction data (cmd) to the outside based on the service execution-related data.

[0257] For example, Service Agent 800 can receive service execution-related data in the form of YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) files.

[0258] On the other hand, the service agent 800 may include: a parser 810, which interprets or parses service execution-related data; and a state manager 820, which manages the difference between the current state and the desired state and transmits instruction data (cmd) to the workload coordinator 870 to achieve state transition.

[0259] On the other hand, the workload coordinator 870 can be named the Bluechi controller.

[0260] On the other hand, the workload coordinator 870 is able to control the execution of services interpreted in the service broker 800 using the real-time kernel 880 and the service container 890.

[0261] That is, the service container 890 can execute services based on data from the service broker 800 or the service scheduler 840.

[0262] On the other hand, the state manager 820 is able to receive result data from the workload coordinator 870.

[0263] On the other hand, the state manager 820 can transmit information (inf) of service execution related data interpreted by the parser 810 to the service scheduler 840, and receive error data from the service scheduler 840.

[0264] The service scheduler 840 may include a first service scheduler 850 that directly interacts with the service agent 800 and a second service scheduler 860 that indirectly interacts with the service agent 800 and acts as a node.

[0265] The first service scheduler 850 can generate a scheduling table 852 based on the information (inf) of service execution related data interpreted by the service agent 800, and generate scheduling information 854 based on the scheduling table 852 for monitoring.

[0266] For example, the monitor 856 within the first service scheduler 850 can transmit the result data of the monitored service to the status manager 820 within the service agent 800.

[0267] On the other hand, the scheduling information 854 generated from the first service scheduler 850 can be transmitted to the second service scheduler 860.

[0268] The real-time scheduler 862 within the second service scheduler 860 can output real-time scheduling information (config) for executing services in the real-time kernel 880 and service container 890 based on the scheduling information 854.

[0269] On the other hand, the time trigger 864 within the second service scheduler 860 can output time trigger information (config) for executing services in the real-time kernel 880 and service container 890 based on the scheduling information 854.

[0270] On the other hand, the monitor 865 in the second service scheduler 860 can collect the result data of the system resource status of the node and the real-time driving status of the service, and transmit the result data to the monitor 856 in the first service scheduler 850.

[0271] Figure 10 Examples Figure 8 or Figure 9 This is an example of the internal structure of a service agent.

[0272] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a service proxy 800 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a resolver 810, a gateway 840, a server 830, and a status manager 820.

[0273] On the other hand, the service agent 800 may also include storage 850.

[0274] The parser 810 is able to receive execution-related data for performing SDV-based vehicle services and interpret or parse the service execution-related data.

[0275] On the other hand, the parser 810 can receive service execution related data in the form of YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) files and interpret or parse the service execution related data in the YAML files.

[0276] Furthermore, the parser 810 can transmit the interpreted or parsed data to the server 830 or register it as a resource in the memory 850.

[0277] On the other hand, the parser 810 is able to store the data required for subsequent workload generation in the memory 850.

[0278] On the other hand, the parser 810 is capable of performing a conversion to a manifest corresponding to the workload coordinator 870, which acts as a multi-node service controller.

[0279] For example, the parser 810 can receive a YAML file or other form of manifest as an example of service execution-related data from the RPC sender 805 or the REST API.

[0280] Server 830 can receive parsing result data from parser 810 and share the parsing result data with other modules. In this case, server 830 can be named API server.

[0281] For example, server 830 can separate the parsing result data in parser 810 into condition data and action data, and store them in memory 850.

[0282] On the other hand, server 830 can transmit key values ​​of conditional data or action data that can be read from memory 850 as part of the parsing result data to gateway 840.

[0283] On the other hand, server 830 can control the storage of a portion of the data or a portion of the state information used for state management of service agent 800 in memory 850.

[0284] On the other hand, server 830 can support or request external communication using RPC (remote procedure call) and API.

[0285] On the other hand, server 830 can receive direct requests from direct request unit 801 or workload generation requests from workload generation request unit 803.

[0286] On the other hand, server 830 can transmit received direct requests or workload generation requests to workload coordinator 870.

[0287] Gateway 840 can receive various forms of vehicle messages and grasp the vehicle status based on the received vehicle messages.

[0288] On the other hand, the gateway 840 can control the data within the received vehicle messages to be filtered, and trigger events based on this, thereby enabling it to respond to the desired vehicle scenario and drive accordingly.

[0289] On the other hand, the gateway 840 can read the conditional data stored in the memory 850 based on the key value received from the server 830, and generate a filter based on the conditional data.

[0290] On the other hand, gateway 840 can transmit messages for vehicle sensors to message sender 807.

[0291] On the other hand, the filter can grasp the vehicle's status from received vehicle messages, such as DDS messages, and continue to confirm whether the conditions corresponding to the condition data are met.

[0292] On the other hand, when the conditions corresponding to the condition data are met, the gateway 840 can transmit the scene information to the state manager 820 and delete the filter.

[0293] On the other hand, the state manager 820 is able to perform node functions with the workload coordinator 870.

[0294] For example, the state manager 820 can be controlled to perform state transitions by managing the difference between the current state and the desired state.

[0295] On the other hand, the state manager 820 can request additional instructions from the workload coordinator 870 based on direct requests received from the server 830.

[0296] On the other hand, when the state manager 820 receives scene information that meets the conditions from the gateway 840, it can set the scene information as a key value and read the action data from the memory 850 based on the set key value.

[0297] On the other hand, action data can include data indicating what kind of workload container should be executed.

[0298] On the other hand, the state manager 820 can generate the required data based on the workload stored in the memory 850 by the parser 810, which is based on the action data read.

[0299] On the other hand, the status manager 820 can generate the necessary data based on the received workload and send start, update, rollback or terminate instructions to the workload coordinator 870.

[0300] On the other hand, the workload coordinator 870 can execute corresponding functions or instructions or transmit them to the service container 890 based on start, update, rollback or terminate instructions from the state manager 820.

[0301] On the other hand, the memory 850 can store key-value pairs that can be used in various services such as Kubernetes.

[0302] On the other hand, the memory 850 can use the parser 810 to store the data required for the workload to generate.

[0303] On the other hand, the memory 850 can store the parsing result data in the parser 810. At this time, the memory 850 can separate the parsing result data into condition data and action data for storage.

[0304] Figure 11a This is an example of an internal block diagram of a vehicle control device related to this disclosure.

[0305] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control device 100x related to this disclosure includes a central signal processing device 170x, a regional signal processing device 170zx, and a control device 1100.

[0306] The central signal processing apparatus 170x related to this disclosure may include a first processor 175x and a first memory 174x. The first processor (175x) is capable of executing an operating system 1105 and an HMI service 1102.

[0307] On the other hand, the central signal processing unit 170x and the regional signal processing unit 170zx are capable of performing Ethernet communication.

[0308] The area signal processing apparatus 170zx related to this disclosure may include a second processor 175zx and a second memory 174zx. The second processor 175zx is capable of executing domain 1108, operating system 1107, and CAN communication service 1106.

[0309] On the other hand, the area signal processing unit 170zx and the control unit 1100 are able to perform CAN communication.

[0310] The control device 1100 related to this disclosure may include a controller 1230 and a memory 1234. The controller 1230 is capable of executing an operating system 1236, actuator control 1235, and vehicle services 1105 based on control logic.

[0311] On the other hand, vehicle service 1105 may include first vehicle service 1106 and second vehicle service 1117.

[0312] The control device 1100 associated with this disclosure is capable of controlling a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of sensor devices SR1 to SRn based on actuator control 1235 or vehicle service 1105.

[0313] according to Figure 11a In order to control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn, the controller 1230 in the vehicle control device 1100 related to this disclosure outputs a control signal.

[0314] On the other hand, when it is necessary to update multiple actuators AT1 to ATn to a new service for control, it is necessary to update the data in memory 1234.

[0315] In particular, when it is necessary to update multiple actuators AT1 to ATn to a new service for control, it is necessary to update the data in memory 1234 corresponding to the first vehicle service 1106, the second vehicle service 1117, or the actuator control 1235.

[0316] However, since the control unit 1100 performs CAN communication with the area signal processing unit 170zx, it may not be easy to receive update data from the external server 400 via the area signal processing unit 170zx and the central signal processing unit 170x.

[0317] In addition, due to capacity limitations of the third memory 1113 within the control device 1100, storing new service data or updating data may not be easy.

[0318] Ultimately, according to Figure 11a The vehicle control device 100x related to this disclosure may be difficult to operate based on new or updated vehicle services, making it difficult to activate the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0319] Therefore, this disclosure proposes a solution capable of efficiently executing new or updated services. For this, refer to... Figure 12a The accompanying diagrams will be used for illustration.

[0320] Figure 11b for Figure 11a The diagram referenced in the description.

[0321] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the plurality of controllers ECUa to ECUc in the vehicle control device 100x related to this disclosure respectively receive switching signals from the plurality of switches SWa to SWc, and control each actuator ATa to ATc based on each switching signal.

[0322] This approach has the disadvantage that as the number of actuators ATa to ATc increases, the number of controllers ECUa to ECUc also increases.

[0323] Therefore, this disclosure proposes a scheme that utilizes a controller to efficiently control a plurality of actuators. For this, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12aThe accompanying diagrams will be used for illustration.

[0324] Figure 12a This is an example of an internal block diagram of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0325] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a vehicle control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first signal processing device 170; a second signal processing device 170z electrically connected to the first signal processing device 170; and a control device 1200, which is electrically connected to the second signal processing device 170z and includes a controller 1230 for controlling a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0326] The first signal processing device 170, which serves as a central signal processing device, includes a first processor 175 and a first memory 174.

[0327] The second signal processing device 170z, which is a regional signal processing device, includes a second processor 175z and a second memory 174z.

[0328] The first signal processing device 170 and the second signal processing device 170z are capable of performing TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) communication based on Ethernet communication.

[0329] The preferred communication method between the second signal processing device 170z and the control device 1200 is the same as that between the first signal processing device 170 and the second signal processing device 170z.

[0330] For example, the communication method between the first signal processing device 170 and the second signal processing device 170z can be TSN communication based on Ethernet communication.

[0331] On the other hand, the control device 1200 includes a memory 1234 in addition to a controller 1230.

[0332] On the other hand, the first processor 175 within the first signal processing apparatus 170 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of executing an operating system 1205 and of executing HMI service 1202 on the operating system 1205.

[0333] On the other hand, with Figure 11a Unlike other signal processing devices, the first processor 175 within the first signal processing device 170 is capable of executing services based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) or microservices based on microservice architecture (MSA) 1215 on the operating system 1205.

[0334] On the other hand, the first processor 175 within the first signal processing device 170 is capable of executing vehicle service 1210 based on control logic on the operating system 1205.

[0335] Vehicle service 1210 may include at least one vehicle service, with a first vehicle service 1211 and a second vehicle service 1212 illustrated in the figures.

[0336] On the other hand, the first vehicle service 1211 or the second vehicle service 1212 may include a service for controlling at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0337] On the other hand, the first vehicle service 1211 or the second vehicle service 1212 can be updated based on update data received from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0338] On the other hand, the first vehicle service 1211 or the second vehicle service 1212 can be a new vehicle service based on data received from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0339] On the other hand, the second processor 175z within the second signal processing apparatus 170z according to embodiments of the present disclosure is capable of executing the operating system 1205z and is capable of executing SOA-based services or microservices 1215z on the operating system 1205z.

[0340] On the other hand, the second processor 175z within the second signal processing device 170z is able to execute vehicle services 1210z on the operating system 1205z.

[0341] Vehicle service 1210z may include at least one vehicle service, and third vehicle service 1221, fourth vehicle service 1222, fifth vehicle service 1223 and sixth vehicle service 1224 are illustrated in the figures.

[0342] On the other hand, at least one of the vehicle services 1221 to 1224 may include a service for controlling at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0343] On the other hand, the third vehicle service 1221 or the fourth vehicle service 1222 can be a new vehicle service based on data received from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0344] On the other hand, the fifth vehicle service 1223 or the sixth vehicle service 1224 can be updated based on update data received from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0345] The control device 1200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a controller 1230 and a memory 1234.

[0346] The controller 1230 is capable of executing the operating system 1236 and is capable of executing actuator control 1235 on the operating system 1236.

[0347] On the other hand, with Figure 11a Unlike other controllers, controller 1230 may not perform vehicle services, but only perform actuator control 1235.

[0348] That is, vehicle services are preferably performed in the second signal processing device 170z rather than in the control device 1200.

[0349] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device 1200 can control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of sensor devices SR1 to SRn based on actuator control 1235.

[0350] At this time, the actuator control 1235 can output an action start signal, action stop signal, or action control signal for at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0351] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control device 1200 is capable of controlling at least one actuator among a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn based on sensor data from at least one of a plurality of sensor devices SR1 to SRn.

[0352] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second processor 175z controls the execution of the third vehicle service 1221, causing the controller 1230 in the control device 1200 to output an action start signal or an action stop signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0353] On the other hand, the first memory 174 in the first signal processing device 170 or the second memory 174z in the second signal processing device 170z can receive and store execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223, which is added or updated in addition to the third vehicle service 1221, from the external server 400 or the external electronic device 600.

[0354] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second processor 175z is controlled to execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 after the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223, which is added or updated in addition to the third vehicle service 1221, is stored in the first memory 174z in the first signal processing device 170 or the second memory 174z in the second signal processing device 170z. Based on the fifth vehicle service 1223, the controller 1230 in the control device 1200 outputs an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0355] At this time, the second processor 175z is controlled not to transmit the execution-related data of the additional or updated fifth vehicle service 1223 to the control device 1200.

[0356] That is, the control device 1200 does not perform vehicle services and does not receive data related to the performance of vehicle services.

[0357] In this way, the control device 1200 can be easily driven by not performing vehicle services, not receiving vehicle service execution-related data, and outputting an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0358] Furthermore, since the control device 1200 does not need to perform new services or service updates, it can reliably control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0359] On the other hand, new services or service updates can be executed efficiently in the second signal processing unit 170z of the non-control unit 1200. In particular, new services or updated services based on a service-oriented architecture can be executed efficiently in the second signal processing unit 170z.

[0360] On the other hand, the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 may include condition data and action data.

[0361] On the other hand, if the condition data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 is satisfied, the second processor 175z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223. Therefore, new or updated fifth vehicle services 1223 can be executed efficiently.

[0362] On the other hand, motion control signals may include motion speed control signals, motion intensity control signals, or motion temperature control signals.

[0363] For example, based on the fifth vehicle service 1223, the controller 1230 in the control device 1200 can output an action speed control signal, an action intensity control signal, or an action temperature control signal to at least one of a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0364] Therefore, based on the fifth vehicle service 1223, it is possible to control the operating speed, operating intensity, or operating temperature of at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn. Ultimately, it is possible to efficiently execute a new or updated fifth vehicle service 1223.

[0365] On the other hand, the fifth vehicle service 1223 may include microservices.

[0366] For example, if the conditional data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 is satisfied, the second processor 175z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 as a microservice. Thus, new or updated microservices can be executed efficiently.

[0367] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to perform the first vehicle service 1211 based on the received sensor data, and transmit the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 to the second processor 175z.

[0368] On the other hand, sensor data may include at least one of vehicle driving sensor data, passenger status sensor data, and vehicle surrounding sensor data.

[0369] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to execute the first vehicle service 1211 when the sensor data meets the conditions for executing the first vehicle service 1211.

[0370] On the other hand, the second processor 175z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211, thereby controlling the controller 1230.

[0371] Furthermore, based on the fifth vehicle service 1223, the controller 1230 within the control device 1200 can output an action speed control signal, an action intensity control signal, or an action temperature control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn. This enables the efficient execution of new or updated services.

[0372] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can control the execution of the first vehicle service 1211 based on the received first input signal and sensor data, and transmit the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 to the second processor 175z. The second processor 175z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211, thereby controlling the controller 1230. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently.

[0373] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to transmit the received first input signal to the second processor 175z, and the second processor 175z can control the controller 1230 by performing the third vehicle service 1221 based on the first input signal.

[0374] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn based on the third vehicle service 1221. As a result, the third vehicle service 1221 can be executed efficiently.

[0375] On the other hand, the second processor 175z can control the controller 1230 by performing the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the received sensor data. Thus, new or updated services can be performed efficiently based on the sensor data.

[0376] On the other hand, the second processor 175z can control the controller 1230 by performing the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the received first input signal and sensor data. Thus, new or updated services can be performed efficiently based on the first input signal and sensor data.

[0377] On the other hand, the second processor 175z can be controlled to execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 when the sensor data meets the conditions for executing the fifth vehicle service 1223. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the sensor data.

[0378] On the other hand, the second processor 175z can control the controller 1230 by performing the third vehicle service 1221 based on the first input signal. Thus, the third vehicle service 1221 can be performed efficiently.

[0379] On the other hand, the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 may include condition data and action data. At this time, at least one of the condition data and action data can be updated.

[0380] Therefore, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on updated data.

[0381] On the other hand, conditional data can include vehicle driving sensor data, passenger status sensor data, and vehicle surrounding sensor data. This allows for the efficient execution of new or updated services based on conditional data.

[0382] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control the second processor 175z to receive the operation status data of actuators AT1 to ATn when the second processor 175z is executing the fifth vehicle service 1223, and change the operation status of actuators AT1 to ATn based on the operation status data of the actuators. Therefore, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the operation status data of the actuators.

[0383] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control the actuator to start or stop its operation based on the third vehicle service 1221, and change the operating speed of the actuators AT1 to ATn based on the fifth vehicle service 1223. Thus, the fifth vehicle service 1223 can be executed efficiently.

[0384] On the other hand, at least one of the actuators AT1 to ATn in Figure 12 can move for the movement of the vehicle seat, and at least one of the sensors SR1 to SRn can be a camera inside the vehicle.

[0385] In this case, the controller 1230 can control the actuators AT1 to ATn for the movement of the vehicle seat based on the third vehicle service 1221 performed according to the input signal.

[0386] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control the actuators AT1 to ATn or the seat motor based on the fifth vehicle service 1223 executed according to the data from the in-vehicle camera, for any one of the following: the moving speed, moving adjustment, moving intensity, or automatic moving of the vehicle seat. Figure 15 (1451). Thus, the fifth vehicle service 1223 can be executed efficiently.

[0387] On the other hand, at least one of the actuators AT1 to ATn in Figure 12 can operate for temperature regulation inside the vehicle, and at least one of the sensors SR1 to SRn can be a camera inside the vehicle.

[0388] In this case, the controller 1230 can control the actuators AT1 to ATn for temperature regulation inside the vehicle based on the third vehicle service 1221 executed according to the input signal.

[0389] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control actuators AT1 to ATn for any one of temperature adjustment, airflow direction adjustment, or wind intensity adjustment inside the vehicle, based on the fifth vehicle service 1223 executed according to the data from the in-vehicle camera. Thus, the fifth vehicle service 1223 can be executed efficiently.

[0390] Figure 12b for Figure 12a The diagram referenced in the description.

[0391] Referring to the accompanying drawings, in a vehicle control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of controllers ECUa to ECUc respectively receive switching signals from a plurality of switches SWa to SWc, and control each actuator ATa to ATc based on each switching signal.

[0392] This approach has the disadvantage that as the number of actuators ATa to ATc increases, the number of controllers ECUa to ECUc also increases.

[0398] On the other hand, the first controller 1233 is capable of controlling a portion of the plurality of actuators AT1 to AT6, AT1 to AT3, to operate based on the received switch signal.

[0399] Therefore, with Figure 11b Unlike other actuators, the first controller 1233 can be used to perform composite driving of multiple actuators AT1 to AT3. Therefore, multiple actuators AT1 to AT3 can operate efficiently.

[0400] On the other hand, the second controller 1237 can control another part of the plurality of actuators AT1 to AT6, AT4 to AT3, to operate based on the received switching signal.

[0401] Therefore, with Figure 11b Unlike other actuators, the second controller 1237 can be used to perform composite driving of multiple actuators AT4 to AT6. Therefore, multiple actuators AT4 to AT6 can operate efficiently.

[0402] Ultimately, the first signal processing device 170 or the second signal processing device 170z can be used to efficiently execute composite services that drive a plurality of actuators.

[0429] On the other hand, with Figure 11a Unlike other controllers, the second controller 1330 may not perform vehicle services but only perform actuator control 1335.

[0430] That is, vehicle services are preferably performed in the third signal processing unit 170z2 rather than in the second control unit 1300.

[0431] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the second control device 1300 can control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn based on actuator control 1335.

[0432] At this time, the actuator control 1335 can output an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal for at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0433] Alternatively, the second control device 1300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn based on data received from a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn and actuator control 1335.

[0434] The second control device 1300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of controlling at least one of a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn based on sensor data from at least one of a plurality of sensor devices.

[0435] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third processor 175z2 controls the execution of the seventh vehicle service 1321, so that the second controller 1330 in the second control device 1300 outputs an action start signal or an action stop signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0436] On the other hand, the first memory 174 in the first signal processing device 170 or the second memory 174z2 in the third signal processing device 170z2 can receive and store execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323, which is added to or updated in addition to the seventh vehicle service 1321, from the external server 400 or the external electronic device 600.

[0437] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the third processor 175z2 is controlled to execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 after storing execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323, which is added to or updated in addition to the seventh vehicle service 1321, in the first memory 174 in the first signal processing device 170 or the second memory 174z2 in the third signal processing device 170, based on the ninth vehicle service 1323, cause the second controller 1330 in the second control device 1300 to output an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0438] At this time, the third processor 175z2 is controlled to not transmit additional or updated execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323 to the second control device 1300.

[0439] That is, the second control device 1300 does not perform vehicle services and does not receive vehicle service execution-related data.

[0440] In this way, the second control device 1300 can be easily driven by not performing vehicle services, not receiving vehicle service execution-related data, and outputting an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0441] Furthermore, since the second control device 1300 does not need to perform new services or service updates, it can reliably control a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0442] On the other hand, new services or service updates can be executed efficiently in the third signal processing unit 170z2, which is not the second control unit 1300. In particular, new services or updated services based on a service-oriented architecture can be executed efficiently in the third signal processing unit 170z2.

[0443] On the other hand, the execution-related data of the Ninth Vehicle Service 1323 may include condition data and action data.

[0444] On the other hand, if the condition data in the execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323 is satisfied, the third processor 175z2 can execute the ninth vehicle service 1323. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently execute new or updated ninth vehicle services 1323.

[0445] On the other hand, motion control signals may include motion speed control signals, motion intensity control signals, or motion temperature control signals.

[0446] For example, based on the ninth vehicle service 1323, the second controller 1330 in the second control device 1300 can output an action speed control signal, an action intensity control signal, or an action temperature control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0447] Therefore, the operating speed, operating intensity, or operating temperature of at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn can be controlled based on the ninth vehicle service 1323. Ultimately, a new or updated ninth vehicle service 1323 can be executed efficiently.

[0448] On the other hand, the ninth vehicle service 1323 may include microservices.

[0449] For example, if the conditional data in the execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323 is satisfied, the third processor 175z2 can execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 as a microservice. Thus, new or updated microservices can be executed efficiently.

[0450] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to perform the first vehicle service 1211 based on the received sensor data, and transmit the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 to the third processor 175z2.

[0451] On the other hand, sensor data may include at least one of vehicle driving sensor data, passenger status sensor data, and vehicle surrounding sensor data.

[0452] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to execute the first vehicle service 1211 when the sensor data meets the conditions for executing the first vehicle service 1211.

[0453] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 can execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211, thereby controlling the second controller 1330.

[0454] Then, based on the ninth vehicle service 1323, the second controller 1330 within the second control device 1300 can output an action speed control signal, an action intensity control signal, or an action temperature control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or the plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn. This enables the efficient execution of new or updated services.

[0455] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can control the execution of the first vehicle service 1211 based on the received first input signal and sensor data, and transmit the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 to the third processor 175z2. The third processor 175z2 can then execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211, thereby controlling the second controller 1330. This allows for the efficient execution of new or updated services.

[0456] On the other hand, the first processor 175 can be controlled to transmit the received first input signal to the third processor 175z2, and the third processor 175z2 can perform the seventh vehicle service 1321 based on the first input signal, thereby controlling the second controller 1330.

[0457] On the other hand, the second controller 1330 can control at least one of a plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn or a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn based on the seventh vehicle service 1321. Therefore, the seventh vehicle service 1321 can be executed efficiently.

[0458] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 can execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 based on the received sensor data, thereby controlling the second controller 1330. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on sensor data.

[0459] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 can execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 based on the received first input signal and sensor data, thereby controlling the second controller 1330. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the first input signal and sensor data.

[0460] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 can be controlled to execute the ninth vehicle service 1323 when the sensor data meets the conditions for executing the ninth vehicle service 1323. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the sensor data.

[0461] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 can execute the seventh vehicle service 1321 based on the first input signal, thereby controlling the second controller 1330. Thus, the seventh vehicle service 1321 can be executed efficiently.

[0462] On the other hand, the execution-related data of the ninth vehicle service 1323 may include condition data and action data. At this time, at least one of the condition data and action data can be updated.

[0463] Therefore, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on updated data.

[0464] On the other hand, conditional data can include vehicle driving sensor data, passenger status sensor data, and vehicle surrounding sensor data. This allows for the efficient execution of new or updated services based on conditional data.

[0465] On the other hand, the second controller 1330 can control the third processor 175z2 to receive the operation status data of actuators AT1 to ATn when the third processor 175z2 is executing the ninth vehicle service 1323, and change the operation status of actuators AT1 to ATn based on the operation status data of the actuators. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the operation status data of the actuators.

[0466] On the other hand, the second controller 1330 can control the third processor 175z2 to receive the operational status data of a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn when the third processor 175z2 executes the ninth vehicle service 1323, and change the operational status of the vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn based on the operational status data of the vehicle interior monitoring devices. Thus, new or updated services can be executed efficiently based on the operational status data of the vehicle interior monitoring devices.

[0467] On the other hand, the second controller 1330 can control the actuators or vehicle interior monitoring devices to start or stop their operation based on the seventh vehicle service 1321, and can change the operating speed of the actuators AT1 to ATn or the vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn based on the ninth vehicle service 1323. Thus, the ninth vehicle service 1323 can be executed efficiently.

[0468] Figures 13b to 13c for Figure 13a The diagram referenced in the description.

[0469] Figure 13b This illustrates the situation where item 1371 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

[0470] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the first signal processing device 170 or the third signal processing device 170z2 receives monitoring data from at least one of a plurality of vehicle interior monitoring devices DS1 to DSn, and based on this, can perform a vehicle service that can automatically adjust the opening interval of the windows even without additional input signals.

[0471] For example, the first processor 175 within the first signal processing device 170 is capable of executing the first vehicle service 1211, which is a new vehicle service received from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0472] The first vehicle service 1211 can be a vehicle service that can automatically adjust the movement of the windows based on monitoring data from the vehicle's internal monitoring device.

[0473] For example, the first processor 175 can be controlled to execute the first vehicle service 1211 based on monitoring data, provided that the conditions for executing the first vehicle service 1211 are met.

[0474] On the other hand, the first processor 175 in the first signal processing device 170 can control the execution of the first vehicle service 1211 and transmit the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 to the second processor 175z.

[0475] On the other hand, the second processor 175z within the second signal processing device 170z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211, thereby controlling the controller 1230.

[0476] On the other hand, the fifth vehicle service 1223 may be a vehicle service that can automatically adjust the movement of the windows based on monitoring data from the vehicle's internal monitoring device.

[0477] On the other hand, the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 may include condition data and action data.

[0478] For example, the second processor 175z in the second signal processing device 170z can determine whether the condition data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 is met based on the monitoring data, and if the condition data is met, it controls the controller 1230 in the control device 1200 based on the action data.

[0479] Correspondingly, the controller 1230 within the control device 1200 can control the windows WD among a plurality of windows WD1 to WDn that need to be controlled, and automatically adjust the opening interval of the windows WD in accordance with the size of the item 1371. As a result, vehicle service can be performed efficiently.

[0480] On the other hand, the second processor 175z is able to update the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223.

[0481] For example, if the vehicle driver is the first driver and the safety level is set to the first level, the second processor 175z can update the action data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 to the first value.

[0482] Therefore, the controller 1230 can control the opening interval of the window WD to become the first interval DTa based on the motion data of the first value when the item 1371 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

[0483] As another example, when the vehicle driver is the first driver and the safety level is set to the second level, which is higher than the first level, the second processor 175z can update the action data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 to the second value.

[0484] Therefore, the controller 1230 can control the opening interval of the window WD to be a second interval smaller than the first interval, based on the motion data of the second value, when the item 1371 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

[0485] Ultimately, the second processor 175z can control the window opening interval to be smaller as the safety level increases.

[0486] Figure 13b The example illustrates the situation where 1373 minors were exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

[0487] For example, if the vehicle passenger is the first passenger who is an adult, the second processor 175z can update the action data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 to a third value.

[0488] Therefore, the controller 1230 can control the opening interval of the window WD to become the third interval based on the motion data of the third value when the first passenger is exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

[0489] As another example, in the case where the vehicle passenger is a second passenger 1373 who is a minor, as shown in the attached figure, the second processor 175z is able to update the action data in the execution-related data of the fifth vehicle service 1223 to the fourth value.

[0490] Therefore, the controller 1230 can control the opening interval of the window WD to be a fourth interval DTb that is smaller than the third interval when the second passenger 1373 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, based on the action data of the fourth value.

[0491] Ultimately, the second processor 175z is able to control the window opening interval to change in accordance with the age of the passenger.

[0492] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control the actuators AT1 to ATn for locking or unlocking the windows based on the third vehicle service 1221 executed according to the input signal.

[0493] On the other hand, the controller 1230 can control the actuators AT1 to ATn or the windows WD1 to WDn based on the fifth vehicle service 1223, for any one of the following: window closing speed, opening adjustment, closing intensity, and automatic locking. The fifth vehicle service 1223 is executed based on camera data from an example of an in-vehicle monitoring device, namely an in-vehicle camera. Thus, the fifth vehicle service 1223 can be executed efficiently.

[0494] Figure 14a This is an example of an internal block diagram of a vehicle control device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0495] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control device 100c according to another embodiment of this disclosure, although similar to... Figure 13a The vehicle control device 100b is similar, but the controller 1200 can control the seat motors or lights HB1 to HBn of the non-window WD1 to WDn.

[0496] On the other hand, the controller 1200 can receive data from cameras or GPS HC1 to HCn, rather than from in-vehicle monitoring devices DS1 to DSn.

[0497] Alternatively, the second controller 1300 can control the camera or GPS HC1~HCn.

[0498] On the other hand, the first processor 175 in the vehicle control device 100c according to another embodiment of the present disclosure and Figure 13a Unlike other systems, it can execute the first service agent 800a on operating system 1205.

[0499] On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second processor 175z in the vehicle control device 100c and Figure 13a Unlike other systems, it can execute a second service agent 800z1 on the operating system 1205z.

[0500] On the other hand, the third processor 175z2 in the vehicle control device 100c according to another embodiment of this disclosure and Figure 13a Unlike the 1205z2 operating system, it can execute a third-party service agent 800z2.

[0501] On the other hand, the first service agent 800a, the second service agent 800z1, and the third service agent 800z2 can correspond to Figure 9 or Figure 10 Service agent 800.

[0502] Figures 14b to 14d for Figure 14a The diagram referenced in the description.

[0503] Figure 14b It could be an image showing the first pattern of light emitted from the lamp. Figure 14c It can be an image showing a second pattern of light output from a lamp.

[0504] according to Figure 14a The vehicle control device 100c, the first processor 175 or the second processor 175z or the third processor 175z2, can set the vehicle's beam pattern based on data from the camera or GPS HC1 to HCn, based on images including the road signs ahead or geographical information from the GPS.

[0505] On the other hand, the first processor 175, the second processor 175z, or the third processor 175z2 can receive execution-related data for vehicle services for vehicle light patterns from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600, based on geographical information from a road sign ahead or GPS, or generate execution-related data for vehicle services for vehicle light patterns on its own.

[0506] Specifically, the first service agent 800a, the second service agent 800z1, or the third service agent 800z2 can control the execution of relevant data for receiving vehicle services for vehicle light patterns and execute the relevant vehicle services.

[0507] For example, based on images including road signs ahead or location information from GPS, in the case where the vehicle is traveling in the UK, in order to... Figure 14b With such a first pattern of light output, the first processor 175 or the second processor 175z can control the controller 1200. Thus, the controller 1200 can control at least one of the lamps HB1 to HBn.

[0508] As another example, based on images including road signs ahead or location information from GPS, in the case where the vehicle is traveling in France in a different direction from the UK, in order to... Figure 14c With such a second pattern of light output, the first processor 175 or the second processor 175z can control the controller 1200. Thus, the controller 1200 can control at least one of the lamps HB1 to HBn.

[0509] In this way, to provide light pattern change services, multiple sensors or multiple actuators can be used, ultimately enabling the efficient provision of vehicle services that correspond to the driver's intentions.

[0510] Figure 14d Various examples of services are shown.

[0511] Referring to the attached diagram, the services may include seat control services, seat motor services, heating services, blower motor services, window control services, window motor services, anti-pinching services, vehicle interior monitoring (DIMS) services, interior monitoring camera services, or object detection services, etc.

[0512] On the other hand, the first processor 175 or the second processor 175z can perform vehicle services that combine multiple services.

[0513] For example, the first processor 175, the second processor 175z, or the third processor 175z2 can perform a first vehicle service including window control service, window motor service, and anti-pinching service.

[0514] The first vehicle service at this time can be downloaded from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600, or generated in the first processor 175, the second processor 175z, or the third processor 175z2 inside the vehicle.

[0515] On the other hand, the first service agent 800a, the second service agent 800z1, or the third service agent 800z2 can control the receipt of data related to the execution of the first vehicle service, which includes composite services, and execute the first vehicle service based thereon.

[0516] As another example, the first processor 175, the second processor 175z, or the third processor 175z2 can execute second vehicle services including in-vehicle monitoring (DIMS) services, in-vehicle monitoring camera services, and object detection services.

[0517] On the other hand, the first service agent 800a, the second service agent 800z1, or the third service agent 800z2 can control the receipt of data related to the execution of the second vehicle service, including the composite service, and execute the second vehicle service based thereon.

[0518] Figure 15 This is an example of an internal block diagram of a vehicle control device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0519] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a vehicle control device 100d according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a first signal processing device 170 as a central signal processing device, a second signal processing device 170z1 and a third signal processing device 170z2 as regional signal processing devices, and a control device 1430.

[0520] The first signal processing unit 170 is capable of executing in-vehicle monitoring (DIMS) services and seat control services on a first operating system, and executing seat control HMI services on a second operating system.

[0521] The second signal processing device 170z1 can perform TSN communication with the first signal processing device 170 and be electrically connected to the control device 1430, thereby controlling the control device 1430.

[0522] On the other hand, the second signal processing device 170z1 is capable of performing anti-pinch service and controlling the control device 1430 based on the anti-pinch service.

[0523] The control device 1430 is capable of performing motor control 1435 based on the anti-pinch service.

[0524] For example, the control device 1430 can output a PWM signal to the seat motor 1451, a GPIO signal to the window switch 1453, and a PWM signal to the window motor 1455.

[0525] On the other hand, the control device 1430 can receive the ADC signal from the window motor 1455 and output the PWM signal to the window motor 1455 based on the ADC signal.

[0526] Therefore, the control device 1430 can be used to efficiently perform anti-pinch services corresponding to the combined control of seats, windows, etc.

[0527] The third signal processing device 170z2 is capable of performing TSN communication with the second signal processing device 170z1 and controlling the seat control display 180n.

[0528] At this time, the third signal processing device 170z2 can be controlled to display predetermined information or images on the seat control display 180n based on Ethernet communication. Alternatively, the seat control display 180n can be a network display.

[0529] Figure 16 Here is an example of a flowchart illustrating the operation of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0530] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of receiving release information S1510 of a new product (artifact) from an external server 400 or an external electronic device 600.

[0531] For example, the first signal processing unit 170 within the vehicle control unit 100 can receive information about the release of new products and update existing vehicle service execution-related data based on the information about the release of new products.

[0532] As another example, the first signal processing device 170 within the vehicle control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is able to receive vehicle service execution-related data as update data based on new product release information.

[0533] On the other hand, the execution-related data of vehicle services can correspond to YAML file data.

[0534] Next, the first signal processing unit 170 within the vehicle control unit 100 can control the execution of related services S1512 for nodes that meet the rules in the execution related data of updated vehicle services or updated YAML file data.

[0535] For example, the first signal processing device 170 can control the execution of a first vehicle service or a vehicle service corresponding to the first vehicle service to perform related data or updated YAML file data based on updated vehicle service execution.

[0536] For example, the second signal processing device 170z can execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 based on the execution information of the first vehicle service 1211 in the first signal processing device 170, thereby controlling the controller 1230.

[0537] Therefore, the controller 1230 can output an action start signal, an action stop signal, or an action control signal to at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn.

[0538] On the other hand, the first signal processing device 170 is capable of executing service agent 800a, and the state manager 820 within service agent 800a is capable of confirming the state S1514 of the container related to the executed vehicle service.

[0539] Next, the state manager 820 within the service agent 800 can control whether the node that satisfies the rules in the updated vehicle service execution related data or updated YAML file data meets the condition data S1515. If it does, the vehicle service S1517 continues to be executed at that node.

[0540] For example, if the execution-related data of the updated vehicle service or the condition data in the updated YAML file data continues to be satisfied, the first signal processing device 170 can continue to execute the fifth vehicle service 1223 to control the controller 1230.

[0541] On the other hand, in step S1515, if a node that satisfies the rules in the updated vehicle service execution-related data or the updated YAML file data does not satisfy the condition data, it is possible to control the execution of the vehicle service on other nodes that meet the execution conditions S1520.

[0542] For example, the first signal processing device 170 can utilize Figure 14a The third signal processing device 170z2 controls the second controller 1330 within the second control device 1300, thereby controlling at least one of the plurality of actuators AT1 to ATn. This enables efficient vehicle service.

[0543] Next, the state manager 820 within the service agent 800a is able to update the container state information S1522 related to the vehicle service being executed on other nodes.

[0544] On the other hand, the first signal processing device 170 is able to update the condition data or action data related to the execution of vehicle services.

[0545] For example, the first signal processing device 170 can use conditional data added to the existing vehicle service to update the execution-related data of the vehicle service.

[0546] Specifically, the first signal processing device 170 can control the vehicle service to: open all windows when the vehicle departs and close the windows when the vehicle speed is 50 km / h, thereby opening only half of the windows when the vehicle speed is between 50 km / h and 80 km / h, and closing the windows when the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km / h.

[0547] In this way, vehicle services can be easily updated by adding a portion of conditional data, etc.

[0548] Similarly, the first signal processing device 170 can use motion data added to the existing vehicle service to update the execution-related data of the vehicle service.

[0549] For example, the first signal processing device 170 can combine window control with temperature control by utilizing additional motion data in the vehicle service for window control.

[0550] This allows for easy updates to vehicle services by adding a portion of motion data.

[0551] Figures 17a to 21b for Figure 16 The diagram referenced in the description.

[0552] Figure 17a An example of an anti-pinch device in a vehicle control device related to this disclosure is illustrated.

[0553] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the first signal processing unit 170x1 in the vehicle control device related to this disclosure is capable of performing CAN communication with the second signal processing unit 170x2, and the second signal processing unit 170x2 is capable of performing CAN communication with the control unit 1610 and the drive unit 1620.

[0554] On the other hand, the control device 1610 can control the window switch 1613, seat switch 1614, seat switch 1616, and seat switch 1617 based on the switch logic 1612.

[0555] On the other hand, the drive unit 1620 can perform multiple vehicle services 1621, 1622, and 1623 within the anti-pinch service, and control multiple motors 1631 to 1634 based on the motor control 1625.

[0556] On the other hand, the drive unit 1620 can perform current detection 1627 based on the ADC signals from the plurality of motors 1631 to 1634 as detection signals, and control the plurality of motors 1631 to 1634 based on the current detection 1627.

[0557] According to the vehicle control device related to this disclosure, since multiple vehicle services 1621, 1622, 1623 are performed within the drive unit 1620, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to update or add new functions.
