Software management device, software management system, software management method, and program

Abstract

Provided are a software management device, a software management system, a software management method, and a program recording medium that can facilitate appropriate setting of parameter sets for a vehicle or the like. The software management device comprises: a management means for managing a parameter set that is applied to a computer program installed in a vehicle being managed; an assessment means for assessing whether the parameter set that is applied to the vehicle needs to be changed when the computer program installed in the vehicle is updated; and a transmission means for transmitting an appropriate parameter set to the vehicle for which, as a result of the assessment, it was assessed that the parameter set needs to be changed.

Claims

1. A management means for managing the parameter set applied to the computer program installed in a development prototype vehicle equipped with a test unit, A determination means for determining whether or not it is necessary to change the parameter set applied to the prototype vehicle when the computer program installed in the prototype vehicle is updated, A transmission means for transmitting an appropriate parameter set to a development prototype vehicle that, as a result of the above determination, is determined to require a change in the parameter set. A software management device comprising, The system includes an inspection means for checking the changes in the parameter set transmitted from the aforementioned prototype development vehicle, If the inspection is passed, the parameter set is transmitted to other development prototype vehicles to which the parameter set should be applied. Software management device.

2. The software management device according to claim 1, wherein the determination means determines whether or not it is necessary to change the parameter set applied to the prototype vehicle based on the updated version of the computer program.

3. The software management device according to claim 2, wherein the determination means further determines whether it is necessary to change the parameter set applied to the prototype vehicle based on at least one of the grade and specifications of the prototype vehicle.

4. A software management system comprising a software management device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, and a terminal capable of viewing the contents registered in the management means.

5. A computer that has access to a management means that controls the parameter set applied to a computer program installed in a development prototype vehicle equipped with a test unit, When the computer program installed in the aforementioned prototype vehicle is updated, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to change the parameter set applied to the aforementioned prototype vehicle. Based on the above determination, if it is determined that a change in the parameter set is necessary for a development prototype vehicle, the appropriate parameter set will be sent. A software management method, Furthermore, the changes to the parameter set transmitted from the prototype vehicle are inspected, If the inspection is passed, the parameter set is transmitted to other development prototype vehicles to which the parameter set should be applied. Software management methods.

6. A computer with access to a management system that manages the parameter set applied to the computer program installed in a development prototype vehicle equipped with a test unit, When the computer program installed in the aforementioned prototype vehicle is updated, a process is performed to determine whether or not it is necessary to change the parameter set applied to the aforementioned prototype vehicle. Based on the results of the above determination, a process is performed to send an appropriate parameter set to the development prototype vehicle for which it has been determined that a change in the parameter set is necessary. A program that executes, Furthermore, the computer, A process for checking the changes in the parameter set transmitted from the aforementioned development prototype vehicle, If the inspection is passed, the process of transmitting the parameter set to other development prototype vehicles to which the parameter set should be applied, A program that executes the command.
