    Abstract: A vehicle information communication system includes a center apparatus and a vehicle apparatus that includes a group of electronic control units (ECUs) and that sends vehicle configuration information including configuration information on the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the center apparatus via wireless communications. The center apparatus performs a first determination of whether the vehicle configuration information received from the vehicle apparatus matches approved-configuration information registered in an approved-configuration database, and performs a second determination of whether software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle exists in an update database. When both the first and second determinations are true, the center apparatus sends the software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the vehicle apparatus via the wireless communications.

    Abstract: A center device is provided that manages data to be written to electronic control units mounted on a vehicle. The center device includes an update data storage unit that stores update data for a data update target device among the electronic control units. The center device distributes the update data to the vehicle. The center device includes an individual vehicle configuration information storage unit that stores identification information of target vehicles targeted for update using the update data, and update status information regarding update completion status and update-in-progress status acquired as update status from target vehicles. The center device manages the update status information of the target vehicles in a statistically tabulatable manner on basis of the update status information.

    Abstract: In a vehicle electronic control system, a vehicle master device includes a vehicle power determination unit that is configured to determine a vehicle power is on, a rewrite-in-progress determination unit that is configured to determine whether rewriting of a program is in progress, a first self-retention power determination unit that is configured to determine whether it is necessary to self-retain power in the vehicle slave device when the vehicle power determination unit determines that the vehicle power is off and when the rewrite-in-progress determination unit determines that rewriting of the program is in progress, and a self-retention power instruction unit that is configured to instruct the vehicle slave device to enable the first self-retention power circuit when the first self-retention power determination unit determines that it is necessary to self-retain the power in the vehicle slave device. The vehicle slave device is configured to enable the first self-retention power circuit when the vehicle master device instructs to enable the first self-retention power circuit.

    Abstract: A record control apparatus controls record of a data item in one or more record sections. The record control apparatus includes: a data acquisition section that acquires the data item having multiple types; a data storage section that stores in the record section, the one or more data items matching a record condition prepared in advance among the acquired data item having multiple types; and a condition change section that defines the record condition as an old record condition, and sets so that the data storage section utilizes a new record condition in place of the old record condition when receiving the new record condition different from the old condition from an outside.

    Abstract: A service cooperation system enables a use of a function provided by an in-vehicle apparatus or an external apparatus as a service. The service cooperation system for the vehicle includes a service interface, a local service bus, a service bus, and an integrated application. The service interface of a subject apparatus provides the service generated in the subject apparatus to a different apparatus. The local service bus transmits and receives a message between the service interface of the subject apparatus and the service interface of the different apparatus. The service bus is virtually configured by a connection of the local service bus of the subject apparatus and the local service bus of the different apparatus. The integrated application functions as the application and enables a cooperated use of an in-vehicle service and an external service through the service bus.

    Abstract: A vehicular ECU (electronic control unit) is any one of a plurality of vehicular ECUs connected to an in-vehicle network in a vehicle and includes: a service interface, a service bus, and a service manager. The service interface issues a request of service that uses a function installed in a different vehicular ECU based on a request from the application, and makes the application generate a service as a response to a request of service from the different vehicular ECU. The service bus transmits and receives a message corresponding to a request of service and a response by using a predetermined protocol between the service interfaces of the vehicular ECU and the different vehicular ECU. The service manager achieves the service to be dynamically and interoperably used by managing a position of the service.
