Abstract: A vehicle management ECU comprises a diagnosis section for diagnosing electronic control units that are to be diagnosed according to a diagnosis scenario defined by a diagnosis application, and a diagnosis scenario determination section for determining whether a diagnosis scenario used for diagnosis by the diagnosis section was appropriate. If the diagnosis scenario determination section specifies that the diagnosis scenario used for the present diagnosis has not been appropriate, the diagnosis section carries out diagnosis according to a diagnosis scenario defined by a new diagnosis application different from the present diagnosis application.

Abstract: In an ECU reprogram data DB of a center device, data of an update program for a target ECU for a program update among a plurality of EUCs mounted in a vehicle is stored. In a configuration information DB, an “ECU ID” corresponding to each ECU and vehicle-related information such as an “ECU SW ID” for each application program stored in the ECU are stored along with the vehicle type. An ECU metadata database stores update data-related information pertaining to update data and attributes of the rewrite target ECU. A specification data generation unit generates specification data, based on the information stored in the configuration information database and the information stored in the ECU metadata database, to be transmitted to the vehicle together with update data to be written in the target ECU such that the data includes information related to the type, attributes, and update data for the target ECU and information indicative of a rewrite environment related to the data update.

Abstract: A center device is configured to acquire software information of an ECU from a vehicle side, determine whether availability of update data for a vehicle based on the acquired software information, and transmit the campaign information to a master device when a vehicle condition is determined to be a contion suitable for an update. The master device is configured to download a distribution package from the center device when the vehicle condition is determined to be a condition in which the distribution package is downloadable.

Abstract: A vehicle information communication system includes a vehicle device and a center device. The center device includes a storage unit, a center computer, and a center-device communication unit. The storage unit stores memory structure information for each of the ECUs. The memory structure information indicates whether a corresponding memory has a memory structure that supports Read While Write (RWW) operation defined as having a plurality of physically independent memory regions. The center computer is programmed to generate specification data including the memory structure information for each of the at least one target ECUs. The vehicle device includes a vehicle computer. The vehicle computer is programmed to perform the program data rewrites of the at least one target ECU according to the memory structure information included in the specification data.

Abstract: A vehicle information communication system including a center apparatus and a vehicle apparatus is provided. The vehicle apparatus is mounted in a vehicle and includes electronic control units (ECUs) each associated with a respective ECU software identifier (SWID). The vehicle apparatus send the ECU SWIDs of the ECUs to the center apparatus via the wireless communications. When all of the ECU SWIDs received from the vehicle apparatus are included in any one of approved ECU SWID combinations and software update data exists for at least one of the ECUs, the center apparatus sends the software update data to the vehicle apparatus via the wireless communications. The vehicle apparatus performs ECU software update based on the software update data sent from the center apparatus.
