Control system, moving object, control method, and computer-readable storage medium

A control system comprising:

• a first moving object control unit and a second moving object control unit configured to control a moving object;
• an update control unit configured to control reception, from an external apparatus, of a first update program for updating the first moving object control unit and a second update program for updating the second moving object control unit to control updates of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit by the first update program and the second update program;
• and
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire update information indicating an amount of electric power needed to update the first moving object control unit by the first update program and an amount of electric power needed to update the second moving object control unit by the second update program,
• wherein the update control unit is configured to select, based on the update information, a moving object control unit to be updated among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit,
• the acquisition unit is configured to acquire importance information indicating importance of an update of each of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, and
• the control system further comprises a notification control unit configured to cause user notification regarding auxiliary charge of the battery to be performed in a case where priority of an update of a moving object control unit, among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, that was not selected by the update control unit as a moving object control unit to be updated is higher than a predetermined value.

A control system comprising:

• a first moving object control unit and a second moving object control unit configured to control a moving object;
• an update control unit configured to control reception, from an external apparatus, of a first update program for updating the first moving object control unit and a second update program for updating the second moving object control unit to control updates of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit by the first update program and the second update program;
• and
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire update information indicating an amount of electric power needed to update the first moving object control unit by the first update program and an amount of electric power needed to update the second moving object control unit by the second update program,
• wherein the update control unit is configured to select, based on the update information, a moving object control unit to be updated among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, and
• the update control unit is configured to calculate, based on the update information, a time needed to update the first moving object control unit and a time needed to update the second moving object control unit, and select a moving object control unit to be updated among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit such that the time needed to update the moving object control unit to be updated is less than or equal to an allowed time for which the update by the update control unit is allowed to be performed.

A control method comprising:

• controlling reception, from an external apparatus, of a first update program for updating a first moving object control unit configured to control a moving object and a second update program for updating a second moving object control unit configured to control the moving object;
• acquiring update information including an amount of electric power needed to update the first moving object control unit by the first update program and an amount of electric power needed to update the second moving object control unit by the second update program, the update information being sent from the external apparatus;
• selecting, based on the update information, a moving object control unit to be updated among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit;
• and
• controlling an update of the selected moving object control unit, wherein the control method further comprises
• acquiring importance information indicating importance of an update of each of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, and
• causing user notification regarding auxiliary charge of the battery to be performed in a case where priority of an update of a moving object control unit, among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, that was not selected as a moving object control unit to be updated is higher than a predetermined value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored there on a program that causes a computer to function as:

• a first moving object control unit and a second moving object control unit configured to control a moving object;
• an update control unit configured to control reception, from an external apparatus, of a first update program for updating the first moving object control unit and a second update program for updating the second moving object control unit to control updates of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit by the first update program and the second update program;
• and
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire update information including an amount of electric power needed to update the first moving object control unit by the first update program and an amount of electric power needed to update the second moving object control unit by the second update program,
• wherein the acquisition unit is configured to acquire the update information sent from the external apparatus, and
• wherein the program causes the update control unit to select a moving object control unit to be updated among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit based on the update information,
• the acquisition unit is configured to acquire importance information indicating importance of an update of each of the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, and
• the program further causes the computer to function as a notification control unit configured to cause user notification regarding auxiliary charge of the battery to be performed in a case where priority of an update of a moving object control unit, among the first moving object control unit and the second moving object control unit, that was not selected by the update control unit as a moving object control unit to be updated is higher than a predetermined value.
