Abstract
A method of controlling a vehicle for stably performing over-the-air (OTA) software updates by fully considering a power supply status of the vehicle includes: determining a power supply status of the vehicle; determining whether to enable supply of an electric power higher than a value required to perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the vehicle based on the power supply status of the vehicle; and performing the OTA software update of the vehicle upon determining that the supply of the electric power higher than the value required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is possible.
Claims18
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a power supply status of the vehicle;
- determining whether to enable supply of an electric power higher than a value required to perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the vehicle based on the power supply status of the vehicle;
- and
- performing the OTA software update of the vehicle upon determining that the supply of the electric power higher than the value required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is possible,
- wherein the performing of the OTA software update of the vehicle includes allowing the OTA software update of the vehicle only when forced execution of the OTA software update is selected upon determining that the electric power required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is obtained but supply of an additional electric power higher by a predetermined level is impossible.

A vehicle comprising:
- an alternator configured to generate electric power;
- a battery configured to store the electric power;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a power supply status of the vehicle, determine whether to enable supply of an electric power higher than a value required to perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the vehicle based on the power supply status of the vehicle, and perform the OTA software update of the vehicle upon determining that the supply of the electric power higher than the value required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is possible,
- wherein the OTA software update of the vehicle is performed by allowing the OTA software update of the vehicle only when forced execution of the OTA software update is selected upon determining that the electric power required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is obtained but supply of an additional electric power higher by a predetermined level is impossible.

A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a power supply status of the vehicle;
- determining whether to enable supply of an electric power higher than a value required to perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the vehicle based on the power supply status of the vehicle;
- allowing an automatic OTA software update of the vehicle upon determining that supply of an additional electric power higher than a value required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle by a predetermined level;
- allowing the OTA software update of the vehicle only when forced execution of the OTA software update is selected upon determining that the electric power required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is obtained but the supply of the additional electric power higher by the predetermined level is impossible;
- and
- not performing the OTA software update of the vehicle upon determining that the supply of the electric power required to perform the OTA software update of the vehicle is impossible.
