and a proxy server configured to: relay communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server; perform relay such that at least one application of the at least one processor directly receives information on the software update from the OTA server without storing the information in the proxy server when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server; and control the at least one processor. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the proxy server is further configured to: receive a communication request from at least one application of the at least one processor; and establish communication with the at least one application in response to the communication request. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the proxy server is further configured to select a network provider for establishing the communication with the OTA server based on a region where the vehicle is located. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the proxy server is further configured to: set a communication policy based on the region where the vehicle is located; and establish the communication with the OTA server through the network provider based on the communication policy. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the proxy server is further configured to: obtain user information and version information from at least one application of the at least one processor and authenticate the user information and the version information; and transmit the authenticated user information and the authenticated version information to the OTA server. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the proxy server is further configured to block access to the vehicle from outside when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the proxy server is further configured to identify a usage amount of wireless data or a speed of the wireless data, and to perform bandwidth throttling and flow control based on the usage amount of the wireless data or the speed of the wireless data when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server. ### Claim 8 A method for operating a device for managing update of a vehicle, the method comprising: establishing communication with at least one processor of the vehicle; establishing communication with an OTA server for software update of the at least one processor; and relaying communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server, wherein the relaying communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server includes performing relay such that at least one application of the at least one processor directly receives information on the software update from the OTA server without storing the information in a proxy server. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the establishing communication with at least one processor of the vehicle includes: receiving a communication request from at least one application of the at least one processor; and establishing communication with the at least one application in response to the communication request. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the establishing communication with an OTA server for software update of the at least one processor includes selecting a network provider for establishing the communication with the OTA server based on a region where the vehicle is located. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the establishing communication with an OTA server for software update of the at least one processor includes: setting a communication policy based on the region where the vehicle is located; and establishing the communication with the OTA server through the network provider based on the communication policy. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: obtaining user information and version information from at least one application of the at least one processor; authenticating the user information and the version information; and transmitting the authenticated user information and the authenticated version information to the OTA server. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the relaying communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server includes blocking access to the vehicle from outside when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the relaying communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server includes identifying a usage amount of wireless data or a speed of the wireless data, and performing bandwidth throttling and flow control based on the usage amount of the wireless data or the speed of the wireless data when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server. ### Claim 15 A vehicle comprising: at least one processor of the vehicle; and an integrated processor configured to: communicate with the at least one processor of the vehicle; communicate with an OTA server for software update of the at least one processor; relay communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server; perform relay such that at least one application of the at least one processor directly receives information on the software update from the OTA server without storing the information in a proxy server when relaying the communication between the at least one processor and the OTA server; and control the at least one processor. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The vehicle of claim 15, wherein the integrated processor is further configured to: authenticate user information and version information obtained from the at least one processor; and transmit the authenticated user information and the authenticated version information to the OTA server. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The vehicle of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor includes at least one processor for performing an autonomous driving function of the vehicle, and wherein the integrated processor is further configured to manage the autonomous driving function of the at least one processor for performing the autonomous driving function of the vehicle in an integrated manner.
