Abstract
A device and a method for controlling an update of a vehicle are configured to control an over-the-air (OTA) update of the vehicle. The device is disposed in the vehicle performing the OTA update to obtain information on a state of charge of a battery of the vehicle, transmit information on the OTA update to an update target device, and adjust a transmission time interval between data of the information on the OTA update transmitted to the update target device. The present disclosure can prevent a situation in which starting of the vehicle is impossible because of a lack of a capacity of the battery after performing the OTA update.
Claims18
A device for controlling an update of a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a sensor disposed in the vehicle performing an over-the-air (OTA) update, wherein the sensor obtains information on a state of charge of a battery of the vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- transmit information on the OTA update to an update target device;
- and
- adjust a transmission time interval between data of the information on the OTA update transmitted to the update target device,
- wherein the controller controls controller area network (CAN) communication, CAN with flexible data rate (CAN-FD) communication, and Ethernet communication inside the vehicle to transmit the information on the OTA update to the update target device,
- wherein the controller is configured to reduce the transmission time interval as the state of charge of the battery is reduced, and
- wherein the controller is configured to perform the OTA update upon determining that starting of the vehicle is possible after the OTA update is performed with the reduced transmission time interval.
A method for controlling an update of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a sensor disposed in the vehicle performing an over-the-air (OTA) update, information on a state of charge of a battery of the vehicle;
- and
- transmitting, by a controller, information on the OTA update to an update target device, and adjusting a transmission time interval between data of the information on the OTA update transmitted to the update target device;
- wherein the controller controls controller area network (CAN) communication, CAN with flexible data rate (CAN-FD) communication, and Ethernet communication inside the vehicle to transmit the information on the OTA update to the update target device,
- wherein the adjusting, by the controller, of the transmission time interval between the data of the information on the OTA update transmitted to the update target device includes:
- reducing, by the controller, the transmission time interval as the state of charge of the battery is reduced, and
- wherein the controller is configured to perform the OTA update upon determining that starting of the vehicle is possible after the OTA update is performed with the reduced transmission time interval.
