Abstract
A server is configured to send data for updating software on a vehicle control device through wireless communication. The server includes: a memory storing a program; and a processor configured to execute the program, the processor being configured to set first data and second data, the first data being data to be displayed on an in-vehicle display in order to obtain user's approval to the software update, the second data being data to be displayed on user equipment in order to obtain the user's approval to the software update, and the first data having higher information granularity than the second data.
Claims8
A server configured to send data for updating software on a vehicle control device through wireless communication, the server comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the program, the processor being configured to set first data and second data, the first data being data to be displayed on an in-vehicle display in order to obtain user's approval of a software license related to a software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user, the second data being data to be displayed on user equipment in order to obtain the user's approval of the software license related to the software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user, and the first data having higher information granularity than the second data;
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- transmit the first data to the vehicle mounted with the in-vehicle display, and
- transmit the second data to the user equipment that is different from the in-vehicle display.
A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by a computer and that cause the computer to perform functions for updating software on a vehicle control device through wireless communication, the functions comprising:
- setting first data and second data, the first data being data to be displayed on an in-vehicle display in order to obtain user's approval of a software license related to a software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user, and the second data being data to be displayed on user equipment in order to obtain the user's approval of the software license related to the software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user;
- causing either or both of the in-vehicle display and the user equipment to display corresponding data out of the first data and the second data, the first data having higher information granularity than the second data;
- transmitting the first data to the vehicle mounted with the in-vehicle display, and
- transmitting the second data to the user equipment that is different from the in-vehicle display.
A software update method for updating software on a vehicle control device through wireless communication, the software update method comprising:
- setting first data and second data, the first data being data to be displayed on an in-vehicle display in order to obtain user's approval of a software license related to a software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user, and the second data being data to be displayed on user equipment in order to obtain the user's approval of the software license related to the software update and license information of the software license for approval by the user;
- causing either or both of the in-vehicle display and the user equipment to display corresponding data out of the first data and the second data, the first data having higher information granularity than the second data;
- transmitting the first data to the vehicle mounted with the in-vehicle display, and
- transmitting the second data to the user equipment that is different from the in-vehicle display.
