An automotive over-the-air (OTA) update control device, comprising:
- a first communication device configured to provide a communication interface with a data server;
- a second communication device configured to provide a communication interface between vehicles;
- and
- a controller configured to request cluster update from the data server, and allow the first communication device and the second communication device to transmit received update data to a vehicle located nearby while receiving a plurality of pieces of update data for a first Electronic Control Unit (ECU) from the data server and to receive a plurality of pieces of update data for a second ECU from the vehicle located nearby, wherein the controller is configured to sequentially transmit the received update data to the vehicle located nearby.
An automotive over-the-air (OTA) update control method, the method comprising:
- requesting, by a controller via a first communication device, cluster update from a data server;
- transmitting, by the controller via a second communication device, received update data to a vehicle located nearby while receiving, by the controller via the first communication device, a plurality of pieces of update data for a first Electronic Control Unit (ECU) from the data server;
- and
- receiving, by the controller via the second communication device, a plurality of pieces of update data for a second ECU from the vehicle located nearby,
- wherein the method includes sequentially transmitting, by the controller via the second communication device, the received update data to the vehicle located nearby.
