Device and method for collecting, analyzing and integrating log data of in-vehicle infotainment systems

An electronic device for collecting, analyzing and integrating log data of an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to, while being connected to the memory,
• identify model information of a vehicle to be a subject of digital forensics, hardware information and software information related to the IVI system of the vehicle;
• collect target data for the digital forensics based on the model information, the hardware information and the software information;
• and
• store the collected target data in an integrated database,
• wherein the target data is collected by operating the IVI system in an Engineering mode or a Dealer mode based on the model information, the hardware information, and the software information, and according to a type of menu provided by the IVI system, or
• wherein the target data is collected by entering an Android Debug Bridge Connect Type (ADB Connect Type) menu and switching the IVI system to a debugging mode when the Android Debug Bridge Connect Type menu is provided in the IVI system and based on data stored in ring buffers of the IVI system or by rooting the IVI system, under the debugging mode.
