Abstract
Individual ECUs are mounted on a vehicle and execute processing using power supplied from one of a main power storage device and a sub power storage device. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processing unit of each individual ECU determines whether the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted. When it is determined that the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted, the processing unit of each individual ECU executes a process that corresponds to a degree of deterioration of the sub power storage device out of a plurality of processes.
Claims14
A processing apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle and executes processing using electrical power supplied from one of a first power storage device and a second power storage device,
- the processing apparatus comprising a processing unit for executing processing,
- wherein each of a plurality of processes executed by the processing unit when a predetermined condition is satisfied is decided in advance in association with a degree of deterioration of the second power storage device, and
- the processing unit
- determines, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, and
- executes, when it is determined that the supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, a vehicle process corresponding to the degree of deterioration of the second power storage device, out of the plurality of vehicle processes, wherein the degree of deterioration corresponds to a reduction in a capacitance of the second power storage device.
A processing system comprising a first processing apparatus and a second processing apparatus that are mounted on a vehicle and execute processing using electrical power supplied from one of a first power storage device and a second power storage device,
- wherein the first processing apparatus and the second processing apparatus respectively include a first processing unit and a second processing unit for executing processing,
- the first processing unit executes processing according to an instruction from the second processing unit,
- each of a plurality of first processes executed by the first processing unit when a predetermined condition is satisfied is decided in advance in association with a degree of deterioration of the second power storage device, wherein the degree of deterioration corresponds to a reduction in a capacitance of the second power storage device,
- each of a plurality of second processes executed by the second processing unit when the predetermined condition is satisfied is decided in advance in association with the degree of deterioration of the second power storage device,
- the first processing unit
- determines, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, and
- executes, when it has been determined that the supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, a first process corresponding to the degree of deterioration of the second power storage device out of the plurality of first processes, and
- the second processing unit
- determines, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, whether supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, and
- executes, when it has been determined that the supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, a second process corresponding to the degree of deterioration of the second power storage device out of the plurality of second processes.
A processing method that executes processing using electrical power supplied from one of a first power storage device and a second power storage device,
- wherein each of a plurality of processes executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied is decided in advance in association with a degree of deterioration of the second power storage device, and
- the processing method comprises a computer executing:
- a step of determining whether supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, and
- a step of executing, when it has been determined that the supplying of power by the first power storage device has been interrupted, a process corresponding to a degree of deterioration of the second power storage device out of the plurality of processes, wherein the degree of deterioration corresponds to a reduction in a capacitance of the second power storage device.
