Abstract
Provided is a control apparatus for controlling update of a control program of an on-vehicle control device configured to control a target device installed on a vehicle. The control apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a use pattern of the control function of the on-vehicle control device during traveling of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to determine, based on the acquired use pattern, whether or not the control program regarding the on-vehicle control device is updatable.
Claims8
A control apparatus configured to determine whether or not a control program is updatable, the control program being a control program of plural types of on-vehicle control devices configured to control a target device installed on a vehicle, the control apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a use possibility of a control function of the on-vehicle control device during traveling of the vehicle for each corresponding the on-vehicle control device;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine, based on a level of the acquired use possibility, whether or not the control program regarding the on-vehicle control device is updatable.
(canceled)
A method for determining whether or not a control program is updatable, the control program being a control program of plural types of on-vehicle control devices configured to control a target device installed on a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a use possibility of a control function of the on-vehicle control device during traveling of the vehicle for each corresponding the on-vehicle control device;
- and
- determining, based on a level of the acquired use possibility, whether or not the control program regarding the on-vehicle control device is updatable.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to function as a control apparatus configured to determine whether or not a control program is updatable, the control program being a control program of plural types of on-vehicle control devices configured to control a target device installed on a vehicle, the computer program causing the computer to function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a use possibility of a control function of the on-vehicle control device during traveling of the vehicle for each corresponding the on-vehicle control device;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine, based on a level of the acquired use possibility, whether or not the control program regarding the on-vehicle control device is updatable.
