Abstract
An in-vehicle system enables retrofitted hardware to be used in cases in which predetermined hardware has been connected to an in-vehicle unit by performing processing to obtain an application corresponding to the predetermined hardware from a server and install the application in the in-vehicle unit. In cases in which the retrofitted hardware has been disconnected from the in-vehicle unit, the in-vehicle system also performs at least one type of processing out of processing to compress or processing to delete the application corresponding to the retrofitted hardware that has been disconnected.
Claims16
An in-vehicle unit comprising:
- a hardware detector configured to detect whether or not predetermined hardware is connected;
- a communication interface configured to perform external communication;
- and
- a processor configured to control so as to receive software corresponding to the hardware via the communication interface and install the software in cases in which connection of the hardware has been detected by the hardware detector, and to perform at least one type of processing out of compression processing to compress the software or deletion processing to delete the software in cases in which non-connection of the hardware has been detected by the detection section.
An in-vehicle system comprising:
- a hardware detector configured to detect whether or not predetermined hardware is connected to an in-vehicle unit;
- a first processor configured to control to install software corresponding to the hardware in the in-vehicle unit in cases in which connection of the hardware has been detected by the hardware detector;
- and
- a second processor configured to perform at least one type of processing out of compression processing to compress the software or deletion processing to delete the software in cases in which non-connection of the hardware has been detected by the detection section.
A vehicle comprising:
- a hardware detector configured to detect whether or not predetermined hardware is connected;
- a communication interface configured to perform external communication;
- and
- a processor configured to control so as to receive software corresponding to the hardware via the communication interface and install the software in cases in which connection of the hardware has been detected by the hardware detector, and to perform at least one type of processing out of compression processing to compress the software or deletion processing to delete the software in cases in which non-connection of the hardware has been detected by the hardware detector.
