Each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus for operating an over-the-air (OTA) update, the apparatus comprising: an input device configured to receive approval information for approving an OTA update process of a vehicle from a user; and an execution device configured to execute one of a first process or a second process in response to the approval information being entered, wherein each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the battery corresponds to a high-voltage battery. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the approval information includes first approval information for approving the OTA update process and second approval information for approving the OTA update process and the battery charging process. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the second approval information is entered in response to the first approval information being entered. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the battery charging process is performed based on a first power supply included in the vehicle, wherein the OTA update process is performed based on a second power supply included in the vehicle, and wherein the second power supply corresponds to a power supply which is constantly on. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, wherein in the first process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process, in response to the battery charging process being completed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second process is performed based on a first time, which is required to perform the OTA update process, and a second time entered from the user. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7, wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to perform the battery charging process in response to the OTA update process being completed, when the first time is less than or equal to the second time, and wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where the first power supply is off. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7, wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process in response to the battery charging process being completed, when the first time is longer than the second time. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where an update condition is satisfied, and wherein the update condition includes at least one of a condition that a state-of-charge (SOC) value of the battery is greater than a preset SOC value, a condition that a speed of the vehicle is 0, a condition that the first power supply is on, or a condition that the second power supply is off. ### Claim 11 A method for operating an over-the-air (OTA) update, the method comprising: receiving approval information for approving an OTA update process of a vehicle from a user; and executing, by an execution device, one of a first process or a second process in response to the approval information being entered, wherein each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the battery corresponds to a high-voltage battery. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the approval information includes first approval information for approving the OTA update process and second approval information for approving the OTA update process and the battery charging process. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the second approval information is entered in response to the first approval information being entered. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the battery charging process is performed based on a first power supply included in the vehicle, wherein the OTA update process is performed based on a second power supply included in the vehicle, and wherein the second power supply corresponds to a power supply which is constantly on. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein in the first process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process, in response to the battery charging process being completed. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the second process is performed based on a first time, which is required to perform the OTA update process, and a second time entered from the user. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to perform the battery charging process in response to the OTA update process being completed, when the first time is less than or equal to the second time, and wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where the first power supply is off. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process in response to the battery charging process being completed, when the first time is longer than the second time. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where an update condition is satisfied, and wherein the update condition includes at least one of a condition that an state-of-charge (SOC) value of the battery is greater than a preset SOC value, a condition that a speed of the vehicle is 0, a condition that the first power supply is on, or a condition that the second power supply is off.
