Abstract
An onboard device includes: a communication unit configured to communicate with an onboard device included in an onboard network; a detection unit configured to detect a new onboard device that is an onboard device newly added to the onboard network; and a sleep processing unit configured to, in a detected state where the new onboard device has been detected by the detection unit, transmit a sleep request for transitioning to a sleep state in synchronization with an onboard device included in the onboard network, to the new onboard device via the communication unit.
Claims8
An onboard device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an onboard device included in an onboard network;
- a detection unit configured to detect a new onboard device that is an onboard device newly added to the onboard network;
- and
- a sleep processing unit configured to, in a detected state where the new onboard device has been detected by the detection unit, transmit a sleep request for transitioning to a sleep state in synchronization with an onboard device included in the onboard network, to the new onboard device via the communication unit.
A sleep control method for an onboard device that is capable of communicating with another onboard device included in an onboard network, the sleep control method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a new onboard device that is an onboard device newly added to the onboard network;
- and
- in a detected state where the new onboard device has been detected, transmitting a sleep request for transitioning to a sleep state in synchronization with an onboard device included in the onboard network, to the new onboard device.
