Abstract
An embodiment method for managing at least one vehicle network including at least one electronic control unit (ECU) among a plurality of ECUs in a vehicle network management apparatus is provided, which may include, based on information of at least one default partial network cluster including at least one ECU among the plurality of ECUs according to at least one default partial network function provided by default in a mapping database, configuring a new partial network cluster by adding an ECU according to user customization to the at least one default partial network cluster, and storing information of the new partial network cluster in the mapping database.
Claims18
A method for managing a vehicle network in a vehicle network management apparatus, the method comprising:
- based on information of at least one default partial network cluster including at least one ECU among a plurality of ECUs in the vehicle network management apparatus, according to at least one default partial network function provided by default in a mapping database, configuring a new partial network cluster by adding at least one of the ECUs according to user customization to the at least one default partial network cluster;
- and
- storing information of the new partial network cluster in the mapping database.
A vehicle network management apparatus for managing at least one vehicle network including at least one electronic control unit (ECU) among a plurality of ECUs in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a mapping database configured to store information of at least one default partial network cluster including at least one ECU among the plurality of ECUs according to at least one default partial network function provided by default;
- and
- a partial network cluster manager configured to create a new partial network cluster by adding an ECU according to user customization to the at least one default partial network cluster, and to store information of the new partial network cluster in the mapping database.
A method for performing an over-the-air (OTA) software update in at least one electronic control unit (ECU) among a plurality of ECUs in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a partial network cluster setting change request of ECUs included in a new partial network cluster through an OTA server in response to a new partial network cluster according to user customization is configured in addition to at least one default partial network cluster provided by default;
- and
- updating the partial network cluster setting with information of the new partial network cluster in a network management function module based on the partial network cluster setting change request.
