CONTROL SYSTEMS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES; ROAD VEHICLE DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PURPOSES NOT RELATED TO THE CONTROL OF A PARTICULAR SUB-UNIT - B60R: VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR - G06F: ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING (computer systems based on specific computational models G06N) ## Abstract A vehicle control system includes at least one vehicle control device and an operation control device, and is configured to: in response to a first command being input from an application, determine whether the first command can be accepted based on resource information that is related to a processing capacity of resource to be used by the first command; output, in response to determining that the first command can be accepted, a second command to an operation control program that is installed in the operation control device; in response to determining that the first command cannot be accepted, determine whether the first command can be accepted within a predetermined duration based on the resource information; and wait until the first command can be accepted and output the second command to the operation control program in response to determining that the first command can be accepted within the predetermined duration. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A vehicle control system mounted on a vehicle, the vehicle control system comprising: at least one vehicle control device; and an operation control device, wherein the at least one vehicle control device includes at least one processor with a memory storing computer program code, and the at least one processor with the memory is configured to: in response to a first command being input from an application of the at least one vehicle control device, determine whether the first command can be accepted based on resource information, the resource information being related to a processing capacity of resource to be used by the first command; output, in response to determining that the first command can be accepted, a second command, which is generated based on the first command, to an operation control program that is installed in the operation control device for controlling a control target; in response to determining that the first command cannot be accepted, determine whether the first command can be accepted within a predetermined upper limit processing duration based on the resource information; and wait until the first command can be accepted and then output the second command to the operation control program in response to determining that the first command can be accepted within the predetermined upper limit processing duration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor with the memory is further configured to transmit, to the application, (i) determination result indicating whether the first command can be accepted and (ii) information indicating a standby duration until the first command can be accepted, in response to determining that the first command can be accepted. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor with the memory is further configured to determine, in addition to a determination based on the resource information, whether the first command can be accepted depending on whether an operation of the operation control device corresponding to the first command conflicts with another operation corresponding to another processing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor with the memory is further configured to determine whether same type of the first command is accepted from a second application in a waiting state of the first command, the application that has transmitted the first command is defined as a first application, and the second application is different from the first application that has transmitted the first command, and the at least one processor with the memory is further configured to output, in response to determining that the same type of the first command being accepted from the second application, a single second command to the operation control program based on the first command from the first application and the first command from the second application. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor with the memory is further configured to: predict a future resource usage state by calculation; and use, as the resource information, current resource information stored in a storage and future resource information, which includes the predicted future resource usage state. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The vehicle control system according to claim 1, wherein the resource information includes characteristic information, and the characteristic information differs depending on a vehicle type or individual vehicle. ### Claim 7 A vehicle control method executed by at least one processor of a vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle, the vehicle control method comprising: in response to a first command being input from an application of the vehicle control device, determining whether the first command can be accepted based on resource information, the resource information being related to a processing capacity of resource to be used by the first command; outputting, in response to determining that the first command can be accepted, a second command, which is generated based on the first command, to an operation control program that is installed in an operation control device of the vehicle for controlling a control target; in response to determining that the first command cannot be accepted, further determining whether the first command can be accepted within a predetermined upper limit processing duration based on the resource information; and waiting until the first command can be accepted and then outputting the second command to the operation control program in response to determining that the first command can be accepted within the predetermined upper limit processing duration. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program comprising instructions, when executed by at least one processor of a vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle, causing the at least one processor to: in response to a first command being input from an application of the vehicle control device, determine whether the first command can be accepted based on resource information, the resource information being related to a processing capacity of resource to be used by the first command; output, in response to determining that the first command can be accepted, a second command, which is generated based on the first command, to an operation control program that is installed in an operation control device of the vehicle for controlling a control target; in response to determining that the first command cannot be accepted, further determine whether the first command can be accepted within a predetermined upper limit processing duration based on the resource information; and wait until the first command can be accepted and then output the second command to the operation control program in response to determining that the first command can be accepted within the predetermined upper limit processing duration.
