In-vehicle communication apparatus, in-vehicle system and application processing method by in-vehicle communication apparatus

An in-vehicle communication apparatus, comprising:

• a vehicle-internal communicator that communicates with in-vehicle apparatuses installed in a vehicle through an in-vehicle network;
• a vehicle-external communicator that communicates with a vehicle outside apparatus placed outside the vehicle;
• and
• a controller which has:
• an application profile manager that determines a combination of apparatuses that are required, respectively, for acquiring input information that is needed for execution of an application and transferring the input information, for executing processing according to the application on a basis of the transferred input information, and for outputting a processing result of the thus-executed processing according to the application;
• and
• a data processing instructor that instructs the apparatuses of said combination determined by the application profile manager, to acquire and transfer the input information, to execute the processing according to the application on the basis of the transferred input information, and to output the processing result of the executed processing;
• wherein the application profile manager determines from among the in-vehicle apparatuses and the in-vehicle communication apparatus, the combination of apparatuses that are required, respectively, for acquiring and transferring the input information, for executing the processing according to the application and for outputting the processing result.
