Scheduling apparatus, control method, and control program

A control method for use by a scheduling apparatus that schedules functions executed by a plurality of vehicle-mounted apparatuses that are capable of communicating with each other via a communication bus,

• the control method comprising:
• a step of acquiring first information, which determines first execution start timing, which is timing at which a first function executed by a first vehicle-mounted control apparatus and a second vehicle-mounted control apparatus is started, and a first execution period, which is a period at which the first function is executed, and second information, which determines a second execution start timing, which is timing at which a second function executed by the first vehicle-mounted control apparatus and a third vehicle-mounted control apparatus is started, and a second execution period, which is a period at which the second function is executed;
• and
• a step of determining, based on the first information and the second information, the first execution start timing, the first execution period, the second execution start timing, and the second execution period, which minimize total power consumption of the first vehicle-mounted control apparatus, the second vehicle-mounted control apparatus, and the third vehicle-mounted control apparatus.

A control program used by a scheduling apparatus that schedules functions executed by a plurality of vehicle-mounted apparatuses that are capable of communicating with each other via a communication bus,

• the control program causing a computer to execute processing comprising:
• a step of acquiring first information, which determines first execution start timing, which is timing at which a first function executed by a first vehicle-mounted control apparatus and a second vehicle-mounted control apparatus is started, and a first execution period, which is a period at which the first function is executed, and second information, which determines a second execution start timing, which is timing at which a second function executed by the first vehicle-mounted control apparatus and a third vehicle-mounted control apparatus is started, and a second execution period, which is a period at which the second function is executed;
• and
• a step of determining, based on the first information and the second information, the first execution start timing, the first execution period, the second execution start timing, and the second execution period, which minimize total power consumption of the first vehicle-mounted control apparatus, the second vehicle-mounted control apparatus, and the third vehicle-mounted control apparatus.
