Abstract
It is determined whether or not to switch from a normal operation mode in which a normal operation is executed to an inspection mode in which an inspection is executed for each of the plurality of functions based on the operation state of the in-vehicle electronic control device when the in-vehicle electronic control device is mounted on the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to switch to the inspection mode and inspect one of the functions that does not need to function in the normal operation mode. Therefore, it is possible to execute the inspection of a plurality of functions of the electronic control device while minimizing the influence on the control of the vehicle.
Claims16
An in-vehicle electronic control device for executing an inspection of each of a plurality of functions that the in-vehicle electronic control device has in a state where the in-vehicle electronic control device is mounted on a vehicle, the in-vehicle electronic control device comprising:
- at least one of (i) a circuit and (ii) a processor with a memory storing computer program code executable by the processor, wherein:
- the at least one of the circuit and the processor is configured to cause the in-vehicle electronic control device to execute:
- acquiring information about an operation state of the in-vehicle electronic control device;
- determining whether or not each of the plurality of functions are able to be switched from a normal operation mode in which an normal operation is executed to an inspection mode in which the inspection is executed, based on the operation state acquired in the acquiring of the information;
- and
- switching to the inspection mode and executing the inspection for one of the plurality of functions that has been determined to be able to be switched to the inspection mode.
An inspection method for inspecting a plurality of functions of an in-vehicle electronic control device using the in-vehicle electronic control device when the in-vehicle electronic control device is mounted on a vehicle, the inspection method comprising:
- acquiring information about an operation state of the in-vehicle electronic control device;
- determining whether or not each of the plurality of functions are able to be switched from a normal operation mode in which an normal operation is executed to an inspection mode in which an inspection is executed, based on acquired operation state;
- and
- switching to the inspection mode and executing the inspection for one of the plurality of functions that has been determined that is able to be switched to the inspection mode.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions being executed by a computer, the instructions including a computer-implemented method for inspecting a plurality of functions of an in-vehicle electronic control device using the in-vehicle electronic control device when the in-vehicle electronic control device is mounted on a vehicle, the instructions including:
- acquiring information about an operation state of the in-vehicle electronic control device;
- determining whether or not each of the plurality of functions are able to be switched from a normal operation mode in which an normal operation is executed to an inspection mode in which an inspection is executed, based on acquired operation state;
- and
- switching to the inspection mode and executing the inspection for one of the plurality of functions that has been determined that is able to be switched to the inspection mode.
