Apparatus and method for processing a plurality of logging policies

An apparatus for processing a plurality of logging policies, the logging policies defining data logging specifications for selectively collecting vehicle data according to purpose of using the vehicle data, the apparatus comprising:

• a logging policy input device configured to receive the plurality of logging policies for vehicle data, the plurality of logging policies being determined depending upon car models;
• a logging policy storage configured to store the logging policies received by the logging policy input unit;
• and
• a processor including:
• a logging policy analyzer configured to parse the logging policies stored in the logging policy storage and extract variables from the parsed logging policies;
• a rule maker configured to make a logging policy applying rule based on the variables extracted by the logging policy analyzer;
• and
• a logging policy processor configured to read and process the corresponding logging policy which is stored in the logging policy storage depending on the logging policy applying rule made by the rule maker in order to prevent a collision situation between the plurality of logging policies, when the plurality of logging policies are applied to one vehicle under multiple users and multiple service environment,
• wherein the logging policy input device includes:
• a memory configured to temporarily store the received logging policy;
• a filter configured to authenticate the logging policies stored in the memory and perform a primary integrity check and a redundancy check;
• and
• an ID tagger configured to tag IDs to the logging policies normally passing through the filter, and
• wherein, when an application period of a logging policy having a high priority arrives while a logging policy having a low priority is applied, the logging policy processor pauses applying the logging policy having the low priority and applies the logging policy having the high priority.
