SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND SOFTWARE UPDATE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341178 titled 'SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND SOFTWARE UPDATE METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The software management system described in the patent application involves a vehicle with a control device storing software and a display device, as well as a server with processors that update the software wirelessly.

  • The system cancels software updates and displays error descriptions on the vehicle's display device when errors occur during the update process.
  • If a first error occurs due to the server, the processors cancel the update and request the vehicle to display the error description.
  • If a second error, different from the first, occurs, the vehicle cancels the update and displays the error description without being prompted by the processors.

Original Abstract Submitted

A software management system includes: a vehicle including a control device storing software and a display device; and a server including one or more processors that update the software by wireless communication. When a first error due to the server occurs, the one or more processors cancel software update and request the vehicle to display a description of the first error on the display device. When a second error different from the first error occurs, the vehicle cancels the software update, and displays a description of the second error on the display device without being requested by the one or more processors.
