==ONBOARD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CENTER DEVICE, VEHICLE-SIDE SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING UPDATE DATA OF ONBOARD COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537350 titled 'ONBOARD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CENTER DEVICE, VEHICLE-SIDE SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING UPDATE DATA OF ONBOARD COMMUNICATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an onboard communication system for vehicles that allows for the secure transmission and verification of update data to electronic control units.

* The center device transmits update data as a distribution package to the electronic control unit via a streaming method.
* The master device in the vehicle receives the distribution package and transfers the update data to the electronic control unit.
* The electronic control unit writes the update data to a storage unit.
* The center device also sends a hash value for the update data to the master device.
* The electronic control unit calculates a hash value for the update data and sends it to the master device.
* The master device compares the hash values from the center device and the electronic control unit to verify the integrity of the update data.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in automotive industry for updating software in vehicles, ensuring secure and reliable transmission of data.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of securely updating software in vehicles without the risk of data corruption or tampering during transmission.

== Benefits ==

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An onboard communication system includes a center device that transmits update data as a distribution package by a streaming manner to an electronic control unit installed in a vehicle, a master device that is installed in the vehicle and receives the distribution package and transfer the update data to the electronic control unit, and the electronic control unit that writes the update data transferred from the master device to a storage unit. The center device also transmits a hash value calculated for the update data to the master device. The electronic control unit calculates a hash value for the update data and transmits the hash value to the master device. The master device compares the hash value transmitted from the center device with the hash value transmitted from the electronic control unit to verify integrity of the update data.
