Questions about Vehicle Prohibition Period Prediction: 1. How does the OTA master predict prohibition periods in the vehicle? 2. What are the potential implications of user notification for prohibition periods in vehicle operations?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle is equipped with an OTA master. A processing circuit of the OTA master predicts whether a prohibition period occurs when an activation process of activating software in a storage device of a target ECU is performed the next time the vehicle is started, the prohibition period being a period during which the vehicle is prohibited from starting to move or the use of a specific function in the vehicle is prohibited. When the processing circuit predicts that the prohibition period occurs when the activation process is performed the next time the vehicle is started, the processing circuit notifies a user of the vehicle of the length of the prohibition period.
