ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18369400 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electric vehicle network management system that includes a database storing information about various vehicles, a server for managing updates and downloads of the database, and a vehicle that can download the updated information. The system also includes a domain control unit and a central communication unit in the vehicle to manage the downloaded information and wake up electronic control units as needed.

  • The system includes a database storing information about various vehicles
  • A server manages updates and downloads of the database
  • The server checks for changes in real-time and transmits update events over-the-air
  • Vehicles download the updated information when an update event is received
  • Vehicles have a domain control unit and central communication unit to manage the downloaded information and wake up electronic control units as needed

Original Abstract Submitted

An electric vehicle network management system includes a database which stores a partial network cluster database (PNC DB) of various vehicles, a server which manages the update and the download of the PNC DB and checks change information of the PNC DB in real time to transmit an update event through over-the-air (OTA) when the PNC DB is changed, and a vehicle which downloads the changed PNC DB by means of the OTA when the update event is received from the server and the vehicle includes a domain control unit (DCU) which downloads the changed PNC DB and a central communication unit (CCU) which selectively wakes up electronic control units (ECUs) of a network configuring unit which is required to execute a specific function based on the changed PNC DB.
