COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RELAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379750 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RELAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The communication system described in the patent application involves a relay device and a diagnosis target device connected via a bus, with the relay device having a port for connecting a diagnostic tool. The relay device determines the correctness of the communication path for diagnostic data transferred between the relay device and the diagnostic tool, and sends a monitoring result to the diagnosis target device based on this determination.

Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system includes a relay device and a diagnosis target device. The relay device includes a port configured to connect a diagnostic tool. The diagnosis target device is connected to the relay device via a bus. The relay device determines whether a communication path of diagnostic data for diagnosing the diagnosis target device is correct when the relay deice has received the diagnostic data, the diagnostic data being data that is transferred between the relay device and the diagnostic tool. The relay device sends to the diagnosis target device a monitoring result including a determination result as to whether the communication path of the diagnostic data is correct.
