Vehicle Network Management Method and Apparatus, and OTA Software Update Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240192945 titled 'Vehicle Network Management Method and Apparatus, and OTA Software Update Method

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for managing a vehicle network by customizing clusters of electronic control units (ECUs) based on default settings and user preferences.

  • Based on default network clusters and functions, a new cluster is created by adding an ECU according to user customization.
  • Information about the new cluster is stored in a mapping database for future reference.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Customization of vehicle network clusters by adding ECUs based on user preferences.
  • Utilization of default settings and functions to streamline the process.
  • Storage of information in a mapping database for easy access and management.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for managing vehicle networks efficiently and effectively.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the process of managing vehicle networks.
  • Allows for customization based on user preferences.
  • Enhances the overall functionality of the vehicle network.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in managing vehicle networks.
  • Customization options for better user experience.
  • Streamlined process for adding new ECUs to network clusters.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used by automotive manufacturers, fleet management companies, and vehicle service providers to optimize vehicle network management processes.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on vehicle network management systems and methods for customizing electronic control units in vehicles.

Frequently Updated Research: Research on advancements in vehicle network management systems and technologies for enhancing customization options in vehicle networks may be relevant to this technology.

Questions about Vehicle Network Management: 1. What are the key benefits of customizing vehicle network clusters based on user preferences? 2. How does this technology improve the overall efficiency of managing vehicle networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

an embodiment method for managing at least one vehicle network including at least one electronic control unit (ecu) among a plurality of ecus in a vehicle network management apparatus is provided, which may include, based on information of at least one default partial network cluster including at least one ecu among the plurality of ecus according to at least one default partial network function provided by default in a mapping database, configuring a new partial network cluster by adding an ecu according to user customization to the at least one default partial network cluster, and storing information of the new partial network cluster in the mapping database.
