Latest Patents

Hayakawa’s latest listed patents include two inventions related to vehicle cybersecurity and electronic control unit communications.

“Log Determination Device, Log Determination Method, Log Determination Program, and Log Determination System” describes a system that collects security logs generated when an abnormality is detected in a vehicle’s electronic control system. It identifies logs based on abnormality type, evaluates how frequently they occur, and determines whether a specific log is a false positive. The resulting information can support analysis of potential attacks and the development of countermeasures.

“Message Monitoring System, Message Transmission Electronic Control Unit, and Monitoring Electronic Control Unit” describes a method for checking whether messages exchanged over a vehicle communication network are normal. One electronic control unit sends a message and periodically transmits a second message containing a feature value for the first. A monitoring unit calculates a feature value from the received message and compares it with the stored value to assess the message.
