A vehicle-mounted gateway apparatus according to an embodiment includes a communication device including an external communication interface for connection to the network outside the mobile body with each of a plurality of different external communication schemes and an internal communication interface for connection to each of the plurality of data sources within the mobile body; and a control device configured to transmit data collected from each of the data sources through the internal communication interface to the network outside the mobile body. The control device includes a communication channel selection section configured to select a communication channel from the plurality of external communication schemes for each of the data sources, and a monitoring control section configured to monitor data output from each of the data sources and to transmit the data to the network outside the mobile body over a selected one of the communication channels associated with the data source. The communication channel selection section is configured to switch between the communication channels associated with each of the data sources depending on a communication connection state of each of the plurality of external communication schemes based on priority setting in which the plurality of external communication schemes are arranged in a predetermined priority order.

Vehicle-mounted gateway apparatus and vehicle mounted gateway system

A software update system updating software executed on a predetermined system for controlling a mobile body and including a vehicle-mounted gateway (GW) apparatus within the mobile body and connected to the predetermined system, and a software (SW) update apparatus connected to the vehicle-mounted gateway apparatus through a network. The SW update apparatus delivers software to the vehicle-mounted GW apparatus, receives reception OK or reception NG of the software from the vehicle-mounted GW apparatus, and records the reception OK or the reception NG in the delivery-side log information. The vehicle-mounted GW apparatus records reception OK or reception NG of the software in the mobile body-side log information associated with the delivery-side log information, and transmits the reception result to the SW update apparatus. The vehicle-mounted GW apparatus permits update of the software on the predetermined system when the software reception history in the mobile body-side log information indicates reception OK.
