A vehicle-mounted device stores delay time information of a first set and a second set. The first set includes a first transmission delay time from an external portion to a measurement reference position at a data reception time, and a second transmission delay time from an external portion to a measurement reference position at a data reception time in another device. The second set includes a third transmission delay time from a measurement reference position to an external portion at a data transmission time, and a fourth transmission delay time from a measurement reference position to an external portion at a data transmission time in the other device. A propagation delay time between the devices is measured by time synchronization information to and from the other device, the measured propagation delay time is corrected based on the stored delay time information, and time synchronization between the devices is performed.

Vehicle-mounted device, vehicle-mounted communication system, and time synchronization method

A relay device mounted to a vehicle includes a plurality of function units. The relay device includes: an authentication processing unit configured to acquire authentication information of a function unit from an external device outside the vehicle, and perform an authentication process regarding the function unit by using the acquired authentication information; and a relay processing unit configured to, on the basis of a result of the authentication process performed by the authentication processing unit, relay information between the function unit and another function unit. When a validity time limit of the authentication information has expired, the authentication processing unit acquires, from the external device, the authentication information that is new.

Relay device and vehicle communication method

An information of a network to which a new function unit has been added is easily acquired. A relay device installed in a vehicle includes: a detection unit configured to detect a new function unit being a function unit that is newly added to a network including an existing function unit being one or a plurality of function units; a relay unit configured to relay a frame between the function units; and an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from the frame, relayed by the relay unit, between the new function unit detected by the detection unit and the existing function unit, function unit information that includes information regarding a network configuration of a layer of a lower order than an application layer, the function unit information being of at least one of the new function unit and the existing function unit.

Relay device, vehicle communication system, vehicle, communication method, and communication program

In a system including a plurality of in-vehicle networks, information regarding the network configuration of function units connected to different types of transmission paths can be easily used. A relay device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire second function unit information of the function unit connected to the second transmission path, the second function unit information being function unit information that includes information regarding a network configuration of a layer of a lower order than an application layer; and a conversion unit configured to perform a conversion process of converting the second function unit information acquired by the acquisition unit into information that is able to be registered into a database of one or a plurality of pieces of first function unit information being function unit information of one or a plurality of the function units each connected to a corresponding first transmission path.

Relay device, vehicle, communication method, and communication program

A management device to be used in an in-vehicle network including a plurality of function units installed in a vehicle includes: a state information acquisition unit configured to acquire state information indicating a state of the vehicle; and an allocation unit configured to change allocation of transmission bands of a plurality of logical paths between the function units in accordance with the state of the vehicle indicated by the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit.
