An anomaly detection system is a system in an in-vehicle network system that includes one or more ECUs mounted on a vehicle and in which the vehicle and a server are capable of communicating with each other through a plurality of communication routes. The anomaly detection system includes: an anomaly detector that detects an anomaly in the vehicle; a determiner that determines, out of the plurality of communication routes, a communication route for transmitting anomaly detection result information indicating a result of detection of the anomaly in the vehicle to the server, according to occurrence of a specific anomaly; and an anomaly detection result transmitter that transmits the anomaly detection result information to the server using the communication route determined.

An electronic control unit is connected to a network in an in-vehicle network system. The electronic control unit includes a first control circuit that operates on a first operating system and a second control circuit that operates on a second operating system. The first control circuit is connected to the network via the second control circuit. The second control circuit performs a first determination process on frames to determine conformity of the frames with a first rule. Upon determining that the frames conform to the first rule, the second control circuit transmits contents of the frames to the first control circuit. The first control circuit performs a second determination process on the contents of the frames to determine conformity with a second rule. The second rule is different from the first rule.

Vehicle communication apparatus, in-vehicle network system, and vehicle communication method

An anomaly detection server is provided. The anomaly detection server is a server for counteracting an anomalous frame transmitted on an on-board network of a single vehicle. The anomaly detection server acquires information about multiple frames received on one or multiple on-board networks of one or multiple vehicles, including the single vehicle. The anomaly detection server, acting as an assessment unit that, based on the information about the multiple frames and information about a frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle after the acquisition of the information about the multiple frames, assesses an anomaly level of the frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle.

A gateway device is connected to a plurality of electronic controllers on-board a vehicle. The gateway device acquires firmware update information, which includes at least a part of updated firmware to be applied to a first electronic controller, patch data, and information indicating where to apply the patch data. When the gateway device determines that the first electronic controller does not include a firmware cache for performing a pre-update firmware cache operation, the gateway device executes a proxy process. In this regard, the gateway device requests the first electronic controller to transmit boot ROM data to the gateway device, merges the patch data and existing firmware to create updated boot ROM data with updated firmware, and transmits the updated boot ROM data to the first electronic controller that updates the boot ROM data and resets the first electronic controller with the updated firmware.
