An in-vehicle system according to an embodiment includes a detection unit, a reception unit, and a recovery unit. The detection unit detects a freeze state of a navigation apparatus. The reception unit receives a recovery operation from a user demanding recovery of the navigation apparatus. The recovery unit performs a recovery process for the navigation apparatus upon detection of the freeze state of the navigation apparatus by the detection unit and upon reception of the recovery operation by the reception unit.

In-vehicle system removing a freeze state of car navigation equipment

A processing unit executes at least one of a task of a radio tuner, a task of a television tuner, a task of a playback control unit for playback of stored image and sound, a task of an indication unit for indicating image according to image data, a task of a navigation unit for detecting a present position and indicating the detected position on a map, and a task of a route search unit for searching for a route and indicating the searched route on the map, in accordance with a predetermined priority. When execution of multiple tasks by the processing unit exceeds processing performance of the processing unit, a processing suspension unit suspends a task, which satisfies a predetermined condition, among the multiple tasks currently executed by the processing unit, irrespective of a priority of the task.

In-vehicle device and method for controlling the same

A communication system for a vehicle includes: a plurality of controllers mounted on the vehicle; a data communication network for coupling the plurality of controllers with each other so that the controllers transmit data to and receive data from each other via the data communication network; a failure diagnosis device for diagnosing whether each controller is normal; a failure diagnosis activation device for activating the failure diagnosis device; and an avoiding condition setting device for setting an avoiding condition, which provides to avoid execution of the failure diagnosis when the failure diagnosis device is activated.

Communication system for vehicle

In a vehicle equipped with a plurality of electronic devices, a power-saving system () saves electricity while comprehensively controlling the power supply status to each of the plurality of electronic devices. The power-saving system () includes: power supply status control portion () controlling the power supply status to each of the plurality of electronic devices depending on a usage situation of the vehicle; and usage situation determination portion () determining the usage situation on the basis of information useful for determining a usage situation, including information related to a usage date and time, current location or driver of the vehicle. The power supply status control portion () controls the power supply status to each of the plurality of electronic devices on the basis of a predetermined power supply status to each of the plurality of electronic devices set depending on a usage situation and the usage situation determined by the usage situation determination portion ().

Power-saving system and control method for the same

A disclosed interior material structure for a vehicle including an interior material made of a conductive portion and non-conductive portions covering the conductive portion includes a grounding unit () configured to electrically connect the conductive portion and a vehicle body. The grounding unit includes an interior material side terminal (), a vehicle body side terminal (), and a conductive wire (). The interior material side terminal has a projecting member configured to bite into the interior material and then to be locked with the bite of the interior material in contact with the conductive portion. The vehicle body side terminal is configured to be attached to the vehicle body such that the vehicle body side terminal is electrically connected to the vehicle body. The conductive wire is configured to electrically connect the interior material side terminal and the vehicle body side terminal.
