A vehicle includes an onboard controller(s) coupled to a wireless transceiver, which are configured to connect to a remote server, and to respond to a remote software update message for a vehicle from the remote server(s). In response, the controller(s) download a software update to the vehicle from the remote server(s). The controller(s) are further configured to detect a vehicle idle state, to determine whether the vehicle is unattended, such that the software update may proceed. If the idle state is detected, and in response to the remote software update message, the controller(s) configure the vehicle to a program mode, having vehicle conditions that include key on, transmission in park, and engine off. If the program mode configurations are successful, then the controller(s) update and/or flash the downloaded updates to in-vehicle, onboard computer processing systems and controller(s), which may include for example an engine control unit (ECU), among others.

Electric vehicle anti-theft system

A vehicle positioning system, a vehicle positioning method and a mobile device are provided. The vehicle positioning system includes: a vehicle and a mobile device coupled to the vehicle. The mobile device establishes communication with the vehicle. The mobile device receives a time interval and a minimum displacement. An application of the mobile device obtains a first location at a first time. When a difference of a second time point and the first time point is greater than the time interval and a distance between a second location and the first location is greater than the minimum displacement, the application obtains the second location at the second time point.

Vehicle positioning system, vehicle positioning method and mobile device

Provided is a system for managing sharing of a saddle riding-type vehicle, the system characterized in having: a position specifying means, which is provided in the saddle riding-type vehicle, for specifying the position of the saddle riding-type vehicle; a position acquisition means for acquiring the position of surrounding vehicles from the surrounding vehicles that are present around the saddle riding-type vehicle; and a determination means for determining a parking position at which the saddle riding-type vehicle is parked on the basis of the position of the saddle riding-type vehicle specified by the position specifying means and the positions of the surrounding vehicles acquired by the position acquisition means when the saddle riding-type vehicle is parked.

System, management method, and information processing device

A method for updating firmware of a vehicle which includes a dashboard device and a power device and which is communicable with a mobile device storing a program file is provided. The method includes: a) receiving, when the dashboard device is powered by the power device, and after a wireless connection between the dashboard device and the mobile device is established, a data stream of the program file from the mobile device via the wireless connection; b) making a pause in receiving the data stream when it is determined that the wireless connection is interrupted; c) resuming receiving the data stream after recovering the wireless connection from interruption; and d) repeating steps b) and c) so as to continue with data transfer of the program file from the mobile device.

Method for updating firmware of a vehicle and a vehicle system

A method includes steps of: establishing a wireless connection between a dashboard device (3) of a vehicle (7) and a mobile device (4); recording a position of the mobile device (4) as an entry of recorded position data at predetermined time intervals; transmitting a notification signal to the mobile device (4) via the wireless connection to enable the mobile device (4) to make a determination as to whether the mobile device (4) is currently able to receive a positioning signal; and determining the position of the mobile device (4) based on the positioning signal to serve as the last position of the vehicle (7) in the affirmative, and determining the last position of the vehicle (7) based on a latest entry of the recorded position data when otherwise.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of recording and displaying a vehicle position through use of a portable information terminal, and a system therefor.SOLUTION: In the case where the newest position specification signal is received, the portable information terminal records the newest position specification signal in a memory unit in order to set the newest position specification coordinates corresponding to the newest position specification signal as the last parking position of a vehicle on the basis of an instruction of a processing unit, and in the case where the portable information terminal cannot receive the newest position specification signal, the portable information terminal regards the closest one position specification coordinate among a plurality of position specification coordinates periodically recorded as the last stop position of the vehicle, on the basis of an instruction of the processing unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Method of recording and displaying vehicle position and system therefor

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for updating a program without troubling a user.SOLUTION: A portable information terminal 4 downloads a firmware program. The portable information terminal 4 and an instrument device 3 are wirelessly connected, and the instrument device 3 starts the reception of the firmware program from the portable information terminal 4. When a power switch 81 is Off, a processing module 31 performs control so that the power module 81 temporarily supplies power to the instrument device 3, and wirelessly connects the instrument device 3 to the portable information terminal 4. When the wireless connection between the portable information terminal 4 and the instrument device 3 interrupts, the instrument device 3 temporarily stops the reception of the firmware program from the portable information terminal 4. Then, when the wireless connection between the portable information terminal 4 and the instrument device 3 is restored, the instrument device 3 continuously receives the firmware program from the portable information terminal 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Method and system for updating vehicle program

A vehicle position recording and presenting method is suitable for a vehicle instrument device and a portable device. The method comprises the following steps: (a) when the power switch of the vehicle is in a conduction state, the instrument device is in wireless connection with the portable device; (b) the portable device is used for periodically recording the positioning coordinates of the vehicle at a preset recording time; (c) the instrument device is used for judging whether the disconnection signal of the power switch is received or not; (d) the instrument device receives the disconnection signal if the instrument device receives the disconnection signal, the instrument device transmits the disconnection signal to the portable device in a wireless manner, and then the portable device judges whether a latest positioning signal can be received or not; (e) the portable device receives the latest positioning signal and records the latest positioning coordinate corresponding to the newest positioning signal, which serves as the final parking position of the vehicle; and (f) if the portable device cannot receive the latest positioning signal, the portable device regards the most recent periodical record positioning coordinate in the plurality of periodically recorded positioning coordinates in the step (b) as the last parking location of the vehicle.
