Apparatus for processing a plurality of logging policies and method thereof

1. An apparatus for processing logging policies which define data collection specifications for selectively collecting vehicle data in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, which when executed cause the processor to:

receive a plurality of logging policies which define data collection specifications for selectively collecting vehicle data;

store the plurality of received logging policies;

extract profile data, variable data, and policy data from the plurality of stored logging policies;

determine data included in each of the extracted profile data, the extracted variable data, and the extracted policy data of each of the respective plurality of logging policies;

generate an integrated logging policy based on the data determined to be included in each of the extracted profile data, the extracted variable data, and the extracted policy data; and

selectively collect vehicle data among a plurality of available vehicle data by processing the generated integrated logging policy

wherein one or more sensors equipped in the vehicle generate vehicle data in accordance with a collection specification defined by the integrated logging policy.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of logging policies includes one or more policy files in a script format.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a logging policy of the plurality of logging policies includes the profile data, the variable data, which is used to determine a time of applying a policy, and the policy data, which is used to collect the vehicle data.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the profile data includes information relating to at least one of a vehicle model, a development stage, and a software version.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the variable data includes information relating to at least one of a priority, a time of application, a cycle of application, and a condition of transition.

6. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the policy data includes information relating to at least one of a type and a characteristic of vehicle data to be collected, a type of a vehicle network, a topology, and a method of collecting vehicle data.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further caused to:

temporarily store the received plurality of logging policies;

authorize the plurality of stored logging policies;

conduct a first integrity check and a redundancy check on the plurality of logging policies to determine whether a logging policy is valid; and

tag an ID to a valid logging policy of the plurality of logging policies according to the conducted first integrity check and redundancy check.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further caused to:

conduct a contents check to verify a result of the first integrity check; and

conduct a grammar check to detect a structural error of policy files in a script format.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further caused to conduct a second integrity check with respect to one or more logging policies that pass the first integrity check.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further caused to:

parse the plurality of stored logging policies; and

extract the variable data and the policy data from the parsed logging policies.

11. A method for processing logging policies which define data collection specifications for selectively collecting vehicle data in a vehicle, wherein a memory is configured to store program instructions for performing the method, and a processor is configured to execute the stored program instructions, the method comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a plurality of logging policies which define data collection specifications for selectively collecting vehicle data;

storing, by the processor, the received plurality of logging policies;

extracting, by the processor, profile data, variable data, and policy data from the plurality of logging policies;

determining, by the processor, data included in each of the extracted profile data, the extracted variable data, and the extracted policy data of each of the respective plurality of logging policies;

generating, by the processor, an integrated logging policy based on the data determined to be included in each of the extracted profile data, the extracted variable data, and the extracted policy data; and

selectively collecting, by the processor, vehicle data among a plurality of available vehicle data by processing the generated integrated logging policy,

wherein one or more sensors equipped in the vehicle generate vehicle data in accordance with a collection specification defined by the integrated logging policy.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein a logging policy of the plurality of logging policies includes one or more policy files in a script format, the profile data, the variable data, which is used to determine a time of applying the policy, and the policy data, which is used to collect the vehicle data.

13. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

temporarily storing, by the processor, the received plurality of logging policies;

authorizing, by the processor, the plurality of stored logging policies;

conducting, by the processor, a first integrity check and a redundancy check on the plurality of logging policies to determine whether a logging policy is valid; and

tagging, by the processor, an ID to a valid logging policy of the plurality of logging policies according to the conducted first integrity check and redundancy check.

14. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

conducting, by the processor, a contents check to verify a result of the first integrity check; and

conducting, by the processor, a grammar check to detect a structural error of policy files in a script format.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising conducting, by the processor, a second integrity check with respect to one or more logging policies that pass the first integrity check.

16. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

parsing, by the processor, the stored logging policies; and

extracting, by the processor, the variable data and the policy data from the parsed logging policies.
