Communication managing device and communication system
View Patent ↗A communication managing device includes a monitoring unit that monitors wireless communication between a plurality of communication devices performing the wireless communication in a vehicle on the basis of a common communication standard and a communication status improving unit that performs a countermeasure for improving a communication status of the wireless communication on the basis of a result of the monitoring. The communication managing device may further include transfer means that sends a message to an occupant in the vehicle, and the communication status improving unit may improve the communication status of the wireless communication by sending a message for requesting for avoiding wireless communication based on the communication standard in a portable device to the occupant via the transfer means.
1. A communication managing device comprising:
a monitoring unit configured to monitor wireless communication between communication devices other than the communication managing device performing the wireless communication in a vehicle on the basis of a common communication standard; and
a communication status improving unit configured to perform a countermeasure for improving a communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device on the basis of a result of the monitoring.
2. The communication managing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transfer means configured to send a message to an occupant in the vehicle, wherein
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by sending a message, via the transfer means, of requesting the occupant to avoid wireless communication based on the communication standard by a portable device.
3. The communication managing device according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the communication devices other than the communication managing device belongs to one of a plurality of wireless subsystems having different communication bands to be used, and
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by changing allocation of communication bands to the wireless subsystems.
4. The communication managing device according to claim 2 , wherein
each of the communication devices other than the communication managing device belongs to one of a plurality of wireless subsystems having different communication bands to be used, and
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by changing allocation of communication bands to the wireless subsystems.
5. The communication managing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by relaying the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device.
6. The communication managing device according to claim 2 , wherein
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by relaying the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device.
7. The communication managing device according to claim 3 , wherein
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by relaying the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device.
8. The communication managing device according to claim 4 , wherein
the communication status improving unit improves the communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device by relaying the wireless communication between the communication devices other than the communication managing device.
9. A communication system comprising:
a plurality of communication devices configured to perform wireless communication in a vehicle on the basis of a common communication standard;
a monitoring unit other than the communication devices configured to monitor the wireless communication between the communication devices; and
a communication status improving unit other than the communication devices configured to perform a countermeasure for improving a communication status of the wireless communication between the communication devices on the basis of a result of the monitoring.
