Abstract

An in-vehicle device includes: a measurement unit configured to measure a characteristic of a transmission path in an in-vehicle network mounted to the vehicle; an acquisition unit configured to acquire deterioration information which is information regarding deterioration of the transmission path and which corresponds to the characteristic measured by the measurement unit; and a determination unit configured to determine a deterioration degree of the transmission path, based on the characteristic measured by the measurement unit and the deterioration information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Claims (6)

1 . An in-vehicle device mounted to a vehicle, the in-vehicle device comprising:

a processor configured to:

measure a characteristic of a transmission path in an in-vehicle network mounted to the vehicle; and

based on a measurement result of the characteristic, detect a change in the characteristic, and perform a discrimination process of discriminating a factor of the change, wherein

in the discrimination process, the processor selects one or more candidates out of a plurality of candidates of the factor as a selection target, the selection target determined as being the factor of the change, and

when the vehicle is traveling, in the discrimination process, the processor selects the one or more candidates out of the plurality of candidates from which a part of the plurality of candidates that is an unauthorized connection and a topology alteration is excluded, and determines, as the factor of the change, the one or more candidates selected as the selection target.
