Abstract

An apparatus of operating an OTA update for a vehicle includes an input device receiving approval information for approving an OTA update process of a vehicle from a user and an execution device executing one of a first process or a second process in response to the approval information being entered. Each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle.

Claims (36)

1. A method for operating an over-the-air (OTA) update, the method comprising:

receiving approval information for approving an OTA update process of a vehicle from a user; and

executing, by an execution device, one of a first process or a second process in response to the approval information being entered,

wherein each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle,

wherein the battery charging process is performed based on a first power supply included in the vehicle,

wherein the OTA update process is performed based on a second power supply included in the vehicle,

wherein the second power supply corresponds to a power supply which is constantly on, and

wherein in the first process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process, in response to the battery charging process being completed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the battery corresponds to a high-voltage battery.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the approval information includes first approval information for approving the OTA update process and second approval information for approving the OTA update process and the battery charging process.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second approval information is entered in response to the first approval information being entered.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second process is performed based on a first time, which is required to perform the OTA update process, and a second time entered from the user.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to perform the battery charging process in response to the OTA update process being completed, when the first time is less than or equal to the second time, and

wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where the first power supply is off.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process in response to the battery charging process being completed, when the first time is longer than the second time.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where an update condition is satisfied, and wherein the update condition includes at least one of a condition that a state-of-charge (SOC) value of the battery is greater than a preset SOC value, a condition that a speed of the vehicle is 0, a condition that the first power supply is on, or a condition that the second power supply is off.

9. An apparatus for operating an over-the-air (OTA) update, the apparatus comprising:

an input device configured to receive approval information for approving an OTA update process of a vehicle from a user; and

an execution device configured to execute one of a first process or a second process in response to the approval information being entered,

wherein each of the first process and the second process includes at least one of a battery charging process of a battery in the vehicle or the OTA update process of the vehicle,

wherein the battery charging process is performed based on a first power supply included in the vehicle,

wherein the OTA update process is performed based on a second power supply included in the vehicle,

wherein the second power supply corresponds to a power supply which is constantly on, and

wherein in the first process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process, in response to the battery charging process being completed.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the battery corresponds to a high-voltage battery.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the approval information includes first approval information for approving the OTA update process and second approval information for approving the OTA update process and the battery charging process.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the second approval information is entered in response to the first approval information being entered.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second process is performed based on a first time, which is required to perform the OTA update process, and a second time entered from the user.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to perform the battery charging process in response to the OTA update process being completed, when the first time is less than or equal to the second time, and

wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where the first power supply is off.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein in the second process, the execution device is configured to turn off the first power supply and to perform the OTA update process in response to the battery charging process being completed, when the first time is longer than the second time.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 ,

wherein the OTA update process is performed in a state where an update condition is satisfied, and

wherein the update condition includes at least one of a condition that a state-of-charge (SOC) value of the battery is greater than a preset SOC value, a condition that a speed of the vehicle is 0, a condition that the first power supply is on, or a condition that the second power supply is off.
