Abstract

A vehicle information transmission system that carries out communication with a management server that manages a vehicle includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to acquire vehicle information in accordance with a third sampling pattern that is a combination of a first sampling pattern and a second sampling pattern. The vehicle information is transferred within an in-vehicle network installed in the vehicle. The first sampling pattern is a sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at a change point at which a predetermined change has occurred. The second sampling pattern is a sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at intervals of a predetermined period. The electronic control unit is configured to transmit the acquired vehicle information to the management server.

Claims (11)

1. A vehicle information transmission system that carries out communication with a management server that manages a vehicle, the vehicle information transmission system comprising:

an in-vehicle device configured to

acquire vehicle information in accordance with a third sampling pattern that is a combination of a first sampling pattern and a second sampling pattern, the vehicle information being transferred within an in-vehicle network installed in the vehicle, the first sampling pattern being a change point sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at a change point at which a change in the vehicle information per unit time becomes larger than a predetermined value, the second sampling pattern being a simple sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at intervals of a predetermined sampling period, and

transmit the acquired vehicle information to the management server,

wherein the management server is configured to

perform an analysis on the acquired vehicle information, and

associate a change flag with the third sampling pattern when the management server determines the third sampling pattern is not to be appropriate based on the analysis on the acquired vehicle information, the change flag indicating that the third sampling pattern needs to be changed.

2. The vehicle information transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the in-vehicle device is configured to acquire the vehicle information in accordance with a sampling method based on a command from the management server.

3. The vehicle information transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein when the in-vehicle device is configured to acquire the vehicle information in accordance with the third sampling pattern, the predetermined period is set so as to be longer than another predetermined period at which the vehicle information is acquired in accordance with only the second sampling pattern.

4. The vehicle information transmission system according to claim 3 , wherein when the in-vehicle device is configured to acquire the vehicle information in accordance with the third sampling pattern, the predetermined period is set so as to be shorter in time interval than an interval at which the change point occurs.

5. The vehicle information transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the interval of the predetermined sampling period of the second sampling pattern is shorter in time than the unit time at which a change point occurs in the first sampling pattern.
