1. A software update device configured to control software update of an electronic control unit mounted on a vehicle, the software update device comprising one or more processors mounted on the vehicle, the one or more processors being configured to:
download update data of software of the electronic control unit from a server;
verify authenticity of the update data;
transmit a first confirmation request to the server after downloading the update data and before starting installation of the update data, the first confirmation request being a request to confirm whether a campaign related to the update data is canceled;
receive a confirmation result from the server, the confirmation result being sent by the server in response to the first confirmation request;
determine, before starting the installation of the update data, whether the campaign related to the update data is canceled based on the confirmation result received by the one or more processors, wherein
the installation of the update data is not started in a case where the authenticity of the update data has been verified and the campaign related to the update data is determined to be canceled; and
the installation of the update data is started in a case where the authenticity of the update data has been verified and the campaign related to the update data is determined not to be canceled.
2. The software update device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
transmit a second confirmation request for a second confirmation result indicating whether the campaign related to the update data is canceled to the server after the update data is installed and before the update data that is installed data is activated;
receive the second confirmation result from the server, the second confirmation result being sent by the server in response to the second confirmation request; and
set previous software before the update data is installed as the software to be executed by the electronic control unit in which the update data is installed when the campaign related to the update data is determined to be canceled based on the second confirmation result received by the one or more processors.
3. The software update device according to claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to not activate the software that is updated when the campaign related to the update data is determined to be canceled based on the second confirmation result received by the one or more processors and a non-volatile memory mounted in the electronic control unit that is an update target includes two storage areas.
4. The software update device according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage device configured to store data of the previous software executed, before the update data is installed, by the electronic control unit that is an update target, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to reinstall the previous software using the data of the previous software stored in the storage device when the campaign related to the update data is determined to be canceled based on the second confirmation result received by the one or more processors and a non-volatile memory mounted in the electronic control unit that is the update target includes one storage area.
5. An update control method executed by a computer that is mounted on a vehicle and that includes a processor, a memory, and a storage device for controlling software update of an electronic control unit mounted on the vehicle, the update control method comprising:
downloading update data of software of the electronic control unit from a server;
verifying authenticity of the update data;
transmitting a first confirmation request to the server after downloading the update data and before starting installation of the update data, the first confirmation request being a request to confirm whether a campaign related to the update data is canceled;
receiving a confirmation result from the server, the confirmation result being sent by the server in response to the first confirmation request;
determining, before starting the installation of the update data, whether the campaign related to the update data is canceled based on the confirmation result received by the computer, wherein
the installation of the update data is not started in a case where the authenticity of the update data has been verified and the campaign related to the update data is determined to be canceled; and
the installation of the update data is started in a case where the authenticity of the update data has been verified and the campaign related to the update data is determined not to be canceled.
