Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wire harness includes a power line that extends from a power-supply control box to supply electrical power to one or more power-requiring devices; a communication line that extends from the power-supply control box to perform communication with one or more communication devices; a plurality of area drivers that are coupled with the power line and the communication line and are coupled to three or more of devices out of the one or more power-requiring devices and the one or more communication devices within each of areas; and individual electrical wires that couple the three or more of devices within the respective areas to the plurality of area drivers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A wire harness that is electrically coupled to various devices installed on a vehicle, the wire harness comprising: a central unit configured to supply electrical power to one or more power-requiring devices and perform communication with one or more communication devices; a power line configured to extend from the central unit to supply electrical power to the one or more power-requiring devices; a communication line configured to extend from the central unit to perform communication with the one or more communication devices; a plurality of area drivers configured to be provided one on each of a plurality of areas defined in the vehicle, coupled with the power line and the communication line, and coupled to three or more of devices out of the one or more power-requiring devices and the one or more communication devices within each area; and individual electrical wires configured to couple the three or more of devices within the respective areas to the plurality of area drivers. 2 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the power line and the communication line that couple the central unit to at least one of the plurality of area drivers are placed in a flex portion in which electrical wires are repeatedly flexed. 3 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the power line and the communication line that couple the central unit to at least one of the plurality of area drivers are placed inside a pillar. 4 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the central unit and at least one of the plurality of area drivers are coupled through the power line and the communication line which are wired inside a through-hole provided on a specific member to ensure a wiring route.
