Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A relay apparatus is to be applied to a vehicle. The relay apparatus is configured to relay a communication between an external device provided outside the vehicle and an electronic control unit mounted on the vehicle. The relay apparatus includes an external communication connector and a communication processor. The external communication connector is configured to communicably couple the external device. The communication processor is configured to control the communication between the external device coupled to the external communication connector and the electronic control unit. The communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit after an ignition of the vehicle makes a transition to an off state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A relay apparatus to be applied to a vehicle, the relay apparatus being configured to relay a communication between an external device provided outside the vehicle and an electronic control unit mounted on the vehicle, the relay apparatus comprising: an external communication connector configured to communicably couple the external device; and a communication processor configured to control the communication between the external device coupled to the external communication connector and the electronic control unit, the communication processor being configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit after an ignition of the vehicle makes a transition to an off state. 2 . The relay apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit after a predetermined time elapses from the transition of the ignition of the vehicle to the off state. 3 . The relay apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit by refraining from relaying, to the electronic control unit, a communication request made by the external device in response to the communication request made by the external device. 4 . The relay apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit by refraining from relaying, to the electronic control unit, a communication request made by the external device in response to the communication request made by the external device. 5 . The relay apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit by making a rejection response to a communication request made by the external device. 6 . The relay apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the communication processor is configured to block the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit by making a rejection response to a communication request made by the external device. 7 . The relay apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication processor is configured to refrain from blocking the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit when the vehicle is in a predetermined state. 8 . The relay apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the communication processor is configured to refrain from blocking the communication between the external device and the electronic control unit when the vehicle is in a predetermined state.
