Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle control device, a gateway device, and an in-vehicle network system for storing a log used for failure analysis when an abnormality is detected.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a known method for saving a log so that a cause analysis can be easily performed when a failure occurs in an electronic system.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, information related to operations and communication information are stored as history information in a failure analysis target terminal. This history information is a log. Then, in the analysis terminal, those logs are acquired, and the operation of the failure analysis target terminal is reproduced based on the log. Thereby, when a failure occurs in the terminal, the cause analysis of the failure can be easily performed.

  Patent Document 2 proposes to compress the log data size. In Patent Document 2, in order to compress the log data size, the logs are compared line by line, and the difference data between them is generated.

  Since Patent Document 1 assumes a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal, an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) terminal, a vending machine, a plant, and the like as terminals for failure analysis, the capacity of a memory for storing a log Is estimated to be sufficiently large. Therefore, if the method of Patent Document 1 is applied to the in-vehicle control device as it is, there is a possibility that the capacity of the memory is insufficient and the log cannot be stored sufficiently.

  In Patent Document 2, a device, a system, or the like is assumed as a failure analysis target terminal. However, in the method for generating the difference data of Patent Document 2, the compression rate varies depending on the contents of the log, and thus the expected compression rate cannot be obtained. Therefore, when the method of Patent Document 2 is applied to the in-vehicle control device, there is a possibility that the log cannot be stored sufficiently.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and makes it possible to store a log required for failure analysis of the in-vehicle control device without increasing the storage capacity of the in-vehicle control device. An object is to obtain a device, a gateway device, and an in-vehicle network system.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the on-vehicle controllers 102 to 107 are connected to a sensor 121 and an actuator 122. Each of the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 is connected to one actuator. However, the number of sensors connected to each of the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 may be one or more. Each vehicle-mounted control apparatus 102-107 controls an actuator based on the information acquired from those sensors, or the information acquired from the network.

  The networks 111 to 113 are configured by a bus type network. Accordingly, in each of the networks 111 to 113, devices connected to the networks 111 to 113 can communicate with each other. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the in-vehicle control devices 102 and 103 can communicate with each other via the network 111, and the in-vehicle control devices 104 and 105 can communicate with each other via the network 112.

In the present embodiment, the following description will be given by taking as an example a case in which the in-vehicle control device 102 of the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 shown in FIG. In addition, since it may be the same as that of a structure and operation | movement shown in FIG. 2 also when the vehicle-mounted control apparatuses 103-107 are fault monitoring objects, the description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The in-vehicle control device 102 is connected to a network 111 as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the in-vehicle control device 102 includes an in-vehicle communication unit 201, a device input / output unit 202, a trigger notification unit 203, an abnormality detection unit 204, a buffer control unit 205, a data rate calculation unit 206, a log transmission control. Section 207, counter section 208, data buffer section 209, data rate recording section 210, and priority table section 211. Hereinafter, each of these parts will be described.

  The in-vehicle communication unit 201 is connected to the network 111. The in-vehicle communication unit 201 is a circuit that functions as an interface for transmitting and receiving data between the gateway device 101 and the other in-vehicle control devices 103 to 107 via the network 111.

  The device input / output unit 202 is connected to peripheral devices such as sensors and actuators mounted on the vehicle. The device input / output unit 202 is a circuit that functions as an interface for connecting the in-vehicle control apparatus 102 to these peripheral devices.

  The trigger notification unit 203 generates a trigger message including an ID indicating the type of abnormality and the relative time of occurrence of the trigger when an abnormality detection unit 204 described later detects an abnormality, and via the in-vehicle communication unit 201, Transmit to the gateway device 101.

  The abnormality detection unit 204 acquires sensor data from the sensor 121 (hereinafter referred to as sensor data) and actuator control data from the actuator 122 (hereinafter referred to as actuator control data) via the device input / output unit 202. To do. In addition, the abnormality detection unit 204 acquires status data and internal state data of the in-vehicle control device 102. Here, the status data is data representing the states of sensors, actuators, communication transceivers, CPUs and the like included in the in-vehicle control device. The internal state data is data such as software state transitions and flags of the in-vehicle control device. Thus, the abnormality detection unit 204 determines whether or not there is an unintended operation based on at least one of various data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status data, and internal state data. To do. If there is an unintended operation, it is detected and output as abnormal. An unintended operation detection method, that is, an abnormality detection method, for example, when a normal value range is set in advance for each of the various data, and when the data value deviates from the normal value range, It is determined that there is an abnormality. Alternatively, it is determined that there is an abnormality when data cannot be acquired. Alternatively, the abnormality may be detected by another method.

  The buffer control unit 205 acquires sensor data and actuator control data via the device input / output unit 202. Further, the buffer control unit 205 acquires status data and internal state data. Then, the buffer control unit 205 stores the sensor data and actuator control data in the data buffer unit 209 as “device input / output log” and the status data and internal state data as “internal state log”. Regardless of whether there is an abnormality by the abnormality detection unit 204, the buffer control unit 205 always performs storage processing of the device input / output log and the internal state log at a constant cycle. The device input / output log and the internal state log each include a relative time of data acquisition indicating the time at which data constituting the log is acquired, an ID indicating the type of data, and data contents. The buffer control unit 205 acquires the relative time of data acquisition from the counter unit 208 described later.

  The data rate calculation unit 206 acquires various data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status data, and internal state data, and calculates a data rate from the data acquisition interval and data size for each data, Store in the data rate recording unit 210. The data rate is the size of various data acquired per hour. For example, the calculation is performed by periodically dividing the total size of data acquired during predetermined times periodically by a predetermined time.

  The log transmission control unit 207 holds usable bandwidth information indicating a preset usable bandwidth. When the abnormality detection unit 204 detects an abnormality and the trigger notification unit 203 transmits a trigger message, the log transmission control unit 207 receives a trigger response message for the trigger message from the gateway device 101 via the in-vehicle communication unit 201. Then, the network load information of the network 111 is acquired from among them. Then, the log transmission control unit 207 obtains a surplus network bandwidth that is a difference between the available bandwidth information and the network load information. The surplus network bandwidth indicates a network bandwidth that can be used for log transmission to the gateway apparatus 101. Then, the log transmission control unit 207 is based on the surplus network bandwidth, the log data rate acquired from the data rate recording unit 210 described later, and the log priority acquired from the priority table unit 211 described later. Then, a log to be transmitted to the gateway apparatus 101 is selected, and a log message is generated and transmitted. The log message includes a data acquisition relative time, an ID indicating the type of log, and log data. Note that when selecting a log, for example, based on the data rate of the log, the log is selected in descending order of priority so as not to exceed the surplus network bandwidth.

  The counter unit 208 is composed of a software timer that counts up every fixed time (for example, 1 millisecond) from the time when the in-vehicle control device 102 is activated. Therefore, the counter unit 208 holds a relative time starting from the time when the in-vehicle control device 102 is activated as a counter value.

  The data buffer unit 209 is a storage element that temporarily stores a log acquired in the in-vehicle control device 102. The log types to be stored are the above-mentioned “device input / output log” and “internal status log”, and each log is based on the relative time of data acquisition, the ID indicating the log type, the data size, and the content of the data.

  The data rate recording unit 210 includes a storage element that holds a data rate. The data rate recording unit 210 stores the data rate calculated by the data rate calculation unit 206 for each data constituting the various logs of the “device input / output log” and “internal state log” described above. That is, the data rate recording unit 210 stores the data rate calculated by the data rate calculation unit 206 for each data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status data, and internal state data.

  The priority table unit 211 is a storage element that holds a priority table in which the priority of each type of log is set. In the priority table, an ID indicating the type of log and a numerical value indicating the priority of the log are stored in association with each other. Therefore, by referring to the priority table held by the priority table unit 211, the priority for each log can be acquired. The priority may be set not for each log but for each data constituting the log. That is, an ID indicating the type of data and a numerical value indicating the priority of the data may be stored in the priority table in association with each other.

  The in-vehicle control apparatus 102 is configured as described above, and normally stores the device input / output log and the internal state log in the data buffer unit 209 in a normal state. When the abnormality detection unit 204 detects an abnormality, the in-vehicle control device 102 determines the priority from the data buffer unit 209 based on the log data rate, the surplus network bandwidth, and the log priority. A device input / output log and an internal state log which are high and can be transmitted to the gateway apparatus 101 are selected and transmitted to the gateway apparatus 101.

  When the in-vehicle communication unit 306 receives a trigger message indicating that an abnormality is detected from the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 through the in-vehicle communication unit 201, the log accumulation control unit 302 receives a preset rule from the data buffer unit 308. The “communication log” for the amount traced back by time is acquired and stored in the log storage unit 303. Further, when the log accumulation control unit 302 receives the “device input / output log” and the “internal state log” as log messages from the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 via the in-vehicle communication unit 306, the log accumulation unit 302 Stored in 303.

  When the in-vehicle communication unit 306 receives a trigger message from the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107, the trigger control unit 304 returns a trigger response message to the trigger message, thereby logging in the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107. Request accumulation start. The trigger response message includes network load information of the network that has received the trigger message. The trigger control unit 304 acquires network load information from the load calculation unit 305. At the same time, the trigger control unit 304 extracts the relative time of data acquisition and the ID indicating the type of abnormality included in the received trigger message, and uses the absolute time acquired from the time measuring unit 301 as the absolute time of trigger generation. The time is added and stored in the log storage unit 303 as a “trigger log”.

  For each of the networks 111 to 113 to which the gateway apparatus 101 is connected, the load calculation unit 305 calculates a network load from the data size and the reception interval of the data received via the networks 111 to 113.

  The in-vehicle communication unit 306 is connected to the networks 111 to 113. The in-vehicle communication unit 306 is a circuit that functions as an interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from the in-vehicle control devices 102 to 107 via the networks 111 to 113.

The communication log includes a relative time of data acquisition, an ID indicating a message type, a transmission / reception direction, and data contents.

  The data buffer unit 308 is a storage element that temporarily stores a log acquired in the gateway device 101. The type of log to be stored is only “communication log”. The “communication log” includes a relative time of data acquisition, an ID indicating a message type, a transmission / reception direction, and data. The storage format of the data buffer unit 308 has a ring buffer structure, for example, and stores new logs while sequentially deleting old logs.

  The gateway apparatus 101 is configured as described above, and temporarily stores a communication log in the data buffer unit 308 during normal times. When an abnormality is detected, the gateway apparatus 101 accumulates the device input / output log and the internal state log received from the in-vehicle control apparatuses 102 to 107 in the log accumulation unit 303 together with the communication log and the trigger log.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow until the in-vehicle control device 102 according to the present embodiment detects an abnormality and transfers the process log to the gateway device 101. Hereinafter, based on FIG.2 and FIG.4, operation | movement of the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 102 is demonstrated.

  First, in step S401, the data rate calculation unit 206 acquires various data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status register, internal state data, and the data acquisition interval and data size for each type of acquired data. And calculate the data rate.

  In step S <b> 402, the buffer control unit 205 acquires various data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status data, and internal state data, and stores the various data in the data buffer unit 209. Specifically, sensor data and actuator control data are stored in the data buffer unit 209 as “device input / output log”, and status data and internal state data are stored as “internal state log”. The data buffer unit 209 has, for example, a ring buffer structure. When the buffer becomes full, old data is deleted and new data is stored.

  Next, in step S403, when the abnormality detection unit 204 determines whether there is an abnormality based on various data such as sensor data, actuator control data, status data, and internal state data, and determines that there is an abnormality. (Yes in S403), the trigger notification unit 203 is notified of the ID indicating the type of abnormality, and the process proceeds to step S404. In the abnormality detection method in step S403, for example, a normal value range is set in advance for each of the various data, and it is determined that there is an abnormality when the data value deviates from the normal value range. . Alternatively, it is determined that there is an abnormality when data cannot be acquired. Alternatively, the abnormality may be detected by another method. In addition, as types of abnormalities, for example, (1) the sensor 121 or the actuator 122 connected via the device input / output unit 202 does not operate, and (2) the acquired data deviates from a preset normal value range. However, not limited to these, other types may be defined as abnormal.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S403 that there is no abnormality (No in S403), the process returns to step S401, and the processes in steps S401 and S402 are repeatedly executed.

  In step S <b> 404, the trigger notification unit 203 acquires a counter value from the counter unit 208 as a relative trigger generation time. Then, the trigger notification unit 203 generates a trigger message using the counter value and the ID indicating the type of abnormality received from the abnormality detection unit 204, and the gateway device via the in-vehicle communication unit 201 101. The trigger message includes a relative time at which the trigger occurs and an ID indicating the type of abnormality.

  Next, in step S <b> 406, the log transmission control unit 207 confirms whether or not a trigger response message has been received from the gateway device 101 via the in-vehicle communication unit 201. The trigger response message includes network load information of the network 111 to which the in-vehicle control device 102 is connected. If the trigger response message is received (Yes in S406), the process proceeds to step S407. On the other hand, when the trigger response message has not been received (No in S406), the process returns to step S405.

  In step S407, the log transmission control unit 207 stores the surplus network bandwidth, which is the difference between the available bandwidth information held in advance and the current network load information, the data rate of the log acquired from the data rate recording unit 210, A log to be transmitted is selected based on the log priority acquired from the priority table unit 211. For example, a log having a high priority within a range not exceeding the surplus network bandwidth is selected as a log to be transmitted. The logs to be transmitted include a device input / output log and an internal status log.

  Next, in step S408, the log transmission control unit 207 acquires the device input / output log and internal state log selected in step S407 from the data buffer unit 209, and transmits the gateway as a log message via the in-vehicle communication unit 201. Send to device 101.

The data buffer unit 308 has, for example, a ring buffer structure. When the buffer becomes full, old data is deleted and new data is stored. Then, it returns to step S501 and continues the process.

  On the other hand, in step S505, the trigger control unit 304 acquires network load information of the network 111 from the load calculation unit 305 and generates a trigger response message in order to reply to the trigger message received in step S501. The trigger response message includes network load information of the network 111. The trigger control unit 304 transmits the trigger response message thus generated to the in-vehicle control device 102 via the in-vehicle communication unit 306. In addition, the trigger control unit 304 extracts the trigger generation relative time and the ID indicating the type of abnormality included in the trigger message received in step S501, and triggers the absolute time acquired from the time measuring unit 301 in these data. It is added as the absolute time of occurrence and stored in the log storage unit 303 as a “trigger log”.

  Next, in step S <b> 506, the log accumulation control unit 302 acquires a communication log from the data buffer unit 308 that is back by a preset time, and stores the communication log in the log accumulation unit 303.

  Next, in step S507, the in-vehicle communication unit 306 checks whether or not a message has been transmitted and received. If a message has been transmitted / received (Yes in S507), the process proceeds to step S508. On the other hand, if there is no message transmission / reception (No in S507), the process waits until the message is transmitted / received.

  In step S508, the in-vehicle communication unit 306 checks whether the message received in step S507 is a log message. The log message includes the device input / output log and the internal state log as described above. If it is a log message (Yes in S508), the process proceeds to step S510. On the other hand, if it is not a log message (No in S508), the process proceeds to step S509.

  In step S509, the buffer control unit 307 stores the data transmitted and received by the in-vehicle communication unit 306 in step S507 in the data buffer unit 308 as a communication log.

  On the other hand, in step S510, the log accumulation control unit 302 stores the device input / output log and the internal state log included in the log message in the log accumulation unit 303. The device input / output log and the internal state log each include a relative time of data acquisition, an ID indicating a message type, and data.

  Next, in step S511, the log accumulation control unit 302 determines that the log accumulation unit 303 has completed when the log accumulation unit 303 stores logs for a preset time from the reception of the trigger message (Yes in S511). Otherwise (No in S511), the process returns to step S507 and the process is continued.
