A method for vehicle diagnostics, a diagnostic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided in the present disclosure. In the method, the diagnostic device obtains a diagnostic request including vehicle information of a vehicle to-be-diagnosed, and determine a communication protocol which is applied in the vehicle to-be-diagnosed according to the vehicle information. After obtaining a diagnostic instruction including a diagnostic function instruction and a communication protocol corresponding to the diagnostic function instruction, the diagnostic device determines a communication link corresponding to the diagnostic function instruction according to the communication protocol corresponding to the diagnostic function instruction, sends the diagnostic function instruction to the vehicle to-be-diagnosed through the communication link corresponding to the diagnostic function instruction, obtains feedback data from the vehicle to-be-diagnosed, and performs diagnostics.

A serial communications bus system comprising a plurality of end users arranged to transmit data on a common data bus, each end user provided with a bus arbiter, physically separate from the respective end user, configured to define, for that end user, a cycle of transmission enable intervals whereby the end user may transmit data on the data bus and transmission disable intervals whereby the end user may not transmit data on the data bus.

Systems and methods for configuring the operation of recording devices that may be removably mounted to a mount. A mount may provide a unique identifier. The unique identifier may be used to select a configuration profile for configuring the operation of the recording device coupled to the mount. A recording device that is moved from one mount to another may receive a different profile in accordance with the identifier of the new mount to control the operation of the recording device while mounted to the new mount. A server may store, retrieve, and provide profiles to recording devices.

For automatic device addressing, a processor configures each node device on a serial network for an order measurement. The processor further measures an order parameter for each of the node devices. The processor determines an order number of each of the node devices based on the order parameter for the node device.

A device for a serial bus system. The device includes a receiver for receiving a signal from a bus of the bus system, in which bus system at least one first communication phase and one second communication phase are used for exchanging messages between user stations of the bus system. For a message, the bus states of the signal received from the bus in the first communication phase are different from bus states of the signal received in the second communication phase. The receiver is designed to generate a digital signal from the signal received from the bus and to output the signal to a communication control device which evaluates data contained in the digital signal. The receiver uses a first reception threshold and a second reception threshold in each of the communication phases for generating the digital signal, and the second reception threshold has a negative voltage value.

A method for automatic address configuration, router, computer program, computer-readable medium and method for automatically configuring a router that has an upstream interface, connected or connectable to a higher-level subnetwork and/or a higher-level router, and a downstream interface, connected or connectable to a lower-level subnetwork, wherein whether the router receives, on the upstream interface, messages providing notification of at least one domain as part of a DNS search list option, is monitored and, if the message is not received over a prescribed period, a DNS island mode is automatically activated in which the DNS zone of a local DNS server of the router is configured using a predefined island domain, and a transmission module of the router is prompted to send a message via the downstream interface, which message includes the preconfigured island domain as part of a DNS search list option, preferably an address of the downstream interface.

An information processing device which transmits and receives a message to which a communication ID indicating a class has been assigned, includes: a storage unit which stores, for each of the communication IDs, a communication counter for verifying a recency of a communication; a recency information management unit which updates the communication counter based on a predetermined condition; an abnormality monitoring unit which identifies an influence range of an abnormality that occurred; and a message generation unit which generates a synchronization request message including the communication ID indicating that it is a message requesting a synchronization of the communication counter, and a synchronization target identifier indicating the influence range identified by the abnormality monitoring unit.

An object of the present invention is to accumulate data in an ECU related to a CAN message transmitted by an ECU in a CAN system. An ECU according to the present invention is an ECU among a plurality of ECUs connected to a CAN communication line, the ECU includes a transmission unit configured to transmit first CAN messages to other ECUs of the plurality of ECUs, and an accumulation unit configured to accumulate CANIDs of the plurality of first CAN messages transmitted by the transmission unit as transmission CANIDs.

Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for operating a port manager to detect a first link condition or a second link condition of a circuitry. Under the first link condition, a first link between a downstream port of the circuitry and an upstream port of a switch is compatible to a first protocol, and a second link between a downstream port of the switch and an upstream port of a device is compatible to the second protocol. Under the second link condition, the first link exists and is compatible to the first protocol, while there is no second link being compatible to the second protocol. The port manager is to operate the downstream port of the circuitry according to the second protocol on detection of the first link condition, or according to the first protocol on detection of the second link condition. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
