Patent Images
1. A vehicle mounted communication unit which communicates with a server terminal providing service for a vehicle via a mobile communication network for receiving provision of the service, the vehicle mounted communication unit comprising:
- a main control unit configured to control the vehicle mounted communication unit and including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM; and
a communication module including a communication control unit, which includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and a communication unit performing communication through the mobile communication network under control of the communication control unit,wherein the main control unit includesa communication abnormality detecting unit detecting a communication abnormality of the communication via the communication module when communication connection cannot be performed at any of plural elements including the server terminal, the mobile communication network, and the communication module, anda restoration execution unit executing restoration operation performed by resetting an operation state of the communication module at a timing when the communication abnormality is detected by the communication abnormality detecting unit, and the restoration execution unit starting the restoration operation at a different timing depending on at which element communication connection cannot be performed.
