Inspection apparatus, inspection system, and inspection method
First Claim
1. An inspection apparatus configured to inspect operation of an ECU coupled to automotive networks, the inspection apparatus comprising:
- an inspection performance control unit configured to transmit two pieces of data including operation-inspection data and security-check data used for inspecting the operation of the ECU, to the ECU, and configured to receive data output from the ECU,wherein the operation-inspection data is data previously generated based on design information of the ECU,the security-check data is data including part or entirety of the operation-inspection data replaced with random data, andreception of the operation-inspection data and the security-check data at the ECU is configured to cause the ECU to operate according to the operation-inspection data and the security-check data and to output inspection data.

Abstract
There are provided an inspection apparatus, an inspection system, and an inspection method capable of inspecting operation of a control device, accurately, during use.
An inspection apparatus configured to inspect operation of an ECU coupled to automotive networks, includes an inspection performance control unit configured to transmit two pieces of data including operation-inspection data and security-check data used for inspecting the operation of the ECU, to the ECU, and configured to receive data output from the ECU. The operation-inspection data is data previously generated based on design information of the ECU. The security-check data is data including part or entirety of the operation-inspection data replaced with random data.
