Control system, relay device and control method
First Claim
1. A control system that is mounted on a moving object includes:
- an observing device that observes surroundings of the moving object and transmits observation result data indicating an observation result;
a first control instruction device that determines control contents based on the observation result data transmitted from the observing device, and transmits first control data indicating the determined control contents;
a movement control device that controls movement of the moving object; and
a relay device that relays the observation result data transmitted from the observing device, to the first control instruction device,wherein when a second control instruction device that determines control contents based on the observation result data and transmits second control data indicating the determined control contents is provided to the control system, the relay device transmits the observation result data, to the second control instruction device instead of the first control instruction device.

Abstract
A control system 9 according to the present invention is mounted on a moving object. The control system 9 includes: an observing device 92 which transmits observation result data indicating an observation result of surroundings of the moving object; a first control instruction device 91 which transmits first control data indicating the control contents determined based on the observation result data; a movement control device 93 which controls movement of the moving object; and a relay device 95 which relays the first control data transmitted from the first control instruction device 91, to the movement control device 93. When a second control instruction device 94 which transmits second control data indicating the control contents determined based on the observation result data is provided to the control system 9, the relay device 95 transmits the second control data instead of the first control data, to the movement control device 93.

5. A relay device that relays data to be transmitted and received in a moving object, the relay device being configured to:
-
receive observation result data indicating an observation result of surroundings of the moving object, from an observing device, relay the observation result data to a first control instruction device that determines control contents of the moving object based on the observation result data, receive first control data indicating the control contents of the moving object, from the first control instruction device, and relay the first control data to a movement control device that controls the moving object, wherein when a second control instruction device that determines control contents based on the relayed observation result data and transmits second control data indicating the determined control contents is provided to the moving object, the relay device transmits the observation result data to the second control instruction device instead of the first control instruction device and transmits the second control data instead of the first control data, to the movement control device.

6. A control method that is performed in a moving object, includes:
-
a first transmitting step of, at an observing device, observing surroundings of the moving object, and transmitting observation result data indicating an observation result; a relaying step of relaying the observation result data transmitted from the observing device, to a first control instruction device; a second transmitting step of, at the first control instruction device, determining control contents of the moving object based on the transmitted observation result data, and transmitting first control data indicating the determined control contents; and a controlling step of, at a movement control device, controlling movement of the moving object based on the transmitted control data, wherein when a second control instruction device that determines control contents based on the observation result data and transmits second control data indicating the determined control contents is provided to the moving object, the observation result data is transmitted to the second control instruction device instead of the first control instruction device in the relaying step.
