DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE, ON-VEHICLE TERMINAL DEVICE, AND CENTER
First Claim
1. A data communication system for a vehicle, which executes data communication between the vehicle and a center through a data updating unit of an energy refilling device when energy is refilled from the energy refilling device to the vehicle, whereinthe vehicle comprises an on-vehicle terminal device comprising:
- a communication possibility detecting unit which detects that communication with the data updating unit of the energy refilling device is possible;
a receiving unit which receives, when the communication possibility detecting unit detects that communication is possible, data from the center through the data updating unit of the energy refilling device;
a memory which stores data received by the receiving unit;
an interruption judging unit which judges whether or not there are data for which reception has been interrupted, based on data stored in the memory; and
a transmitting unit which transmits, when the interruption judging unit judges that there are data for which reception has been interrupted and the communication possibility detecting unit detects that communication is possible, a distribution request of remaining data of the interrupted reception to the center, andthe center comprises;
a receiving unit which receives the distribution request;
a memory which stores the distribution request received by the receiving unit of the center; and
a transmitting unit which transmits the remaining data of the interrupted reception to the on-vehicle terminal device based on the distribution request stored in the memory of the center.

Abstract
A controller of a navigation device judges whether or not there are data for which reception has been interrupted, based on data stored in a memory. When there are data for which reception has been interrupted, a distribution request of remaining data of the interrupted reception is transmitted to a center (50) through a data updating unit (310). A memory (55) of the center (50) stores the distribution request of the remaining data for which reception has been interrupted, which is transmitted from the navigation device (110). A controller (57) extracts the remaining data from the memory (55) based on the distribution request stored in the memory (55), and transmits the remaining data to the navigation device (110) through the data updating unit (310). After energy such as fuel is refilled, the user does not need to wait until the completion of the data communication.
