METHOD FOR MANAGING SOFTWARE RELATED TO HARDWARE MOUNTED ONTO VEHICLE AND SYSTEM USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for managing software related to hardware mounted onto a vehicle, comprising steps of:
- (a) a processor allowing a peripheral detector to recognize new hardware, acquire meta information on the hardware, and transmit the acquired meta information to a software coordinator, if the hardware is mounted onto the vehicle;
(b) the processor allowing the software coordinator or a cloud communicator connected with the software coordinator to determine whether software related to the hardware exists in a storage device in the vehicle by referring to the meta information transmitted to the software coordinator; and
(c) the processor allowing the software coordinator or the cloud communicator (i) to access information on the software if the software is determined to exist in the storage device in the vehicle or (ii) to access the software by acquiring it from a server and storing it in the storage device in the vehicle if the software is determined not to exist in the storage device in the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for managing software related to hardware mounted onto a vehicle is provided. The method includes, comprising steps of: allowing a peripheral detector to recognize new hardware, acquire meta information on the hardware, and transmit the acquired meta information to a software coordinator, if the hardware is mounted onto the vehicle; allowing the software coordinator or a cloud communicator connected with the software coordinator to determine whether software related to the hardware exists in a storage device in the vehicle by referring to the meta information; and allowing the software coordinator or the cloud communicator (i) to access information on the software if the software is determined to exist in the storage device in the vehicle or (ii) to access the software by acquiring it from a server and storing it in the storage device if the software is determined not to exist in the storage device.

11. A vehicle system for managing software related to hardware mounted onto a vehicle, comprising:
-
a processor for (i) allowing a peripheral detector to recognize new hardware, acquire meta information on the hardware and transmit the acquired meta information to a software coordinator if the hardware is mounted onto the vehicle, and (ii) allowing the software coordinator or a cloud communicator connected with the software coordinator to determine whether software related to the hardware exists in a storage device in the vehicle by referring to the meta information transmitted to the software coordinator; and a communication part for (i) allowing information on the software to be accessed if the software is determined to exist or (ii) acquiring the software from a server and store it in the storage device in the vehicle to access if the software is determined not to exist in the storage device in the vehicle, by using a communication module included in the software coordinator or the cloud communicator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
