Relay connector unit and electronic device control system
First Claim
1. A relay connector unit for communicating an electronic control unit with a plurality of electronic devices, comprising:
- a first connecting unit for connecting to the electronic control unit;
a second connecting unit having a plurality of circuits for connecting to the electronic devices respectively; and
a transferring unit connected to the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit,wherein the transferring unit is configured to transmit first information received by the first connecting unit from the electronic control unit to at least one of the electronic devices through a corresponding circuit connected to the at least one of the electronic devices, on the basis of circuit identifying data included in first information, the circuit identifying data indicating the corresponding circuit to be transferred to or from; and
wherein the transferring unit is configured to append the circuit identifying data to second information received from one of the electronic devices through the corresponding circuit to transmit the second information to the electronic control unit through the first connecting unit.
