First Claim
1. A vehicle diagnostic data collecting apparatus in which, in a state of being connected detachably from exterior to an in-vehicle network having a plurality of electronic control units, a data request signal for requesting driving parameter data indicative of operating states of respective components of a vehicle is transmitted to at least one target electronic control unit of the plurality of electronic control units, and the driving parameter data corresponding to the data request signal is received and stored in a data storage unit, the data collecting apparatus comprising:
- a type setting unit configured to set a type of electronic control unit;
the data item storage unit configured to store items of the driving parameter data in association with identifying information of the plurality of electronic control units, the driving parameter data items being capable of being output by each of the plurality of electronic control units;
a collection item setting unit configuredto query a vehicle as to whether or not an identified electronic control unit is installed as an installed electronic control unit,to identify, when the identified electronic control unit is determined to be installed, the installed electronic control unit as a target electronic control unit for each type of target electronic control unit set by the type setting unit,to read out the driving parameter data items capable of being output by the installed electronic control unit that was identified as the target electronic control unit from the data item storage unit based on identifying information of the installed electronic control unit, andto set the driving parameter data items as collection items; and
a data collecting manager configured to transmit to the target electronic control unit the data request signal for requesting the driving parameter data corresponding to the collection items, and to receive and store in the data storage unit the driving parameter data corresponding to the data request signal.

Abstract
A data collecting apparatus sets types of target ECUs, and stores, in a storage unit, driving parameter data items, which are capable of being output by a plurality of ECUs, in association with IDs of the plurality of ECUs. Subsequently, for each of the aforementioned types, a query is made to a vehicle as to whether an installed ECU exists, and the installed ECU is identified as a target ECU. Thereafter, based on the ID of the installed ECU, driving parameter data items capable of being output by the installed ECU that was identified as the target ECU are set as collection items.

6. A vehicle diagnostic data collecting method using a data collecting apparatus in which, in a state of being connected detachably from exterior to an in-vehicle network having a plurality of electronic control units, a data request signal for requesting driving parameter data indicative of operating states of respective components of a vehicle is transmitted to at least one target electronic control unit of the plurality of electronic control units, and the driving parameter data corresponding to the data request signal is received and stored in a storage unit,
wherein the data collecting apparatus performs: -
a type setting process for setting a type of electronic control unit; the storing process for storing, in the storage unit, items of the driving parameter data in association with identifying information of the plurality of electronic control units, the driving parameter data items being capable of being output by each of the plurality of electronic control units; a collection item setting process for querying a vehicle as to whether or not an identified electronic control unit is installed, identifying, when the identified electronic control unit is determined to be installed, the installed electronic control unit as a target electronic control unit for each type of target electronic control unit set by the type setting process, reading out the driving parameter data items capable of being output by the installed electronic control unit that was identified as the target electronic control unit, from the storage unit based on identifying information of the installed electronic control unit, and setting the driving parameter data items as collection items; and a data collecting process for transmitting to the target electronic control unit the data request signal for requesting the driving parameter data corresponding to the collection items, and receiving and storing in the storage unit the driving parameter data corresponding to the data request signal.
