Method and apparatus for updating routing information in in-vehicle communication network

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for updating routing information in an in-vehicle communications network. A gateway for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a multiple routing database (RDB) configuration database to record share configuration information including at least one rule for protocol conversion and individual configuration information; an RDB look-up table database to record a detailed protocol conversion scheme corresponding to the rule; an RDB configuration management module to configure a predetermined merge list by extracting a protocol conversion rule to be used in a corresponding vehicle with reference to the multiple routing database (RDB) configuration database and the RDB look-up table database; a message and signal routing management module to perform a protocol conversion for a received message or signal with reference to the merge list and the RDB look-up table database; and first to N-th communications interface modules which receive the message or signal, and transmit the protocol converted message or signal to a communications interface corresponding to the converted protocol. Accordingly, the present invention provides the gateway for the vehicle which may more efficiently update routing information.
