<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an in-vehicle communication system and an in-vehicle communication method, capable of estimating a state of consumables deterioration caused by acceleration/deceleration and travel distance of a vehicle by monitoring the acceleration and the travel distance, and notifying a user of the estimated state. <P>SOLUTION: A GW 10 receives vehicle speed information and travel distance information from a body-system ECU 30, and calculates the acceleration from the vehicle speed information. The calculated acceleration is converted into a numerical value on the basis of a numerical value conversion table, and the converted numerical value is accumulated and stored as cumulative value. Based on the cumulative value, the travel distance is converted into a numerical value and is added to the cumulative value. Notification information wherein the state of the consumables related to the acceleration/deceleration and the travel distance is estimated is produced. By transmitting the produced notification information to an HM unit 20, information about the consumables is outputted to the HM unit 20. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
