Abstract
Updating software in consideration of a preceding software update state is performed in an electronic control unit of a vehicle. A server communicates with a software update apparatus that updates software of an in-vehicle control device. The server includes a software update sequence control unit that manages a software update to the in-vehicle control device. When a subsequent second software update is registered in the server during an application of a preceding first software update to the in-vehicle control device, the software update sequence control unit determines whether to interrupt the application of the first software update and start an application of the second software update to the in-vehicle control device based on information relating to the application of the first software update, information relating to the application of the second software update, and an update processing state of the first software update to the in-vehicle control device.
