ON-VEHICLE RELAY DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM

An on-vehicle relay device comprises a control unit selectively executing a control program stored in a storage or an update processing program, and the control unit specifies, in executing the control program, a first communication unit to which any one of the on-vehicle ECUs as a relay destination is connected with reference to network configuration information stored in a storage, specifying, in executing the update processing program, a second communication unit for communicating with an external device that performs update-related processing of the control program with reference to network configuration information stored in the storage; and prohibiting communication through a communication unit other than the specified communication unit.
