  • Publication number: 20220383567
    Abstract: A head-up display device that is configured to allow a driver to intuitively recognize a plurality of objects sequentially along a travel route of a vehicle while projecting a video onto an image forming plane that has a length in the vertical direction shorter than a length in the horizontal direction. An optical processor of the head-up display device obtains from a controller a first image signal based on the nearest road sign information and a second image signal based on the following road sign information along the travel route. The optical processor causes line segment objects as well as information objects generated from the first image signal and the second image signal, respectively, to be displayed on an image forming plane.

  • Patent number: 10168532
    Abstract: There are provided right and left side-rearward cameras, an inside camera to detect a driver's eyeball position, main HUDs comprising projectors to form virtual images by projecting image information picked up by the cameras to reflecting mirrors and drive portions to adjust positions of the virtual images, and a ECU to control the projectors and the drive portions. The controller is configured to perform the process of calculating a distance between the eyeball position and a normal virtual-image display position which is located at a front end and an end portion, in a vehicle width direction, of a bonnet, and controlling the main HUDs such that a normal main view v1 is displayed at the normal virtual-image display position.

  • Patent number: 8413767
    Abstract: There is provided an elevator operation control device in which for an elevator provided with a destination floor reservation device in an elevator hall, disadvantages can be overcome reliably that a user who observes a predetermined riding rule cannot ride on the elevator because of a user who does not observe the riding rule and that the operation efficiency of elevator is lowered. For this purpose, the destination floor reservation device is provided in an elevator hall so that a user registers his/her own destination floor using the destination floor reservation device. Also, when a car stops at the elevator hall, a non-reservation user riding on the car without registering the destination floor using the destination floor reservation device is detected based on the information on the user having registered the destination floor using the destination floor reservation device and the information on the user in the car.

  • Publication number: 20120228066
    Abstract: A group control system includes a destination operating panel by use of which a user registers a destination floor by manual operation before boarding an elevator car and an authentication device by use of which a user performs personal authentication by inputting personal identification information. The destination floor registration from the destination operating panel is prohibited with respect to prescribed prohibited floors and when personal authentication has been carried out by the authentication device, the prohibition of destination floor registration with respect to prohibited floors is canceled. The group controller assigns an optimum car from a plurality of elevators to the destination floor registered from the destination operating panel. In the elevator group control system, it becomes possible for a user to register his or her destination floor before boarding an elevator car without lowering the level of security of the system.

  • Publication number: 20120145488
    Abstract: An elevator operating apparatus including a destination floor reservation device. The destination floor reservation device is placed distant from an elevator hall so that the user can register personal information and destination floor from the destination floor reservation device before getting on an elevator car. An input device for the user to input the personal information is installed at the elevator hall. When the destination floor is registered from the destination floor reservation device, the elevator car is arranged at the boarding floor. After the elevator car has been arranged at the boarding floor, during the time when a person having not inputted the personal information from the input device is present among the users having registered the personal information from the destination floor reservation device, the elevator car is caused to wait at the boarding floor while the door thereof is open.
