  • Patent number: 10146227
    Abstract: An in-vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes an automatic garage leaving control unit that performs automatic garage leaving cooperation control in which the automatic garage leaving control unit cooperates with a shutter control apparatus to cause a vehicle to automatically leave the garage. The automatic garage leaving control unit acquires vehicle surrounding information on presence or absence of abnormality around the vehicle when the automatic garage leaving control unit accepts an automatic garage leaving request signal, transmits an open request signal requesting to open a shutter to the shutter control apparatus when the automatic garage leaving control unit determines based on the vehicle surrounding information that a space around the vehicle is safe, and suspends the automatic garage leaving cooperation control when the automatic garage leaving control unit determines that abnormality is present around the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180211230
    Abstract: An information providing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, a determination unit, and a proposal unit. The acquisition unit acquires plan information on a plan of a user. The extraction unit extracts one or more events. The one or more events are able to be performed by a start time point of the plan in the plan information acquired by the acquisition unit. The determination unit determines, on the basis of a type of the plan in the plan information acquired by the acquisition unit, whether or not performances of the one or more events extracted by the extraction unit are appropriate for carrying out the plan. The proposal unit proposes at least one event among the extracted one or more events to the user on the basis of a result determined by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 9922558
    Abstract: A driving support device is connected with a control device, a positioning unit and a driver-state detection device, and communicates with dangerous-spot analysis device, the control device outputting a behavior signal indicating that a dangerous behavior of a vehicle occurred, the dangerous-spot analysis device outputting driver information indicating a state of a driver of the vehicle, the dangerous-spot analysis device. The driving support device includes: a dangerous-spot notification unit; a state judgment unit that acquires the driver information from the driver-state detection device and that judges whether the state of the driver is a state of increasing a risk, based on the driver information; and a warning unit that warns in a case where there is a possibility of passing through the risky spot specified by the dangerous-spot analysis device and where the state judgement unit judges that the state of the driver is the state of increasing the risk.
