Abstract: In cases in which a confidence score of an inferred intent label is a predetermined threshold or less, an intent inference section searches for whether or not wording pertaining to a location, such as “on the door”, is present in a question. In cases in which a word relating to a location is present, the intent inference section consults individual function identification data associated with OM item codes in order to find intent labels including individual functions relevant to the location (such as “door”). In cases in which an intent label including an individual function relevant to the “door” is found, an OMA interaction control section consults QA data to find and acquire associated response information based on the found intent label and the OM item code, and notifies a HMI interaction control section of such response information.

Abstract: An agent device receives input information that is input by the user, in a case in which the input information is a question from the user, executes inference processing on the input information to infer an intent of the question in order to acquire a response to the question based on the intent, in a case in which a plurality of the responses are acquired, provides the notification device with option information that includes the plurality of responses as options, in a case in which new input information is received, determines whether the new input information is information requiring the inference processing or is selection information relating to a selection result from selection of the options, and in a case in which the new input information is the selection information, provides the notification device with response information regarding the response associated with the selection result without executing the inference processing.

Abstract: An agent device that receives, from an onboard device installed in a vehicle, vehicle information relating to the vehicle and question information corresponding to a question from a user, based on the vehicle information, confirms a scope of questions for which generation of a response is not possible, and instructs the onboard device to block receipt of questions falling within the scope of questions for which it has been confirmed that response generation is not possible.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller acquires a user condition that is a condition for a user to be a target to whom an object is to be kept secret. The controller determines whether a user matching the user condition is likely to take a target vehicle transporting the object.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information on a scheduled time for loading an article onto a vehicle. The controller is configured to acquire a predicted number of passengers on the vehicle at the scheduled time. The controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle has space for the article at the scheduled time.

Abstract: A connection structure for a fuel pressure sensor that connects a fuel pressure sensor for detecting a pressure of a fuel to a fuel rail in which the fuel to be supplied to an internal-combustion engine flows, includes a tubular attachment boss that is formed in the fuel rail and includes a male screw portion and an abutting surface, an attachment portion that is provided in a sensor body of the fuel pressure sensor, and includes a contact surface that abuts to the abutting surface and a bearing surface provided behind the contact surface, and a nut including a female screw portion that is screwed on the male screw portion and a pressing portion that presses the bearing surface to the abutting surface by screwing the female screw portion on the male screw portion.

Abstract: An agent system includes a first memory and a first processor coupled to the first memory. The first processor analyzes contents of a verbal question, and carries out pre-processing that replaces vocabulary, which is used in the contents of the question, with homogenized vocabulary, and generates response information based on results of analysis. In a case in which there exists substitution vocabulary that has replaced original vocabulary in the pre-processing, the first processor changes the response information such that it can be recognized that the substitution vocabulary in the response information is synonymous with the original vocabulary, and outputs the response information.

Abstract: The flexibility of the attachment angle and attachment interval of the member (e.g., injector) attached to the joint member is increased to improve the flexibility of layout even in the case of the forged rail for high-pressure direct injection. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced while keeping high strength of the joint portion. A rail body 1 manufactured by forging, the rail body 1 having a through hole 4 opened on a wall surface 3 for communicating a fuel passage 2 extending in an axial direction with an outside; and a tubular joint member 6 manufactured separately from the rail 1 body and fixed to the rail body 1 at a position of the through hole 4 for allowing a fuel to flow from the fuel passage 2 through the through hole 4 are provided.

Abstract: An information processing device acquires question information. The information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing a state of the vehicle. The information processing device acquires answer information in response to the question information, the answer information including an image for display. The information processing device, in a case in which the vehicle state information represents that the vehicle is traveling, stores the answer information in a storage. The information processing device, in a case in which the information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing that the vehicle is stopped, outputs the answer information stored in the storage.

Abstract: An agent device executes processing including receiving words and actions from an occupant of a vehicle, identifying an intention of the received words and actions, selecting, as a recommended function, a function of the vehicle that is recommended for activation based on the identified intention of the vehicle occupant, deciding which of activating the selected recommended function, or suggesting the activation thereof, to execute based on predetermined conditions pertaining to an environment of the vehicle, and instructing the vehicle either to activate the recommended function or to suggest the activation thereof based on the decision.

Abstract: A vehicle agent device receives utterance information from an on-board unit, analyzes the content of the utterance, detects, as a non-installed function from a database, a function that an occupant intended to utilize but which was not installed and is installable, generates proposal information for furnishing the occupant with information relating to the non-installed function it detected, and sends the proposal information that has been generated to the on-board unit to thereby send the information relating to the non-installed function to a preregistered mobile device carried by the occupant.

Abstract: A vehicle agent device receives a captured image and vehicle information from an on-board unit, identifies an occupant from the captured image, specifies attributes of the occupant it identified, searches for vehicle functions corresponding to the attributes it specified, and sends, as description information to an on-board unit, a moving image that introduces the vehicle functions.

Abstract: A target value obtaining section obtains a target value for the difference in rotational motion between a first motor and a second motor and a target value for output torque. A torque command value calculating section calculates a torque command value for the first motor and a torque command value for the second motor that achieve both of the target value for the difference in rotational motion and the target value for the output torque by using an inverse model of a motion model corresponding to a merging system.
