Publication number: 20240105185Abstract: An agent system includes a microphone, a speaker, an interpretation unit, a memory, and a control processor. The microphone collects voices of occupants in the interior of a vehicle compartment of a vehicle. The speaker outputs a voice sound to the interior of the vehicle compartment. The interpretation unit acquires the voices of the occupants collected by the microphone and interprets contents of utterances of the occupants included in the voices acquired. The memory stores data on the utterances interpreted by the interpretation unit and data on the respective occupants who are utterers of the utterances associated with each other. The control processor designates an occupant who has uttered most frequently among the occupants as a listener based on the data stored in the memory, determines topics to be outputted to the listener, and performs control to output the topics as the voice sound via the speaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Tsukasa MIKUNI, Takuya HOMMA, Junichi MOTOYAMA, Ryota NAKAMURA, Kazuhiro HAYAKAWA

Publication number: 20240089701Abstract: A vehicle serving as a first vehicle includes a communicator, an identification unit, a collector, and a notification unit. The communicator communicates with one or more second vehicles upon occurrence of a multiple-vehicle accident involving multiple vehicles. The one or more second vehicles include the vehicles involved in the multiple-vehicle accident. The identification unit uniquely identifies a vehicle that is to issue an emergency notification by communicating with the one or more second vehicles. The collector collects accident information from the one or more second vehicles when the first vehicle corresponds to the vehicle that is to issue the emergency notification. The notification unit notifies an emergency notification center of the accident information collected by the collector as notification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Junichi MOTOYAMA, Kazuhiro HAYAKAWA, Ryota NAKAMURA, Tsukasa MIKUNI, Takuya HOMMA

Publication number: 20240089717Abstract: A vehicle includes a determination unit, an authentication unit, a collector, an information generator, and a control processor. The determination unit determines whether multiple persons have been involved in an accident. The authentication unit performs vehicle-side possessor authentication to authenticate whether a portable device authenticated by portable device-side possessor authentication as is portable device owned by a driver. When the multiple persons have been involved in the accident and the portable device authenticated by the portable device-side possessor authentication corresponds to a portable device that is to send accident information to an emergency notification center, the collector collects information relevant to the accident from other vehicles involved in the accident. The information generator sorts out the information relevant to the accident to generate the accident information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ryota NAKAMURA, Tsukasa MIKUNI, Takuya HOMMA, Junichi MOTOYAMA, Kazuhiro HAYAKAWA

Publication number: 20240087449Abstract: A server apparatus includes a collection unit, an identification unit, an ID information generation unit, a storage, a determination unit, and a notification unit. The collection unit performs, when an accident occurs, communication connection with a surrounding vehicle including an accident vehicle or a portable device and collect accident information therefrom. The identification unit identifies the accident vehicle based on the collected accident information. The ID information generation unit generates ID information for the accident associated with information regarding the identified accident vehicle. The storage holds a database in which the ID information and the accident information are associated with each other. The determination unit determines that the accident involves multiple vehicles when the database includes multiple pieces of the identical ID information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kazuhiro HAYAKAWA, Ryota NAKAMURA, Junichi MOTOYAMA, Tsukasa MIKUNI, Takuya HOMMA

Publication number: 20240089700Abstract: A server apparatus determines whether a vehicle without an emergency notification system is included in accident vehicles based on image data received from peripheral vehicles or peripheral portable devices. When the vehicle without the emergency notification system is included, the server acquires position data on a vehicle having issued an emergency notification. The server requests a base station covering the acquired position to send an information provision request to vehicles and portable devices present in a set target area. The server collects accident information from the peripheral vehicles and the peripheral portable devices, and collects information from the vehicles and the portable devices present in the set target area. The extractor extracts accident information from the information collected from the vehicles or the portable devices present in the set target area based on the position data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kazuhiro HAYAKAWA, Ryota NAKAMURA, Junichi MOTOYAMA, Tsukasa MIKUNI, Takuya HOMMA
