  • Patent number: 11650063
    Abstract: An information processor includes a route evaluation unit, a route selection unit, and a course creation unit. The route evaluation unit calculates route evaluation points for each of proposed routes in each of segments, on the basis of a condition of a road in the relevant one of the proposed routes. The segments are coupled between respective two nearest neighbors of a sequence from a starting point to a destination point through one or more via-points. The route selection unit selects, on the basis of the route evaluation points, one proposed route from the proposed routes for each of the segments. The course creation unit connects the proposed routes selected by the route selection unit, to create a course from the starting point to the destination point.

  • Patent number: 11619507
    Abstract: An information processor includes a setting unit, a course creation unit, a course evaluation unit, and a course setting unit. The setting unit sets a starting point, one or more via-points, and a destination point. The course creation unit creates a course serially coupled between the starting point, the one or more via-points, and the destination point set by the setting unit. The course evaluation unit calculates course evaluation points based on a predetermined evaluation criterion, with respect to the course created by the course creation unit. The course setting unit sets the course as a proposed course for route guidance, on the basis of the course evaluation points.

  • Publication number: 20220196961
    Abstract: An image relay device that projects laser light representing an image emitted from a projection device onto the retina is provided. The image relay device includes a projection device, a first optical member, and a second optical member. The projection device includes a light source configured to emit laser light and a scan unit configured to scan the laser light based on image data. The first optical member receives an image light from the projection device and converts the image light which is a parallel light, to light beams of convergent light. The second optical member converts the light beams output from the first optical member into parallel light.

  • Publication number: 20210063190
    Abstract: An information processor includes an acquisition unit, a course setting unit, a registration unit, a detection unit, a first determination unit, and a controller. The acquisition unit acquires information regarding a via-point. The course setting unit sets a course from a starting point to a destination point through the via-point. The registration unit performs registration processing. The registration processing includes associating sound data with the via-point. The first determination unit determines whether or not a current position detected by the detection unit is within a predetermined range from the via-point. The controller makes an output control of the sound data associated by the registration processing, on the basis of a determination result by the first determination unit.

    Abstract: A steering device includes: first and second turning motors each applying a force for moving a rack shaft for turning wheels of a vehicle; and first and second controllers respectively controlling driving of the first and second motors. When driving force of either one of the first and second motors is sufficient as a force to be applied to the rack shaft, either one of the first and second controllers that controls driving of the one of the motors drives the one of the motors and when driving force of the one of the motors is insufficient as a force to be applied to the rack shaft, the other of the controllers drives the other of the motors in addition to driving of the one of the motors.

  • Patent number: 9387736
    Abstract: A system for detecting deflated tires by making a relative comparison among rotation speeds of tires attached to a vehicle. The system includes a rotation speed information detection means for detecting rotation speed information of the tires; a rotation speed calculation means for calculating rotation speeds of the tires; and a determination means for determining deflated tires by comparing a decreased pressure determination value using the calculated rotation speeds with a predetermined threshold value. The determination means determines that the vehicle is going straight when it is found, with regard to factors composed of a lateral G, a yaw rate, and a steering angle of the vehicle, at least two of the factors including the yaw rate show that a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value at a predetermined time is lower than a predetermined value, thereby detecting deflated tires.
