  • Publication number: 20210274124
    Abstract: A recording/reproducing device includes a captured data acquisition unit that acquires captured data, an event detection unit that detects occurrence of an event on a movable object, a recording control unit, a display unit that displays a video contained in event recording data, a line-of-sight detection unit, and a reproduction control unit. The recording control unit stores, as event recording data, the captured data for a predetermined period from at least part of the captured data on the basis of detection of an event. The line-of-sight detection unit detects that a user's line of sight is pointing towards the display unit. The reproduction control unit starts reproduction of the event recording data when it is detected that the user's line of sight is pointing towards the display unit within a predetermined period after detection of the event.

    Abstract: A first-temperature calculation unit calculates, as a first temperature, a maximum temperature within an image region captured by a far-infrared camera. A second-temperature acquisition unit acquires, as a second temperature, a surrounding temperature measured by a temperature sensor. An estimation unit estimates a surrounding environment on the basis of information on the second temperature acquired by the second-temperature acquisition unit and information on the first temperature calculated by the first-temperature calculation unit. A transmission unit transmits information on the surrounding environment estimated by the estimation unit.

  • Publication number: 20150012180
    Abstract: An electric power steering system includes a motor that generates an assist force; and an ECU that computes a basic current command value corresponding to the assist force, based on a steering torque, and that controls the motor based on the basic current command value and a stabilization current command value computed by an external SC controller so as to stabilize behavior of a vehicle when the behavior of the vehicle is unstable. When the stabilization current command value is input, the ECU determines whether the behavior of the vehicle is stable, and when it is determined that the behavior of the vehicle is stable, the ECU controls the motor based on the basic current command value without using the stabilization current command value.
