  • Patent number: 11573826
    Abstract: A control system includes a management unit configured to control a power supply device toward a target value for an output performance value of the power supply device that supplies power to a predetermined device, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire information related to a post-shutdown task scheduled to be executed after a shutdown condition of the predetermined device is satisfied, in which the management unit refers to the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and, when the post-shutdown task is scheduled to be executed, sets the target value to a second target value which is higher than a first target value set when the post-shutdown task is scheduled to be executed, before the shutdown condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20180073479
    Abstract: A power supply device for a vehicle includes: a first power supply; a second power supply which is connected to a starter, configured to start a power source, in parallel with the first power supply; and a control unit which is configured to control a starter switch configured to connect/disconnect the starter to/from any of the first power supply and the second power supply and, if the first power supply deteriorates as compared with a predetermined state, performs control to make or decrease a voltage value of the second power supply equal to or lower than a predetermined voltage value before setting the starter switch at a closed state.

  • Patent number: 9091563
    Abstract: An in-vehicle navigation apparatus to support sharing of electric vehicle charging point information such that other electric vehicles can use a charging point where its own electric vehicle is charged. If the in-vehicle navigation apparatus determines that a current position is a charging point on the basis of charge information about an electric vehicle, the navigation apparatus determines whether the charging point has public availability by referring to facility information, such as facility positions in map data stored in a map data storage unit. The in-vehicle navigation apparatus may transmit charging points having public availability to a server apparatus and not transmit the charging points having no public availability to the server apparatus. Vehicles may download charging points uploaded by other vehicles.

  • Patent number: 8190666
    Abstract: A random number generation device including a first random number generation part which generates a new random number based on a random number which was previously generated and which outputs the random number generated by the first random number generation part, the random number generation device includes: a second random number generation part which generates a random number different from the random number generated by the first random number generation part; and an operation part which outputs a random number obtained by a prescribed operation using a random number generated by the second random number generation part on a random number generated by the first random number generation part when generating a first random number after start of supplying electric power.
