Patent number: 11956146Abstract: A reception unit (210) receives an addition requesting frame for requesting addition of a new flow. A first search unit (241) performs, using a network-information database (280), a first search for searching for a schedule and a path assignable to the new flow without the schedule and the path of each existing flow being changed, when the addition requesting frame is received. A second search unit (242) performs a second search for changing the schedule and the path of each existing flow and searching for the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow, using the network-information database, when the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow have not been found by the first search. A response unit (260) transmits an addition responding frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto Kubomi, Ryuma Matsushita, Daisuke Takita, Yoshifumi Hotta

Patent number: 10214196Abstract: The electronic control unit sets a target value of a charging amount of the electrical storage device and increases the charging amount to the target value during traveling on the freeway. The electronic control unit computes a first travel cost being cost per unit travel distance of fuel used when the EV travel is made by using the electric power charged in the electrical storage device at a time when the HV travel is made on the freeway, and the second travel cost being cost per unit travel distance of the electric power used when the EV travel is made by using the electric power charged in the electrical storage device by the charging mechanism at the destination. The electronic control unit sets the target value on the basis of a comparison result between the first travel cost and the second travel cost.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Makoto Hotta
