  • Publication number: 20230104917
    Abstract: In a mechanical fastening work method in an augmented reality space, a mechanical fastening part and a mechanical fastening part virtual body correspond one-to-one, and a tool and a tool virtual body correspond one-to-one. An augmented reality configuration system generates an augmented reality space including: a camera that captures a real space; a server that analyzes an image captured by the camera and generates the augmented reality space; and a tool that acquires torque information observed when tightening or loosening the mechanical fastening part and transmits and receives the torque information to and from the server. The mechanical fastening work method includes a step of, when the tool detects torque information that the mechanical fastening part is to be tightened or loosened, defining the mechanical fastening part virtual body corresponding one-to-one to the mechanical fastening part, and making the defined mechanical fastening part virtual body appear in the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 11285903
    Abstract: An airbag includes: a first inflatable section that is inflated and deployed forward from the upper portion of a seat back through the left side of a head of an occupant; a second inflatable section that is inflated and deployed forward from the upper portion of the seat back through the right side of the head of the occupant; and a third inflatable section that is continuous with lower portions of front portions of the first inflatable section and the second inflatable section and that is inflated and deployed in front of the chest of the occupant. The front portions of the first and second inflatable sections extend in directions intersecting the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be closer to each other toward the front side. The front portions meet each other at a front end of the airbag.

  • Patent number: 11270473
    Abstract: In an operation management system in the related art, it is necessary to add an identification mark such as an RFID tag to each component to be managed and prepare a fastening tool having an antenna. In contrast, a mechanical fastening unit management method is provided using an augmented reality space generated by superimposing a virtual space on a real space. In the augmented reality space where a real fastening unit (RBn) and a virtual fastening unit (IBn) are in a one-to-one correspondence, information that the real fastening unit is selected as a fastening target is acquired with a camera or the like, and analyzed by an augmented reality server connected to the camera. Accordingly, it is possible to easily record that a predetermined operation is progressing as scheduled, and to provide a high quality mechanical fastening unit management method or system that is low in operation cost.
