  • Patent number: 11941555
    Abstract: A method for fulfilling a work task request using a modular autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes transmitting a work task request specifying a work request to be performed by the modular autonomous vehicle, and identifying equipment required for performing the work task request. Once the work task request is stored at a server, the method further includes identifying information of the equipment required for performing the work task request, and determining whether equipment of the modular autonomous vehicle corresponds to the equipment required for assigning the work task to the modular autonomous vehicle. Method also includes, upon receiving in-cabin sensing data, assigning or denying the work task to the modular autonomous vehicle for performance of the work task.

  • Patent number: 11885629
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for generating and transmitting experience journeys. The system includes a processor and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: receiving a user's request for an experience journey; retrieving a listing of activities within a prescribed vicinity of the user; retrieving a listing of the user's preferences; eliminating activities from the listing of activities that are contrary to the preferences in the listing of user preferences, thereby forming a listing of preferred available activities; devising routes from the user's location to the activities in the listing of preferred available activities; generating experience journeys from the listing of preferred available activities and the devised routes to the activities in the listing of preferred available activities; and transmitting the generated experience journeys to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230419394
    Abstract: An information presentation method is for outputting information related to a stop position of a mobile body to a user terminal in an information processing system for lending a cabin of the mobile body. The method includes registering position information representing a stop position of the mobile body, and registering purpose information representing a purpose of use of the cabin of the mobile body. The method also includes outputting, to the user terminal, trend information representing a trend of a purpose of use of the cabin in an area including the position information of mobile bodies. The trend information is output on the basis of correspondence information by which the position information of the mobile bodies is correlated with the purpose information of the mobile bodies.

  • Publication number: 20220207598
    Abstract: The information processing apparatus is an information processing apparatus in a system lending out vehicle cabins of mobile objects. The information processing apparatus includes a hardware processor functioning as a first output controller, a reception unit, and a second output controller. The first output controller serves to output first information indicating information on the vehicle cabins of the mobile objects in which at least a partial period of a standing period of the mobile objects is capable of being set as a lending period. The reception unit serves to receive an instruction by a user. The second output controller serves to output, on the basis of the instruction by the user, second information indicating that the vehicle cabin to be lent out to the user out of the vehicle cabins included in the first information is lendable.

  • Patent number: 6228998
    Abstract: A glycosaminoglycan derivative is disclosed wherein a first amino group of a spacer compound (NH2—Y—NH2) is bonded to an aldehyde formed by reducing and partially oxidizing a reducing end sugar of a glycosaminoglycan, via an aminoalkyl bond, or a lactone formed by oxidizing and cyclodehydrating the reducing end sugar of a glycosaminoglycan, via an acid amide bond, and further a hydrocarbon compound having a allyl group at one end and a functional group at another end which is bonded to the second amino group of the spacer compound. This derivative is useful as a substrate in a process for identifying a glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzyme that gives good reproducibility and sensitivity.
