Patent number: 11662985Abstract: Vehicle developer devices, systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle developer device includes a management computing device, a plurality of electronic control units, and a plurality peripheral devices, wherein one or more individual peripheral devices of the plurality of peripheral devices is a physical representation of an actual vehicle peripheral device. The vehicle developer device further includes a plurality of ports for receiving one or more of at least one additional electronic control units and at least one additional peripheral devices. The management computing device configures the plurality of electronic control units, and simulates operation of a full-scale simulated vehicle. The vehicle developer device is smaller in size than the full-scale simulated vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: WOVEN ALPHA, INC.Inventors: Nikolaos Michalakis, Paul Sastrasinh, Thor Lewis, Shang-Poh Yu, Sho Mikuriya, Hiroko Okuyama

Publication number: 20220398690Abstract: A processor of a remote facility executes image generation processing and display control processing. In the image generation processing, it is determined whether a front image includes an image of a mirror portion of a traffic mirror based on data of feature quantity of an object included in the front image. If it is determined that the front image includes the mirror portion image, an image of a preset region including the mirror portion is extracted from the front image. Then, a super-resolution image is generated by super-resolution processing for the image of this preset region. In the display control processing, if the front image includes the image of the mirror portion, the super-resolution image and the front image is displayed on a display of a remote facility.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: WOVEN PLANET HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Sho MIKURIYA, Ryo IGARASHI, Daisuke ISO

Publication number: 20220358620Abstract: A processor of a remote facility executes image generation processing to generate assistance image data to be displayed on a display based on front image data indicating front image data of a vehicle. In the image generation processing, when an image of a traffic light is included in the front image data, it is determined whether recognition likelihood of a luminescent state of a light emitting section of the traffic light is equal to or smaller than a threshold. If it is determined that recognition likelihood is less than or equal to the threshold, super-resolution processing of a preset region including the traffic light in the front image data is executed. Then, super-resolution image data of the preset region by the super-resolution processing is superimposed on a region corresponding to the preset region in the front image data. As such, the assistance image data is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Woven Planet Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Toshinobu WATANABE, Sho Mikuriya

Patent number: 11472429Abstract: The vehicle controller includes a processor configured to determine whether a behavior of a driver of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined enabling condition after execution of a function of automatically stopping the vehicle. The function is executed due to not satisfying a driver-related condition for continuing the automated driving control of the vehicle. The enabling condition relates to driving control of the vehicle and is not imposed before the execution of the function. The processor is further configured to perform the automated driving control of the vehicle only when the behavior of the driver satisfies the enabling condition.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kiyotoshi Sekine, Takahiko Kuwabara, Taiyo Uejima, Sho Mikuriya

Publication number: 20220289188Abstract: A control device of a vehicle includes a processor configured to modify target acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle according to acceleration/deceleration required of the vehicle in automated driving control of the vehicle. The target acceleration/deceleration is included in a first acceleration/deceleration request received via a communication interface from a driving assistance controller for assisting a driver of the vehicle in driving. The processor outputs a second acceleration/deceleration request including the modified target acceleration/deceleration via the communication interface to an accelerator controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventor: Sho Mikuriya

Publication number: 20220266860Abstract: A control device of a vehicle includes a control target value setting part for setting the first reference value as the control target value when the control demand value is greater than or equal to a second reference value; and a demand signal output part for outputting a control demand signal including the set control target value to the equipment control device. The first reference value is a value wherein an equipment control device outputs a corresponding equipment control signal when the control demand signal including this value as the control target value is sent to the equipment control device. The second reference value is the smallest value among values wherein the equipment control device does not output a corresponding equipment control signal when the control demand signal including this value as the control target value is sent to the equipment control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventor: Sho MIKURIYA
