Patent number: 9715893Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and information processing apparatuses. The medium stores instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method including automatically reading first management data from a first storage medium. The first management data identifies files of source data stored on the first storage medium. One of the files of source data is automatically identified based on the first management data and second management data. The second management data identifies files of transferred data stored on a second storage medium. The one of the files of source data is absent from the second storage medium and automatically transferred to the second storage medium. The one of the files of source data being transferred becomes one of the files of transferred data.

Patent number: 8315004Abstract: A data recording apparatus recording data of a CD on an HDD in a manner such that the content of record in the CD is faithfully accounted for and shortening an operation time for a synchronized ripping operation. When the data recording apparatus reads, from the CD, track data managed by track, according to TOC, and records the track data onto the HDD, the data recording apparatus recognizes data unrecorded on the HDD, from among the track data recorded on the CD. This recognition process is automatically performed based on the TOC read from the CD, and album information replayed using the TOC and held by the HDD. The recording apparatus reproduces and outputs only the unrecorded data from the CD based on the recognition result concerning the unrecorded data. In this way, the data already recorded on the HDD is not transferred from the CD to the HDD. The operation time for the synchronized ripping operation is reduced accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2011Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Koji Hirano, Shoji Inagaki, Ryuichiro Togashi

Patent number: 8099232Abstract: In a vehicle control device which performs braking control of a vehicle, a priority setting unit determines, when a possibility that a self-vehicle and another vehicle cross each other at an intersection in front of the self-vehicle is detected, a priority for each of the self-vehicle and the other vehicle with respect to access to the intersection. A braking control unit performs, when the self-vehicle has no priority over the other vehicle with respect to access to the intersection, the braking control of the self-vehicle so that the self-vehicle enters the intersection after the other vehicle passes through the intersection.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Tanaka, Shoji Inagaki, Wataru Ike, Naoki Okada, Tetsuji Muto

Patent number: 7904221Abstract: A vehicle has a drive control ECU that controls an internal combustion engine or a transmission on the basis of a target drive force. The drive control ECU has a first arbitrator that sets the target drive force on the basis of a driver's request and the like, and filters that have individually different damping characteristics and that correct the target drive force from the first arbitrator so that the vibration of a sprung weight of the vehicle is controlled, as well as a switch that includes a switching portion and a filter setting portion. The filter setting portion determines whether a pitching resonance frequency has changed. If having determined that the pitching resonance frequency has changed, the filter setting portion switches the filter having been used for correcting the target drive force to a filter corresponding to a post-change pitching resonance frequency.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Denso CorporationInventors: Yoshitaka Oikawa, Hideki Takamatsu, Shoji Inagaki, Kenji Kawahara, Yasuhiro Nakai

Patent number: 7853387Abstract: A controller controls braking force and driving force of a vehicle, in accordance with demand force. The controller includes a first and second demand force arithmetic units for arithmetically calculating first and second demand force. The first demand force includes a factor inducing vibration in suspended components of the vehicle. The second demand force substantially excludes the factor inducing vibration in suspended components of the vehicle. A vibration damping filter reduces the factor from a waveform of the first demand force, thereby producing post-filter demand force. An arbitration unit compares the post-filter demand force with the second demand force, thereby selecting one of the post-filter demand force and second demand force as final demand force.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignees: Denso Corporation, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Nakai, Kenji Kawahara, Shoji Inagaki, Hideki Takamatsu

Patent number: 7720583Abstract: A powertrain control ECU sets a target driving force, and controls an internal combustion engine and a transmission of a vehicle. A first processor of the powertrain control ECU includes a driving force adjustment portion, a filter, a mode-switch, an environmental information-obtaining device, and a steering sensor. The driving force adjustment portion sets the target driving force based on at least one of instructions from a driver and from a second processor. The filter corrects the target driving force to suppress vibration on a spring of the vehicle. The mode-switch sets the running mode. The environmental information-obtaining device obtains information on the environment around the vehicle. The steering angle sensor determines the running condition. A correction amount, by which the filter corrects the target driving force, is adjusted according to the running mode, the environment, and the running condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Denso CorporationInventors: Hideki Takamatsu, Shoji Inagaki, Yasuhiro Nakai, Kenji Kawahara

Patent number: 7664582Abstract: In an automobile of the invention, a cornering drag estimator 61 estimates a cornering drag from measurements of steering angle ? and vehicle speed V. A gain multiplier 62 multiplies the estimated cornering drag by a preset gain K to reduce the estimated cornering drag. A phase adjuster 63 adjusts the phase of the rest of the estimated and reduced cornering drag. An implementation system 70 receives the sum of the output of the gain multiplier 62 and the output of the phase adjuster 63 and regulates the throttle opening of an engine according to the received sum. This adjusts the phase and the degree of reduction of the estimated cornering drag. This arrangement of the invention attains the adequate levels of pitching and rolling, which may be caused in the vehicle in the turning state.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2004Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shoji Inagaki
