Abstract: An in-vehicle control apparatus is to be mounted in a vehicle having a self-driving function and a driver's seat that can be turned backward, and includes a direction determination unit configured to determine a direction of the driver's seat, and a control unit configured to control an operation of a device mounted in the vehicle in accordance with the direction that is determined by the direction determination unit. In addition, an in-vehicle control apparatus according to the present embodiment is to be mounted in a vehicle having a self-driving function, and includes a self-driving determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is self-driving, and a control unit configured to perform control for restricting an operation of a device mounted in the vehicle in accordance with a determination result of the self-driving determination unit.

Abstract: Provision or non-provision of partitions is changeable in correspondence with the presence or absence of occupants in a vehicle. A partition opening/closing system is provided with a partition opening/closing determination unit and a partition drive unit. The partition drive unit is a drive device that drives opening and closing of partitions. Partitions are opened and closed between a plurality of seats provided in the vehicle. The partition opening/closing determination unit is a control unit that determines the necessity for opening/closing of partitions. Information indicating at least one of scheduled boarding and scheduled alighting of the vehicle by occupants is used in this determination.

Abstract: An individual ECU controls power supply through a wire W. A microcomputer of the individual ECU increases an average value of a wire current value of a current flowing through the wire W in a stepwise manner. The microcomputer determines, every time that the average value of a wire current value is increased, whether or not an anomaly has occurred in power supply through the wire (W) based on a temperature difference between a wire temperature of the wire (W) and an environmental temperature in an area surrounding the wire (W).

Abstract: An individual ECU (luminance adjustment apparatus) adjusts a luminance value of a lamp. The individual ECU adjusts the luminance value of the lamp according to a luminance pattern in which luminance values are indicated in keeping with elapsed time in one cycle. The individual ECU acquires a synchronization count value (or “time value”) relating to the luminance pattern and changes an adjustment count value (or “actual value”) of the elapsed time in one cycle based on the acquired synchronization count value.

Abstract: Individual ECUs are mounted on a vehicle and execute processing using power supplied from one of a main power storage device and a sub power storage device. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processing unit of each individual ECU determines whether the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted. When it is determined that the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted, the processing unit of each individual ECU executes a process that corresponds to a degree of deterioration of the sub power storage device out of a plurality of processes.

Abstract: An in-vehicle system includes: a first in-vehicle device installed in a vehicle; a second in-vehicle device controlled in accordance with a signal output from the first in-vehicle device; a first in-vehicle ECU communicably connected to the first in-vehicle device and the second in-vehicle device by signal lines; and a second in-vehicle ECU communicably connected to the first in-vehicle device and the second in-vehicle device by the signal lines. The first in-vehicle ECU and the second in-vehicle ECU are connected by a communication line of a type different from a type of the signal lines, and a communication path from the first in-vehicle device to the second in-vehicle device includes a first path relayed by the first in-vehicle ECU and a second path relayed by the second in-vehicle ECU.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device easily switches settings based on which in-vehicle equipment operates. A portable device includes a mode acquisition unit and a radio-wave transmission unit. The mode acquisition unit is a processing unit configured to specify one mode from among a plurality of modes and output mode information that is information indicating the one specified mode. The radio-wave transmission unit is a processing unit configured to transmit the mode information to the in-vehicle device using a radio wave.

Abstract: Provision or non-provision of partitions is changeable in correspondence with the presence or absence of occupants in a vehicle. A partition opening/closing system is provided with a partition opening/closing determination unit and a partition drive unit. The partition drive unit is a drive device that drives opening and closing of partitions. Partitions are opened and closed between a plurality of seats provided in the vehicle. The partition opening/closing determination unit is a control unit that determines the necessity for opening/closing of partitions. Information indicating at least one of scheduled boarding and scheduled alighting of the vehicle by occupants is used in this determination.
