Abstract: The disclosed data processing device installed in a vehicle includes an occupant state recognition unit that recognizes the action of an occupant of a vehicle pointing outside the vehicle, a peripheral circumstances acquisition unit that acquires the peripheral circumstances around the vehicle, an object recognition unit that recognizes the object pointed at by the occupant based on the recognition results obtained by the occupant state recognition unit and the acquisition results obtained by the peripheral circumstances acquisition unit, a relative direction determination unit that determines the relative direction of the object with respect to the vehicle, and a light control unit that controls the light emission appearance of an oblong shaped light-emitting unit installed above or below the windshield of the vehicle. The light control unit controls the light-emitting appearance such that the relative direction is identifiable based on the recognition results of the object recognition unit.

Abstract: A data processing device for performing suitable feedback with regard to a pointing gesture of a vehicle occupant is provided. The occupant state recognition unit recognizes motion of an occupant of the vehicle pointing to outside the vehicle. The peripheral conditions acquisition unit acquires the peripheral circumstances around the vehicle. The target recognition unit recognizes a target pointed at by the occupant based on recognition results obtained by the occupant state recognition unit and recognition results obtained by the peripheral conditions acquisition unit. The light emitting unit has a long shape and is installed above or below a windshield of the vehicle over a vehicle body width direction. The light emission control unit controls, in two stages, a luminescence mode for a portion of the light emitting unit corresponding to a direction pointed at by the occupant and/or a direction in which the target is located.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a route generating unit that generates a parking lot leaving route of a vehicle based on sensing results of a sensor group mounted on the vehicle; a communication control unit that transmits the parking lot leaving route to an information processing device and receives a stop position where the vehicle stops from the information processing device; and a projection control unit that projects light emitted from a light source at a position on a road surface corresponding to the stop position.

Abstract: A parking assist apparatus characterized by including: a camera (1) for taking an image of a backside of a vehicle; a display unit (6); a movement distance detecting unit (2) for detecting a distance of vehicle movement; a steering angle detecting unit (3) for detecting a steering rudder angle; and an anticipated-course calculation unit (5) for calculating an anticipated course of the vehicle in backing movement according to the steering rudder angle, wherein the parking assist apparatus further includes a display control unit (4) configured to superimpose on the image taken by the camera a discontinuous line including successive marks (PA1, PA2 . . . / PB1, PB2 . . . ) as the anticipated course and display the superimposed image on the display unit (6), and when the vehicle moves the display control unit (4) is configured to shift the marks according to the distance of the vehicle movement.
