  • Driving support apparatus
    Patent number: 9702710
    Abstract: A driving support apparatus 1 performs a driving support based on travel data obtained while a driver causes a vehicle to travel by a driving operation. The apparatus includes storage units 20 and 41 that store a vehicle speed at each position on a traveling route using the vehicle speed acquired when the driver causes the vehicle to travel by performing an acceleration or deceleration operation, and traveling control units 30, 31, and 43 that perform a traveling control based on the vehicle speed at each position stored in the storage units 20 and 41 and the current position of the vehicle. The traveling control units 30, 31, and 43 end the traveling control in a case where the vehicle speed of the vehicle becomes lower than a threshold value during the deceleration by the traveling control.

  • OPERATING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
    Publication number: 20170185226
    Abstract: An image on an operating surface is captured, and first image data are acquired. A gesture performed by a user on the operating surface is recognized on the basis of the first image data. Whether there is a touch panel sensor configured to acquire coordinates of positions touched by an operation performed by a user on the operating surface or not is determined. In a case where the determination unit determines that there is the touch panel sensor on the operating surface, coordinates of the position on the operating surface touched by the operation performed by the user are identified on the basis of coordinates of a position detected by the touch panel sensor instead of a recognized user's gesture.
