Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a recognition unit configured to recognize a surrounding condition of a vehicle; a driving control unit configured to control acceleration, deceleration, and steering of the vehicle based on a recognition result; and a vehicle abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality in an electric parking brake device. When an abnormality in the driver is detected during traveling of the vehicle, the driving control unit performs control to decelerate the vehicle to a predetermined speed greater than zero by braking by a brake device. In a case where an abnormality in the electric parking brake device is detected before or at a time the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed, the driving control unit causes the vehicle to perform traveling along a traveling road until the recognition unit recognizes a preceding vehicle after the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes processing circuitry configured to: detect a predetermined travel path boundary and a travel path region for the vehicle to travel partitioned by the travel path boundary, based on surrounding information of the vehicle; and generate travel path information indicating positions of the detected travel path boundary and the travel path region based on a detection result of the detection unit. When the moving body is detected around the vehicle based on the surrounding information, the processing circuitry refers to the travel path information, and determines whether the moving body is positioned in a target travel path region in which the vehicle travels, and executes the collision prevention control that prevents collision between the vehicle and a moving body based on determination that the moving body is positioned in the target travel path region.

The processing circuitry executes the notification when there is a curve with a curvature radius less than a predetermined value in the traveling direction, and there is a high possibility of departing from the travel path, and the driving status of the driver is not suitable for traveling on the travel path.

Abstract: By a computer executing a driver program, an icon display processing unit, an operation detection unit, a setting change processing unit, and a customization unit are implemented. The icon display processing unit displays on a display device an icon associated with a setting item in an icon list. When a click operation is detected by the operation detection unit, the setting change processing unit changes a value of the setting item associated with the clicked icon to another value. Then, the icon display processing unit switches an icon image corresponding to a change of the value of the setting item. The customization unit customizes the icon list by performing at least one of adding or deleting the setting item to/from the icon list.

Abstract: A method for secure communication and printing, comprising: user entering user and destination information to host; authentication server producing, saving encryption key for the job, user, and destination information into database, and sending to host; host encrypting the job using encryption key and sending job to destination; user entering user and destination information to device; authentication server retrieving encryption key from database, and sending to device; and device decrypting the job using encryption key and releasing job. Authentication at both host and MFP sides disables unauthorized, malicious attack to a user's mailbox, and results in jobs to a mailbox having different dynamic encryption keys, and no password or mailbox PIN trafficking on network. Furthermore, host and MFP can be at different domains. Methods also include secrecy encrypting encryption key; hashing key generator using SHA1, MD5, etc.

Abstract: A method for providing release-dependant filenames for a device driver, by providing Config information and a table of the driver's component files; assigning unique, release-dependant filenames for the component files; and producing the device driver containing the release-dependant filenames. Scripts and a preprocessor are used to convert filenames and template filename references into actual names. Name conversion comprises converting by a preprocessor for compiled files and converting by scripts for other files. Unique names of files enable simultaneous operation of two versions of a device driver. Methods include encoding module name, version numbers, date, language, and OEM information into the filename; one alphanumeric-character version number and two-character language code; configuration file and automatic generation of Config information; printing device driver with major and minor version numbers; and date encoding for files that are updated more frequently than version updates.
