Abstract: An information processing device includes an acquisition unit, a control unit and a giving unit. The acquisition unit can acquire vehicle information from an in-vehicle information processing device. The acquisition unit can acquire condition information from a terminal device. When acquiring the vehicle information, the control unit recognizes a weather when a vehicle detects clothes in the vehicle information. The control unit accumulates the clothes in a clothes database, in association with the weather and a position. When acquiring the condition information, the control unit recognizes a predicted weather at a designated time and a designated position. The control unit selects at least one kind of clothes, based on the clothes in the clothes database that are associated with the predicted weather and the position. The giving unit gives the at least one kind of clothes, to the terminal device that gives the condition information.

Abstract: A vehicular charging control system using a solar panel includes: a first battery; a calculation unit that calculates a chargeable electric power amount (an amount of electric power with which the first battery can be charged until the SOC of the first battery reaches a predetermined value); a determination unit that determines whether regenerative electric power is being generated; and a control unit that controls charging of the first battery with electric power generated by the solar panel.

Abstract: A driving support device executes a limit control to control a vehicle in such a manner that an actual acceleration of when the vehicle is being reversed does not exceed a limit acceleration during a time period from a time point that a start condition becomes satisfied (i.e., at a time point that the driver operates an accelerator erroneously while a shift position is being held at a reverse position) to a time point that an end condition becomes satisfied (i.e., at a time point that the driver ends operating the accelerator). The driving support device sets a state of itself to either one of a prohibiting state in which an execution of the limit control is prohibited or an allowing state in which the execution of the limit control is allowed. The driving support device sets the state of itself to the allowing state when a failure that the driving support device cannot detect/receive a request signal occurs.
