Abstract: An information processing device and an information processing method control a display unit including a display area that is transparent to surrounding of a vehicle such that the surrounding is visible from a driver's seat of the vehicle, determine whether an object is within a range of a predetermined distance from the vehicle or a route on which the vehicle is scheduled to travel, based on information of the object located in the surrounding of the vehicle, increase a ratio of the display area that allows the surrounding to pass through by changing part or all of an image displayed and superimposed on the display area in a case of determining that the object is within the range.

Abstract: A sensor control circuit periodically transmits packets in synchronism with a one-by-one monotonous change in count values from a real-time clock circuit. The count values repeat the change within a predetermined numerical value range. The sensor control circuit transmits the count values by adding them to the packets. A collection control circuit acquires values of a reference clock synchronized with a reference time of an upper network from a reference clock generation circuit in accordance with reception of the packets, stores the values in a storage circuit as time stamps representing arrival times of the packets, performs statistical processing of the time stamps and the count values concerning the packets received, and corrects the time stamps based on an packet transmission interval and a reference arrival time representing the arrival time of a head packet, which are obtained from the statistical processing.

Abstract: Upon receiving a dummy packet, a data collection terminal slave device (2) appends, to a return packet, a timestamp indicating the reception time of the dummy packet and a timestamp indicating the transmission time of the return packet, and transmits the return packet to a data collection terminal master device (3). When performing a time synchronization process, the data collection terminal master device (3) transmits the dummy packet to the data collection terminal slave device (2).
