Akihiro Hirashima has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11823506
    Abstract: A driving evaluation apparatus configured to evaluate driving status of driver driving mobile body in preset determination area, includes: a microprocessor and a memory. The microprocessor is configured to function as: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information and travel speed information of the mobile body based on GPS signals; a speed excess determination unit configured to determine whether travel speed of the mobile body in the determination area exceeds predetermined travel speed based on the location information and the travel speed information; and a driving evaluation unit configured to evaluate the driving status of the driver in the determination area based on determination result of the speed excess determination. The speed excess determination unit is configured to stop the speed excess determination for predetermined time period when it is determined that the travel speed of the mobile body exceeds the predetermined travel speed.

  • Patent number: 11238741
    Abstract: A driving evaluation apparatus configured to evaluate level of safety driving by drivers belonging to any one of groups organized hierarchically, includes: microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor is configured to function as: a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information of the drivers from mobile terminals; an evaluation value calculation unit configured to calculate driving evaluation value based on the location information of the drivers; a driving evaluation unit configured to rank the plurality of drivers within a belonging group or rank the belonging group by comparing the belonging group with other groups regarding the level of safety driving based on the driving evaluation value; and an output unit configured to output a ranking result. The management information includes location information of speed management area for managing travel speeds of the mobile bodies and information of threshold for determining overspeed, settable by user.
