  • Publication number: 20240013660
    Abstract: A control device according to the present disclosure is a control device for emitting a warning about other vehicle approaching an own vehicle, and includes a memory configured to store a program and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the program to perform processing. The processing includes: detecting a position of a lane boundary line indicating a boundary in a width direction of a road on which the own vehicle travels based on a captured image captured by a camera configured to capture an image around the own vehicle; detecting a position of the other vehicle based on the captured image; and performing control to output a warning to a driver of the own vehicle based on a relationship between the position of the lane boundary line and the position of the other vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180286233
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes an image acquisition unit, a signal identification unit, a symbolization unit, and a display controller. The image acquisition unit acquires an image of a viewing field around a vehicle. The image is captured by an on-board camera. The signal identification unit identifies information indicated by a indicator shown in the captured image. The symbolization unit symbolizes the information. The display controller causes the symbolized information to be displayed in a superimposed manner on the captured image or an actual view of a user.

  • Patent number: 8523279
    Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle seat assembly with built-in heater having a configuration to minimize formation of creases. The vehicle seat assembly of the present invention comprises a seat heater. The seat heater is structured as a unit and comprised of a substrate and a heating wire. The heating wire has a first heater section and a second heater section. In the first heater section, a part of the segments bent on the left side extend leftward across the center. In the second heater section, a part of the segments bent on the right side extend rightward across the center. These segments are overlapped when viewed in the vertical direction. This configuration minimizes formation of creases in the middle area.
