  • Patent number: 11380226
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of setting light emission control of each light emission tool in an area more easily. The method of setting light emission control of each tool in an area of the present invention includes: a light emitting step of transmitting a freely-selected ID signal (Sn) to a plurality of tools in an area and emit light in response to receipt of corresponding ID signals to cause a tool (En) that has received the signal (Sn) to emit light; an imaging step of acquiring a light emission image (En) of the area after the signal (Sn) has been transmitted; a determining step of determining a position of the tool (En) that emitted light in the area based on the image (En); and a storing step of storing the position of the tool (En) in the area and the corresponding signal (Sn).

  • Publication number: 20210282250
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of setting light emission control of each light emission tool in an area more easily. The method of setting light emission control of each light emission tool in an area of the present invention includes: a light emitting step of transmitting a freely-selected ID signal (Sn) to a plurality of light emission tools that are randomly disposed in an area and emit light in response to receipt of corresponding ID signals to cause a light emission tool (En) that has received the ID signal (Sn) to emit light; an imaging step of acquiring a light emission image (En) of the area after the ID signal (Sn) has been transmitted; a determining step of determining a position of the light emission tool (En) that emitted light in response to receipt of the ID signal (Sn) in the area based on the light emission image (En); and a storing step of storing the position of the light emission tool (En) in the area and the corresponding ID signal (Sn) in association with each other.

  • Publication number: 20200342758
    Abstract: A drive assistance device includes: a collection unit that collects, from a sensor, own-vehicle-state-information representing a state related to a movement of an own vehicle and a position of the own vehicle; a communication unit that transmits the own-vehicle-state-information to another vehicle, and also receiving another-vehicle-state-information representing a state related to a movement of the another vehicle and a position of the another vehicle, from the another vehicle; a determination unit that determines whether a problem occurs in relation to the another vehicle, based on the another-vehicle-state-information being received; and a generation unit that generates, when the determination unit determines that the problem occurs in relation to the another vehicle, improvement operation information representing an operation of the own vehicle capable of improving the problem related to the another vehicle, based on the own-vehicle-state-information and the another-vehicle-state-information.
