Abstract: In one mode, with a vehicle control apparatus, a vehicle control method, and a vehicle control system according to the present invention, a control command is output for operating an actuator unit mounted in a vehicle, so as to obtain a control moment including at least one of a roll moment, a pitch moment, and a yaw moment that are generated for the vehicle before a curve on a traveling road on which the vehicle runs, based on a physical quantity about a curvature ahead on the traveling road and a physical quantity about a speed of the vehicle. In this way, the passenger's sense of security when the vehicle runs on the curve may be improved.

Abstract: A malfunction detection method detects a malfunction in an electronic control device. The electronic control device includes a normal power supply terminal connected to a normal power supply mounted on a vehicle, a starting power supply terminal connected to a starting power supply, a controller activated by supply of a normal voltage, and a wake-up circuit having a wake-up switch to open and close a power supply path from the normal power supply terminal to the controller. The wake-up circuit turns on the wake-up switch when a starting voltage input to the starting power supply terminal is equal to or greater than an ON threshold. The malfunction detection method includes determining by the controller that the wake-up switch has an ON sticking malfunction when the normal voltage is equal to or greater than a threshold and the starting voltage is less than the ON threshold.

Abstract: A computer system determines that a player character is in a preparatory state for executing an external function (close-range attack) toward a target character (e.g., enemy character). Furthermore, the computer system determines that the player character satisfies an executable condition that enables execution of the external function. When the player character satisfies the executable condition, the computer system causes the player character to execute the external function. Then, the computer system executes protection control for protecting the player character from another character while the player character is in the preparatory state.
