Patent number: 10796507Abstract: An image display system includes a first processor, a second processor, and a comparator. The first processor acquires a behavior estimation result of a vehicle, and generates future position information after a predetermined time passes of the vehicle based on the behavior estimation result. The second processor acquires present information about the vehicle, and generates present position information on the vehicle and a peripheral object based on the acquired information. The comparator compares the future position information on the vehicle and the present position information on the vehicle and the peripheral object, and generates present image data indicating present positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object and future image data indicating future positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object. Further, the comparator allows a notification device to display a present image based on the present image data and a future image based on the future image data together.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideto Motomura, Sahim Kourkouss, Hisaji Murata, Koichi Emura, Eriko Ohdachi, Masanaga Tsuji

Publication number: 20190344798Abstract: An information processing system includes a safe behavior determiner, clustering range controller, and safety determiner. The safe behavior determiner classifies parameter values indicating a travel state of a vehicle into multiple ranges based on travel safety. The safe behavior determiner also determines a safe behavior for the vehicle by which the travel state of the vehicle is adjusted such that the parameter values fall under a safety range with high travel safety. The clustering range controller changes a position of a boundary between the ranges according to an external environment of the vehicle. The safety determiner acquires a behavior estimation result of the vehicle and the safe behavior determined by the safe behavior determiner, and determines behavior control of the vehicle on the basis of at least the acquired behavior estimation result or safe behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: HIDETO MOTOMURA, HISAJI MURATA, ERIKO OHDACHI, MASANAGA TSUJI, KOICHI EMURA, SAHIM KOURKOUSS

Patent number: 9495871Abstract: A display control device causes a display unit to generate a first predetermined image representing a first presentation image that indicates a first speed limit. Change in a speed limit of a road where a vehicle travels from a first speed limit to a second speed limit different from the first speed limit is recognized. When the recognized change in the speed limit indicates decrease, the first predetermined image is switched by a first switching method so that a second predetermined image representing a second presentation image that indicates the second speed limit is generated. When the recognized change in the speed limit indicates increase, the first predetermined image is switched by a second switching method different from the first switching method so that the second predetermined image is generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Makoto Mochizuki, Koichi Emura, Eriko Ohdachi

Patent number: 9418548Abstract: A display control device includes a controller that, if an obtainer obtains first-segment speed limit information, controls a displayer so that it creates a first predetermined image, indicating a first-segment speed limit, and displays the first predetermined image on a display medium, and includes a determiner that, if second-segment length information is obtained after the first-segment speed limit information has been obtained, determines whether the second-segment length is shorter than a threshold. The controller makes a switchover from control under which the displayer creates the first predetermined image and displays it on the display medium to control under which the displayer creates a second predetermined image, indicating a second-segment speed limit, and displays the second predetermined image on the display medium in different control ways depending on whether the second-segment length is shorter than the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Eriko Ohdachi, Koichi Emura, Makoto Mochizuki
