  • Patent number: 10576977
    Abstract: A vehicle device is used for a vehicle and includes a data acquisition unit, a compensation unit, and an output unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data successively transmitted from outside a subject vehicle via communication. The compensation unit compensates a data loss resulting from unsuccessfully acquiring of data in the data acquisition unit by using data already acquired by the data acquisition unit and generates assistive data used for travel assistance of the subject vehicle. The compensation unit associates with the assistive data a compensation implementation value indicating an implementation of the compensation. The output unit outputs the assistive data associated with the compensation implementation value to a travel assistance device for performing the travel assistance when the compensation unit generates the assistive data by compensating the data loss. Accordingly, decrease of driver's reliability for travel assistance using data acquired through communication is restricted.

  • Patent number: 10388165
    Abstract: An information processing system acquires traveling area information, and transmits an entry signal to a server device when determined that a vehicle has entered a specific range. The entry signal includes traveling area information and specifying information for specifying the information processing system. When detecting a stop of traveling of the vehicle, the system transmits a first stop signal including the traveling area information to the server device. The server device stores the traveling area information and the specifying information, included in the entry signal, in association with each other when receiving the entry signal. The server device generates a second stop signal based on the first stop signal. The server device specifies the information processing system based on the travelling area information in the first stop signal, the stored traveling area information and the stored specifying information, and transmits the second stop signal to the specified information processing system.
