Patent number: 12131412Abstract: A head-up display device that is configured to allow a driver to intuitively recognize a plurality of objects sequentially along a travel route of a vehicle while projecting a video onto an image forming plane that has a length in the vertical direction shorter than a length in the horizontal direction. An optical processor of the head-up display device obtains from a controller a first image signal based on the nearest road sign information and a second image signal based on the following road sign information along the travel route. The optical processor causes line segment objects as well as information objects generated from the first image signal and the second image signal, respectively, to be displayed on an image forming plane.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsuaki Maekawa, Hidenobu Nakashima, Kazuna Kaneshige

Patent number: 8413767Abstract: There is provided an elevator operation control device in which for an elevator provided with a destination floor reservation device in an elevator hall, disadvantages can be overcome reliably that a user who observes a predetermined riding rule cannot ride on the elevator because of a user who does not observe the riding rule and that the operation efficiency of elevator is lowered. For this purpose, the destination floor reservation device is provided in an elevator hall so that a user registers his/her own destination floor using the destination floor reservation device. Also, when a car stops at the elevator hall, a non-reservation user riding on the car without registering the destination floor using the destination floor reservation device is detected based on the information on the user having registered the destination floor using the destination floor reservation device and the information on the user in the car.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventor: Hidenobu Nakashima

Publication number: 20120228066Abstract: A group control system includes a destination operating panel by use of which a user registers a destination floor by manual operation before boarding an elevator car and an authentication device by use of which a user performs personal authentication by inputting personal identification information. The destination floor registration from the destination operating panel is prohibited with respect to prescribed prohibited floors and when personal authentication has been carried out by the authentication device, the prohibition of destination floor registration with respect to prohibited floors is canceled. The group controller assigns an optimum car from a plurality of elevators to the destination floor registered from the destination operating panel. In the elevator group control system, it becomes possible for a user to register his or her destination floor before boarding an elevator car without lowering the level of security of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2010Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Masayuki Mitsuda, Yuji Fujihata, Naohiko Suzuki, Sakurako Tokura, Yoshimasa Koba, Hidenobu Nakashima, Masaharu Eto, Yoshinori Nonami

Publication number: 20120145488Abstract: An elevator operating apparatus including a destination floor reservation device. The destination floor reservation device is placed distant from an elevator hall so that the user can register personal information and destination floor from the destination floor reservation device before getting on an elevator car. An input device for the user to input the personal information is installed at the elevator hall. When the destination floor is registered from the destination floor reservation device, the elevator car is arranged at the boarding floor. After the elevator car has been arranged at the boarding floor, during the time when a person having not inputted the personal information from the input device is present among the users having registered the personal information from the destination floor reservation device, the elevator car is caused to wait at the boarding floor while the door thereof is open.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2009Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventor: Hidenobu Nakashima
