  • Publication number: 20190182650
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus and a method of deciding a correction amount for correcting the radio field intensity of received radio waves in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus receives a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) packet transmitted by an external apparatus, and displays a screen for deciding a correction amount for correcting the radio field intensity of the BLE packet. If a user inputs an instruction for deciding the correction amount via this screen, the correction amount is decided based on the radio field intensity of the received BLE packet and a reference value.

  • Publication number: 20180061102
    Abstract: A drive assist device acquires an image captured by a rear camera that captures an image in a range behind the towing vehicle, including a hitch, and superimposes a pair of left and right predicted course lines and a plurality of distance indicator lines upon the image acquired for every distance increment from the towing vehicle, for display on a display device. The drive assist device produces a superimposed display in which each distance indicator line is divided into left and right segments so as not to be superimposed upon a region corresponding to a predicted trajectory of the hitch, and end segments of the left and right segments of the distance indicator line are tilted in a zenith direction until reaching the level of the hitch for indication of the level thereof.
