Patent number: 9573462Abstract: When a driver manipulates a fuel filler lid switch, a tank shutoff valve is opened. Then, time t is calculated, and then, remaining time, obtained by subtracting elapsed time from the time t, is presented on a display device. If the fuel filler lid switch is manipulated again, the tank shutoff valve is closed to seal a fuel tank, and a message to the effect that opening action of the fuel filler lid is cancelled is presented on the display device. If the time t has elapsed without the fuel filler lid switch being manipulated again, the fuel filler lid is opened, determining that internal pressure in the fuel tank has decreased to a level predetermined to ensure that the fuel tank can be filled safely without fuel or fuel evaporative gas spouting from the fuel tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Norifumi Iwaya, Hiroaki Kageyama

Publication number: 20030014261Abstract: An apparatus has both a function to enter a plurality of items required for processing by means of key input by repeating an operation in which an item is selected from a displayed list using a key selection, which causes the display of another list of items related to the selected item, and a function to enter a plurality of items required for processing by means of voice input by entering each item via voice. An item may be entered by a combination of key input and voice input. When an item is entered by either key input or voice input, a list of items related to the entered item is displayed. Alternatively, upon a request for list view in a voice-input mode, a list of items for key input is presented, and the input mode is temporarily switched to a key-input mode. Once an item has been selected from the presented list using a key selection, the input mode is returned to the voice-input mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2002Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventor: Hiroaki Kageyama
