  • Patent number: 10839235
    Abstract: In a light control system, a captured image of a cruising direction of a vehicle is acquired, and a light source is extracted from the captured image. A probability for estimating a light source to be a vehicle light source originating from a vehicle is calculated based on light source parameters for differentiating the light source. A dark section that is darker than the periphery and is present below the light source in the captured image is extracted. The probability is set to be higher for the light source of which the dark section is extracted. The light source having a probability that is a reference value set in advance or higher is estimated to be a light source of another vehicle. When the dark section that is detected as a shadow of a vehicle is detected, the probability of the light source being a vehicle light source is set to be high.

  • Publication number: 20200315548
    Abstract: Prediction of a disease onset risk is enabled by focusing on characteristic change in biological information depending on a time period. A prediction device SV acquires blood pressure data and determination data on irregular pulse waves and acquires input data indicating a sleep time period or information indicating a determination result of a sleep condition. Further, based on the input data indicating the sleep time period or the information indicating the determination result of the sleep condition, the sleep time period is set as a prediction target period and is divided into a first half and a second half. A degree of change in the blood pressure data and a degree of change in frequency of occurrence of irregular pulse waves in each of the first half time period and the second half time period are calculated and multiplied. With this, a total risk in the sleep time period is calculated.
