  • Patent number: 10593227
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium contains an evaluation program that causes a computer to perform steps of obtaining a vehicle stability score of vehicle driving skills based on measured data, obtaining a turning performance score of the vehicle driving skills based on the measured data, obtaining an overall evaluation result of the vehicle driving skills based on the vehicle stability score and the turning performance score using conversion information, and conveying the overall evaluation result to an output unit. The conversion information defines the overall evaluation result such that the overall evaluation result decreases as the turning performance score increases if the vehicle stability score is lower than a threshold and such that the overall evaluation result increases as the turning performance score increases if the vehicle stability score is higher than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 9245395
    Abstract: A rider characteristic determining apparatus capable of determining characteristics of a rider controlling a saddle riding type vehicle, and a saddle riding type vehicle including the same, are configured such that the rider's characteristics are determined from a turning movement of the saddle riding type vehicle which reflects results of the rider controlling the saddle riding type vehicle. This enables a stable characteristic determination regardless of individual operation or control by the rider. Further, a turning performance score of the vehicle is calculated based on at least one of vehicle state amounts of a roll direction, a pitch direction and a caster angle which influence the steering angle of the saddle riding type vehicle. This enables a proper evaluation of the turning characteristic of the saddle riding type vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20090312665
    Abstract: A mental work load detector arranged to sense the electroencephalogram of a person and estimate a mental work load on the perceptual-motor system and a mental work load on the perceptual-central processing system separately from each other includes a electroencephalogram sensor arranged to sense the electroencephalogram of a rider, an eye fixation-related potential detector arranged to detect an eye fixation-related potential by analyzing the electroencephalogram and to detect a lambda response, an event-related potential measuring device arranged to measure an event-related potential in response to a sound from a speaker and to detect auditory p300, a lambda response comparator arranged to determine whether the lambda response has decreased, an auditory p300 comparator arranged to determine whether the auditory p300 has decreased, and a mental work load determiner arranged to determine that the mental work load on the perceptual-central processing system has increased if the lambda reaction and the auditory

  • Publication number: 20040054819
    Abstract: When a user inputs data to a device having a plurality of data input units such as a text data input unit, e.g., a keyboard, a screen or the like and a voice data input unit, e.g., a microphone or the like, an optimal input method is automatically selected and provided to the user in accordance with an item of the data to be inputted by the user. A data input method selects an optimal input unit for the user from the text data input unit and the voice data input unit to control a data input operation in accordance with information such as the type of an item of data to be inputted, a data amount, an ambient noise state, a recognition result at the time of inputting data with voice, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20040010409
    Abstract: There are provided a voice recognition system, a device, a voice recognition method, a voice recognition program and a computer-readable recording medium in which the audio recognition program is recorded in order to be able to implement at least one of audio recognition above vocabulary processed by one device and retention of appropriate vocabulary stored in one device. Audio data received by a client are recognized by an audio recognition engine and when its recognition result is rejected, the audio data is transmitted to a server and the recognition result in the server is transmitted to the client. The client updates a recognition dictionary according to the number of recognitions and integrates the recognition results in a result integration part. The client may be used instead of the server.
