Patent number: 11961059Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Nobuaki Matsueda, Takashi Sueki, Jun Okamoto, Takumi Wada, Ryo Midorikawa, Junichi Nonaka, Wataru Shiraishi, Yasuhisa Fujiwara, Hiroshi Ishikawa, Shigeru Ichikawa, Hidetaka Eguchi, Masayo Nagai, Mika Inaba

Patent number: 8346970Abstract: A data relay device has a reception processing unit for dividing transmitted data into data blocks to store in a storage unit together with labels for managing the data blocks, a manipulation processing unit for manipulating the data blocks stored in the storage unit and a transmission processing unit for transmitting the data blocks of which manipulation is completed to a destination. Since the reception processing unit divides the transmitted data while receiving the same, the reception processing unit, the manipulation processing unit and the transmission processing unit may operated in parallel, thereby realizing reduction of time required to relay the transmitted data.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Nonaka, Tsuyoshi Fujihara

Patent number: 7840957Abstract: A computer program and apparatus that minimize the time required to update installed programs to a new version. Upon receipt of a request for updating old version software to a new version, a version information collector first obtains version information describing specified new version software. Then a processing time calculator calculates update processing times for a full update process, a partial update process, and a copy & update process, based on the obtained version information about the new version software, as well as based on version information describing the old version software. A process selector compares the calculated update processing times and selects the fastest update process. Then an updating unit executes the selected fastest update process to update the old version software to the new version software.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2006Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Junji Kumashiro, Hiroshi Nonaka, Akira Kumeta, Yukiya Ishioka

Patent number: 6212472Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for displaying information corresponding to a current vehicle position on a display of a vehicle navigation system. After the current vehicle position is determined by a separate process, the system determines the road on which the vehicle is currently located. The system then refers to a map database to construct a current road database corresponding to the current road. A current road segment corresponding to the current vehicle position is then determined. The system then refers to the current road database to determine a first geographical location based on the current vehicle road segment. The system then displays a text representation of the current vehicle position relative to the first geographical location.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1997Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: Visteon Technologies, LLCInventors: Hiroshi Nonaka, Lihung Lin

Patent number: 6097316Abstract: A method for transmitting data from a navigation system to a vehicle controller in a vehicle having a plurality of systems controlled by the vehicle controller is described. The plurality of systems includes a user interface and the navigation system. A request is received from the vehicle controller for interface data of a particular data type to be presented in the user interface. A first transmission protocol is selected from a plurality of transmission protocols for transmitting the interface data to the vehicle controller. The first transmission protocol is selected based, at least in part, on the data type of the interface data. The interface data are then transmitted to the vehicle controller according to the first transmission protocol.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Visteon Technologies, LLCInventors: Jeff Liaw, Hiroshi Nonaka

Patent number: 5832408Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a destination in a vehicle navigation system are described. The vehicle navigation system includes a display and a selection control. A first destination is selected from a primary list of destinations in response to a selection signal generated by the selection control. The first destination is placed on a secondary list of destinations in response to its selection. The secondary list includes previously selected destinations from the primary list. For subsequent destination selections, the primary and secondary lists are presented on the display thereby facilitating selection of destinations from both the primary and secondary lists. A feature by which the system may search for a destination across categories is also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Zexel CorporationInventors: Haruhisa Tamai, Hiroshi Nonaka, Masayuki Sekine
