Abstract: An agent device executes processing including receiving words and actions from an occupant of a vehicle, identifying an intention of the received words and actions, selecting, as a recommended function, a function of the vehicle that is recommended for activation based on the identified intention of the vehicle occupant, deciding which of activating the selected recommended function, or suggesting the activation thereof, to execute based on predetermined conditions pertaining to an environment of the vehicle, and instructing the vehicle either to activate the recommended function or to suggest the activation thereof based on the decision.

Abstract: A vehicle agent device receives a captured image and vehicle information from an on-board unit, identifies an occupant from the captured image, specifies attributes of the occupant it identified, searches for vehicle functions corresponding to the attributes it specified, and sends, as description information to an on-board unit, a moving image that introduces the vehicle functions.

Abstract: A target value obtaining section obtains a target value for the difference in rotational motion between a first motor and a second motor and a target value for output torque. A torque command value calculating section calculates a torque command value for the first motor and a torque command value for the second motor that achieve both of the target value for the difference in rotational motion and the target value for the output torque by using an inverse model of a motion model corresponding to a merging system.

Abstract: An information processing device acquires question information. The information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing a state of the vehicle. The information processing device acquires answer information in response to the question information, the answer information including an image for display. The information processing device, in a case in which the vehicle state information represents that the vehicle is traveling, stores the answer information in a storage. The information processing device, in a case in which the information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing that the vehicle is stopped, outputs the answer information stored in the storage.

Abstract: An agent device that receives, from an onboard device installed in a vehicle, vehicle information relating to the vehicle and question information corresponding to a question from a user, based on the vehicle information, confirms a scope of questions for which generation of a response is not possible, and instructs the onboard device to block receipt of questions falling within the scope of questions for which it has been confirmed that response generation is not possible.

Abstract: An agent device receives input information that is input by the user, in a case in which the input information is a question from the user, executes inference processing on the input information to infer an intent of the question in order to acquire a response to the question based on the intent, in a case in which a plurality of the responses are acquired, provides the notification device with option information that includes the plurality of responses as options, in a case in which new input information is received, determines whether the new input information is information requiring the inference processing or is selection information relating to a selection result from selection of the options, and in a case in which the new input information is the selection information, provides the notification device with response information regarding the response associated with the selection result without executing the inference processing.

Abstract: An agent device that receives state information regarding a state of a vehicle from the vehicle, and receive a question from a user as question information; performs inference processing for the received question information and the received state information in order to infer an intent of the question; and acquires a response to the question based on the inferred intent.

Abstract: An agent system includes a first memory and a first processor coupled to the first memory. The first processor analyzes contents of a verbal question, and caries out pre-processing that replaces vocabulary, which is used in the contents of the question, with homogenized vocabulary, and generates response information based on results of analysis. In a case in which there exists substitution vocabulary that has replaced original vocabulary in the pre-processing, the first processor changes the response information such that it can be recognized that the substitution vocabulary in the response information is synonymous with the original vocabulary, and outputs the response information.

The planetary gear mechanism also has a second planetary gear train that includes the ring gear, the planetary carrier, the first planetary pinion, a second planetary pinion that is turnably supported by the planetary carrier, and a second sun gear that is connected to a second output shaft.

Abstract: In cases in which a confidence score of an inferred intent label is a predetermined threshold or less, an intent inference section searches for whether or not wording pertaining to a location, such as “on the door”, is present in a question. In cases in which a word relating to a location is present, the intent inference section consults individual function identification data associated with OM item codes in order to find intent labels including individual functions relevant to the location (such as “door”). In cases in which an intent label including an individual function relevant to the “door” is found, an OMA interaction control section consults QA data to find and acquire associated response information based on the found intent label and the OM item code, and notifies a HMI interaction control section of such response information.

Abstract: A vehicle driving apparatus includes a first motor, a second motor, and a planetary mechanism, and obtains a driving force by combining motive forces obtained from the first motor and the second motor by a planetary gear of the planetary mechanism. The vehicle driving apparatus includes at least one of a design value and a control quantity in which a frequency ratio between a sound generated by a rotation of the first motor and a sound generated by a rotation of the second motor satisfies a reduction condition of dissonance.

Abstract: The flexibility of the attachment angle and attachment interval of the member (e.g., injector) attached to the joint member is increased to improve the flexibility of layout even in the case of the forged rail for high-pressure direct injection. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced while keeping high strength of the joint portion.
