Patent number: 12059976Abstract: An in-seat experience system includes: a seat which includes a seat body, a sensor, and a seat controller allowed to acquire a measurement value from the sensor; an experience instruction device connected to the seat controller, configured to notify an occupant seated on the seat body a motion instruction and to store user identification information; and a server capable of communicating with the experience instruction device. The experience instruction device makes a determination based upon a measurement value of the sensor as to whether or not a first condition is satisfied, and to transmit a result of the determination to the server when at least the first condition is satisfied, and the server is allowed to increase a point score stored for the corresponding user identification information with a condition that the result of the determination that the first condition is satisfied is received from the experience instruction device.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: TS TECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kaku, Satoru Kaneda, Munetaka Kowa, Hiroyuki Numajiri, Satoshi Fujita, Takako Miyoshi, Atsushi Kusano, Ryuichiro Hirose, Yoshikazu Ito, Yousuke Higashi, Satoshi Suzuki, Ryosuke Sato, Kento Uetake

Publication number: 20240262340Abstract: There are provided a display system and a vehicle that provide good usability to an occupant. A display system includes: a projection device provided in a vehicle interior of a vehicle and capable of projecting a video in the vehicle interior; a sensor provided in the vehicle to detect a state of the vehicle or an occupant of the vehicle; and a control unit that receives a signal from the sensor to control the projection device. The control unit changes a projection state of the projection device based on the signal from the sensor. By automatically changing the projection state of the projection device, the effort for the occupant to operate the projection device is saved, and the usability of the projection device is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2022Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Hiroyuki NUMAJIRI, Kazuhiro SHIMIZU, Mika KUROSAWA, Hiroshi YOGO, Shoichi TAKAHASHI, Yuta OSHINO, Takuya OZAKI, Hiroki ITO, Jinichi TANABE, Takayoshi ITO
