  • Publication number: 20240114028
    Abstract: A detection device includes: a monitoring unit configured to monitor a periodic message and an event message as messages in an in-vehicle network, each message having, assigned thereto, identification information of a transmission source and a sequence number; a counter unit configured to change a counter value corresponding to the identification information, when the detection device has received the event message from the in-vehicle network; and a detection unit configured to compare the sequence number with the counter value, based on a result of monitoring, and perform provisional determination for detection of an unauthorized message, based on a result of the comparison. The detection unit performs conclusive determination for detection of the unauthorized message, based on an interval of messages that satisfy a predetermined condition regarding the sequence number, among messages to which the same identification information is assigned, and on a predetermined transmission cycle of the periodic message.

  • Patent number: 11866121
    Abstract: An electric mobility vehicle including a front-wheel-side body, a rear-wheel-side body, a seat on which a passenger sits in an in-use state, and a linking mechanism that links the front-wheel-side body with the rear-wheel-side body so as to be pivotable about a pivoting axis extending in a vehicle width direction. The electric mobility vehicle is foldable by pivoting the front-wheel-side body and the rear-wheel-side body relative to each other in a vehicle front-to-rear direction. The electric mobility vehicle includes a footrest provided in the front-wheel-side body, a front-end roller or a front-end caster provided in the front-wheel-side body and disposed at a vehicle front side relative to a front end of the front wheel in the in-use state, and comes into contact with the floor surface in the folded state to make the electric mobility vehicle stand alone.

  • Publication number: 20230229156
    Abstract: The technology disclosed in the present specification is embodied as a support device for supporting maintenance on an apparatus including an expendable component. The support device includes at least one computer. The at least one computer executes: a process of acquiring an index indicative of a consumption level of the expendable component; a process of, at a time point when the index indicative the consumption level reaches a predetermined threshold, specifying a necessary period of time required for replacement of the expendable component at the time point; and a process of restricting an operation of the apparatus when a remaining period of time of the expendable component, the remaining period of time being associated with the threshold, is shorter than the necessary period of time required for the replacement.
