  • Patent number: 11651320
    Abstract: A delivery notification mail for notifying each of users of information regarding a corresponding one of packages to be delivered by a delivery vehicle is transmitted to a first information terminal (2) owned by the user. Opening time information indicating an opening time of each of the delivery notification mails is received from the corresponding first information terminal (2). A degree of interest of each of the users in the corresponding package is calculated. The degree of interest is calculated on the basis of a difference between a transmission time of the delivery notification mail corresponding to each of the packages and the opening time indicated by the opening time information. Order of delivery of the packages is set on the basis of the degrees of interest. Delivery order information indicating the order of delivery is transmitted to a second information terminal (3).

  • Patent number: 11415995
    Abstract: A control device includes an electronic control unit executes steering control for avoiding a collision with an object that has a possibility of colliding with a host vehicle. The electronic control unit sets a timing when the host vehicle is predicted to pass the object as an end timing of the steering control when the steering control is performed. The electronic control unit determines whether or not a deviation possibility is present when the electronic control unit assumes that the steering control ends at the end timing. The deviation possibility is a possibility of the host vehicle deviating from a current traveling lane accompanying an end of the steering control. The electronic control unit performs reduction processing that reduces the deviation possibility when the electronic control unit determines that the deviation possibility is present.
