  • Patent number: 11961059
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230331088
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes an output unit that outputs output light of display information to be visually recognized as a virtual image by an occupant in a vehicle cabin, a reflector that directly or indirectly receives the output light, and reflects the output light toward an eye box indicating a region in which the occupant can visibly recognize the virtual image, and a controller that controls an operation of the output unit. The output unit includes a display unit that emits the display information as display light, a turning-back mirror that reflects, as the output light, the display light emitted from the display unit, a holding member that holds the display unit and the turning-back mirror without changing relative positions of the display unit and the turning-back mirror, and a drive mechanism that can reciprocate the holding member along an optical axial direction of the turning-back mirror.

  • Patent number: 11789263
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes a liquid crystal display device including a display surface for displaying an image; and an optical system including a reflecting surface, and forming an optical path of display light from the display surface toward an eye point of a vehicle. The optical system includes a first reflecting surface placed closest to the display surface in the optical path of the display light, and a magnifying reflecting surface that magnifies and reflects the display light. When viewed from an image horizontal direction, the display surface is inclined toward an optical axis of the display light extending from the display surface toward the first reflecting surface. The optical system is configured so that a width of the optical path of the display light in an image vertical direction is reduced, gradually from the display surface toward the first reflecting surface.
