Abstract: In a voice output apparatus, an acquisition unit acquires a speech of an occupant of a vehicle. A determination unit determines whether or not the acquired speech is asking for repetition or rephrasing. A classification unit classifies, when it is determined that the speech is the asking, the speech according to a type of asking. An output unit outputs a voice sound in accordance with the classified type of the asking based on a content of a voice sound that is a target of the asking.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a server and a first vehicle acquiring a combination of first and second position information of the first vehicle. The first position information is calculated using a positioning signal from the first satellite system. The second position information is obtained by correcting an error of the first position information using a positioning reinforcement signal from the second satellite system. The first vehicle or the server calculates difference information between the first and second position information for each combination thereof. The server estimates a calculation accuracy for the first position information in a road section on a road map based on one or more pieces of difference information in which one or more positions indicated by the second position information corresponding to the difference information are within the road section and to output the calculation accuracy for the first position information in the road section.

Abstract: A server of an information processing system receives, from each of the vehicles, a signal detection location where a traffic signal is detected by an imaging unit of each of the vehicles, and travel information at the signal detection location, calculates, based on the information from each of the vehicles, a mean distance L from the signal detection location to the traffic signal, and a mean speed S at the signal detection location, and evaluate a risk of the traffic signal based on at least the mean distance L and the mean speed S. The server then provides attention information to the vehicle approaching the traffic signal having the risk higher than a prescribed value.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a first information processing apparatus, and a plurality of second information processing apparatuses. The first information processing apparatus acquires movement history information on an infected person with a predetermined infectious disease, identifies, based on the movement history information, a first place that the infected person visited and a first visit date and time, and notifies the second information processing apparatus associated with the first place of information about the first place and the first visit date and time. Each second information processing apparatus identifies, based on visit history information including a visit date and time of the predetermined place by users who are associated with the predetermined place, a first user who visited the first place on the first visit date and time, and notify the first user of possibility of being infected with the predetermined infectious disease.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a vehicle, and a server configured to communicate with the vehicle. The vehicle generates a captured image of scenery outside the vehicle. The vehicle or the server: starts a first detection processing of successively detecting a first subject in the captured image; determines, as a target region, a partial region of the captured image including a prescribed number of first subjects when the prescribed number of the first subjects are detected; terminates the first detection processing of the target region; and performs image processing of lowering visibility of an image on the target region. The server then transmits the captured image subjected to the image processing to a transmission destination other than the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle capable of transmitting power to another vehicle includes an acquisition section that acquires a distance from a location of the vehicle to a specified point; a comparison section that compares the distance with a cruising range of the vehicle; and a control section that controls the power transmission to the other vehicle according to a comparison result.
