Abstract: A wiper device includes a pivot shaft, a pivot holder, a water receiving cap and a washer. The pivot holder includes a pivot support portion and a mounting leg. The pivot support portion pivotally supports the pivot shaft. The water receiving cap includes a boss portion and an umbrella portion. The boss portion is fitted onto the pivot support portion. The washer is fixed to a circumference of the pivot shaft at a portion projecting from a distal end of the pivot support portion. At least part of the boss portion overlaps the washer in an axial direction. The umbrella portion includes a projection that projects in the axial direction. The projection opposes the mounting leg in a circumferential direction without engaging the mounting leg in the axial direction.

Abstract: A speech system includes a processor configured to acquire a situation value indicating a situation involving a plurality of persons based on pieces of emotion information indicating emotions of the plurality of persons, and control a speech of an object based on the acquired situation value.

Abstract: A vehicle-use information terminal according to the present invention is provided with an information acquisition unit which acquires post information from an external WEB service center. Furthermore, the vehicle-use information terminal is provided with an information summary unit which summarizes a plurality of post information for which post content is shared or is similar from among post information which has been acquired by the information acquisition unit.

Abstract: An inattentive state determination device includes an observed amount acquiring means for acquiring information on the driver's line of sight and at least one of either information on driving operations or information on the traveling state as an observed amount; and an inattentive state determining means for determining the inattentive state of the driver based on the stochastic relationship between the inattentive state and the observed amount as well as the observed amount acquired by using the observed amount acquiring means. In addition, the inattentive state determining means calculates the probability that the driver is driving inattentively and determines that the driver is driving inattentively when the calculated probability exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A route searching apparatus includes a travel route accumulation unit, an algorithm selection unit to select route searching algorithms to meet the preference of a user based on the accumulated travel routes, and a route searching unit to perform a route search up to a destination by using the selected algorithms. Preferably, the algorithm searching unit searches for each of the travel routes accumulated in the accumulation unit by means of several algorithms, calculates, for each algorithm, a match rate between the searched route and the actual travel route, and selects an algorithm of the highest match rate. Also, it is preferable that a condition common to roads avoided by the user is extracted from the accumulated travel routes, and a route search is performed by adjusting search costs so as to make such roads less prone to be selected.

Abstract: An eco-driving probability density estimation unit and an eco-driving awareness pre-learning unit resets an evaluation standard of driving of a driver of a host vehicle for each condition in which the host vehicle is driven for each driving evaluation. Therefore, it becomes possible to set the evaluation standard of the driving in accordance with an actual condition during evaluation compared to a case where the standard for uniformly evaluating the driving is set. An eco-driving capability/proficiency estimation unit and an eco-driving awareness estimation unit evaluate the driving of the driver of the host vehicle by the evaluation standard reset by the eco-driving probability density estimation unit and the eco-driving awareness pre-learning unit. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform driving evaluation more suitable for the actual condition.
