  • Publication number: 20260103215
    Abstract: A data device includes a reference conversion unit and a reconversion unit. The reference conversion unit inputs a reference operation parameter output by a reference machine control model established by machine learning an operation on a reference machine device, converts the reference operation parameter into a behavior parameter that is independent of individual machine devices, and outputs the behavior parameter. The reconversion unit reconverts the behavior parameter into a control operation parameter, which is an operation parameter having a same type of the reference operation parameter, in accordance with a machine characteristic of the control target machine device.

  • Patent number: 11378024
    Abstract: A control method for an internal combustion engine which is a driving source of a vehicle in which a driving force is transmitted to a transmission when a clutch is engaged, the control method includes: when the internal combustion engine which is automatically stopped in a state where the clutch is disengaged is restarted, performing a torque down control to decrease a target torque of the internal combustion engine when the clutch is engaged; setting a predetermined torque release time period determined in accordance with a driving state; and ending the torque down control at a timing at which the torque release time period is elapsed from an engagement command of the clutch which is generated during the torque down control.

  • Patent number: 11041451
    Abstract: A control method for an internal combustion engine in which a driving force is transmitted through a clutch to a driving wheel of a vehicle, the control method includes: when the internal combustion engine which is automatically stopped in a state where the clutch is disengaged is restarted, performing a torque down control to decrease a target torque of the internal combustion engine when the clutch is engaged; and setting a target torque in the torque down control, to a predetermined torque lower limit value determined in accordance with a driving state, the torque lower limit value including at least one of a predetermined full open value set when an accelerator opening degree is full open, and a predetermined full close value set when the accelerator opening degree is full close.
