  • Patent number: 10930142
    Abstract: In a remote control device, a confirmation information notifying part notifies confirmation information for transmission of a control instruction before the transmission of the control instruction by a control instruction transmitting part, in a case where when an operation instruction to a selected electronic device is input by an operation instruction inputting part, a same kind device determining part determines that a plurality of the electronic devices of the same kind as the selected electronic device exist, and the distance determining part determines that the distance between the selected electronic device and the remote control device is equal to or larger than the distance threshold value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2021
    Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Naoko Imai, Genesio Chang, Ken Oiwa

  • Patent number: 8160816
    Abstract: According to a vehicular behavior determination device (100) of the present invention, an angular velocity vector ?(k) which represents an angular velocity around each of 3 axes of a vehicle (1) can be determined in high accuracy on the basis of a temporal variation mode of a posture vector psti(k) (i=x, y, z) which represents a posture of the vehicle (1) in a global coordinate system in an attempt to curtail a manufacture cost and size of the vehicle (1) by avoiding the usage of a 3-axis gyro sensor which is relatively expensive in price and large in size.
