  • Patent number: 12198399
    Abstract: A luminance determining unit determines a luminance distribution of an exterior circumstantial image in a line-of-sight direction of a driver, and a luminance changing unit determines a bright region of this luminance distribution. Further, the luminance changing unit determines a luminance after the change in a peripheral region of this bright region. A virtual-image creating unit creates a virtual image based on the determined luminance, and a display processing unit displays this virtual image on a display unit. In this manner, since a display system displays the virtual image for use in increasing the luminance in periphery of the bright region, the feeling of the brightness for the driver can be moderated, and therefore, the visual recognition can be improved. That is, the display system can output the virtual image depending on the circumstances.

  • Patent number: 12160189
    Abstract: An electric motor control method is an control method which is capable of selecting a first mode or a second mode as a control mode for controlling an operation of the electric motor according to an operating state of the electric motor. The method, when the second mode is selected as the control mode, stops a part of processing in the first mode, and continuously executes other processing including integral calculation except for the part of processing in the first mode. Also, the method, when the control mode is switched from the second mode to the first mode, starts the part of processing by using at least one control value obtained by continuing the other processing.
