  • Patent number: 10378910
    Abstract: Facility output systems, methods, and programs specify a purpose for which a user utilizes a facility, based on information input by the user and a facility type that enables the specified purpose to be achieved, based on stored purpose information. The stored purpose information includes facility type and the purpose that is achievable by using the facility type. The systems, methods, and programs specify a common facility type that is common to a facility type specified for a first purpose; and one of a facility type specified for a second purpose that is different from the first purpose and a facility type specified differently from the specified facility type that enables the purpose to be achieved. The systems, methods, and programs specify the facility corresponding to the specified common facility type based on stored facility information including the specified facility type and information for specifying the facility.

  • Patent number: 10346582
    Abstract: A coupling distance y of a plurality of securing elements for coupling two members to construct a casing for accommodating a circuit board having electric components mounted thereon inside space surrounded by a conductor extracted from design data, an overlapping width x of overlap sections provided to the two members for coupling the two members with the plurality of securing elements, the overlap sections contacting to each other, and a wavelength ? of electromagnetic noises generated from the electric components, are extracted. Then, a recommended coupling distance Y for the plurality of securing elements to attenuate the electromagnetic noises by a certain attenuation amount is calculated, based on the overlapping width x and the wavelength ?, and the coupling distance y is compared with the recommended coupling distance Y. Thereby, verifications of an electromagnetic noise countermeasure can be made reliably without relying on settings by a user.

  • Publication number: 20190186929
    Abstract: Route search devices, systems, and programs obtain current traffic information indicating traffic conditions at a present time and obtain statistical traffic information, the statistical traffic information being statistical information obtained by collecting statistics of histories of traffic information. The devices, systems, and programs determine a degree of traffic congestion of a road at the present time, identify travel time for a road whose degree of traffic congestion is greater than or equal to a threshold, based on the current traffic information, and identify travel time for a road whose degree of traffic congestion is less than the threshold, based on the statistical traffic information. The devices, systems, and programs then search for a route to a destination, using the identified travel time.

  • Publication number: 20190011265
    Abstract: A server is connected to a communication terminal and configured to receive a departure point, a destination, and a route retrieval request from the departure point to the destination from the terminal and to deliver a route retrieved in response to the received route retrieval request to the terminal. When the route retrieval request is acquired from the terminal, the server acquires route information related to a target route that is a route corresponding to a predetermined distance from the departure point in a terminal-recommended route that is a route from the departure point to the destination and is retrieved by using terminal-side map information provided in the terminal. The server retrieves a route to the destination that includes at least a part of the target route by using device-side map information provided in the server and the route information, and delivers the retrieved route to the terminal.

  • Patent number: 10168163
    Abstract: Navigation systems, methods, and programs output on an output device information on a set normal travel route when a guidance route for providing guidance to a user is not set. The systems, methods, and programs set a reference route satisfying a predetermined first setting condition as the normal travel route, and when the user travels along a temporary route that shares a start point and an end point with the reference route and is different from the reference route, specify a temporary travel factor that is a factor in which the user travels along the temporary route. The systems, methods, and programs set a second setting condition that varies depending on a content of the specified temporary travel factor, and change the normal travel route from the reference route to the temporary route, based on the second setting condition.
