  • Patent number: 11967160
    Abstract: Conventionally, a method in which pieces of point group information for use in position matching between a white line position detected by an object detection sensor and a white line position on a map are extracted from the white line positions according to a travel environment, has not been taken into account. In the present disclosure, a point group extraction condition is changed according to change in the travel environment so that: a process of position matching that exhibits robustness with respect to change in the travel environment can be realized; and an own position and a white line position existing at a long distance from an own vehicle can be detected with high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11947280
    Abstract: A mechanism that enables developer replenishment by a simpler structure and a mechanism that enables more user-friendly developer replenishment are provided. An attachment port to which a developer supply bottle containing a developer stored therein is detachably attachable is disposed in an interior of an image forming apparatus. The developer supply bottle can be attached when the cover is in an open state. According to this image forming apparatus, when the developer supply bottle is attached to the attachment port, the developer inside the developer supply bottle moves into a developer housing chamber by its own weight.

  • Publication number: 20230381657
    Abstract: Provided are a program, an information processing device, a method, and a system that make it possible to provide sociality in a raising game such that a player may be affected by other players, which serves to improve the fun of a game. An information processing device includes: a game-medium-to-inherit accepting means for accepting, as a game medium to inherit, a raised game medium associated with another player; and a raising-game executing means for executing a raising game so as to modify a raising parameter that changes in the raising game, on the basis of one or more items of characteristic information included in the game medium to inherit associated with the other player, and so as to generate a raised game medium associated with a player on the basis of the raising parameter upon the completion of the raising game.

  • Publication number: 20230166191
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a raising-game-medium acceptance unit for accepting a raising game medium that is selected by a player and that is to be raised in a raising game; an inherited-game-medium acceptance unit for accepting, as an inherited game medium, a raised game medium selected from a group of raised game media including a plurality of raised game media the raising of which has been completed by the player in the raising game; and a raising-game execution unit for executing the raising game in which the raising game medium is to be raised, changing a raising parameter varying in the raising game on the basis of at least one item of property information possessed by the inherited game medium, and generating a raised game medium by associating a character ID included in the raising game medium with the raising parameter upon completion of the raising game.
