Abstract: An information collection unit collects information indicating a driving operation of a vehicle by a driver and a state of the vehicle changed by the driving operation, and outputs, among the collected information, information in a period from a start point at which a driving operation contributing to stop of the vehicle is performed to a stop start point in a stop state where a stop time of the vehicle continues for a predetermined time or more, as driving operation information. A state estimation unit acquires driver state information indicating a state of the driver from a learned learner on which machine learning has been performed so as to output the driver state information when the driving operation information is input, by inputting the driving operation information output from the information collection unit to the learner and performing arithmetic processing of the learner.

Abstract: A touch operation is performed on a touch panel on which a knob for input operation can be placed, using the knob or another operation object. A touch detection unit detects the touch operation in a first detection method and a second detection method which are different from each other. Based on the result of detection in the first detection method, a knob touch point determining unit identifies the position where the touch operation has been performed by the knob, and outputs the touch information. A knob-finger contact determining unit determines whether a finger is in contact with the knob based on the touch information and the result of detection in the second detection method. It is possible to perform, without fail, the determination as to whether a knob or another object is in contact with the touch panel, and whether a finger is in contact with the knob which is in contact with the touch panel.

Abstract: An information acquiring unit acquires information from a detection device mounted on a vehicle. A near accident determining unit determines whether or not a near accident has occurred at the vehicle using the information acquired by the information acquiring unit. A near accident cause classifying unit classifies the cause of the near accident determined by the near accident determining unit. A near accident level determining unit determines the level of the near accident determined by the near accident determining unit and also determines whether or not the level of the near accident exceeds a corresponding one of predetermined threshold levels. A notification destination determining unit determines a target individual to be notified of information regarding the near accident that is determined to exceed the corresponding threshold level by the near accident level determining unit.

Abstract: An operation input device includes a knob disposed in a display region of a touch display, and a conductor column provided in the knob that can be detected as a touch point irrespective of whether or not the knob is in a state of being touched with a user's finger. The operation input device detects a plurality of touch points including the touch point corresponding to the conductor column and outputs touch information related to the plurality of detected touch points, determines the touch point corresponding to the conductor column among the detected plurality of touch points, calculates a touch strength value at the touch point corresponding to the conductor column, and determines whether or not the knob is in a state of being touched with the user's finger based on the touch strength value.

Abstract: An attribute acquiring unit (12) acquires pieces of area information indicating multiple split areas into which the screen of a display (42) equipped with a touch sensor (22) is split, and attribution information for each of the multiple split areas. An area specifying unit (14) specifies a split area including the position of an operation device (21) detected by a position detecting unit (11) by using the pieces of area information acquired by the attribute acquiring unit (12). An action specifying unit (15) specifies an action corresponding to details of an operation performed on the operation device (21), the details being detected by an operation detail detecting unit (13), by using the attribution information corresponding to the split area specified by the area specifying unit (14), and outputs information indicating the action to an HMI control unit (31).
