Kinichiro Nishiyama has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8630589
    Abstract: Individual radio sets 12a-12e constituting an onboard radio communication system operate together with an adjacent vehicle detection unit (ultrasonic sensors 13a-13e) for detecting a second vehicle adjacent to a first vehicle 11. When it detects the adjacent vehicle, a radio interference decision unit constituting the radio sets 12a-12e decides radio interference due to an onboard radio communication system with the same radio scheme. When it detects the radio interference, a frequency channel switching unit constituting the radio sets 12a-12e switches the frequency channel to be used to avoid the interference of the radio waves.

  • Patent number: 8228895
    Abstract: A radio communication device is provided, including a radio control unit for achieving timing synchronization using frames having a fixed period, assigning a transmission and reception interval during which a report signal for informing state management information about each communication device and a control signal for controlling each radio communication device are transmitted and received to a fixed time interval at the head of each frame, for transmitting and receiving application data to and from a partner radio communication device during another time interval, and for reserving and securing some of communication band units, each of which has a fixed width and into which each frame is divided according to a difference between the transmission rate of the application data and that of a signal in a wireless section, on a unit-by-unit basis by using the report signal and the control signal.
