Patent number: 9739628Abstract: Intersection guide systems, methods, and programs acquire information on a path of a vehicle and acquire a travel direction of the vehicle at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle on the basis of the information on the path. The systems, methods, and programs display a guide image that represents the travel direction superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than an image of the guide intersection, and a connection line image as superimposed on the forward scene, the connection line image connecting between the image of the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image. The connection line image is superimposed on the forward scene such that a length of the connection line image becomes shorter as a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes larger.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: AISIN AW CO., LTDInventors: Ken Ishikawa, Kosei Mino, Yoshito Kondo, Saki Osoko, Yumie Arai

Patent number: 9347786Abstract: Intersection guide systems, methods, and programs acquire information on a vehicle path, acquire a vehicle travel direction at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle based on the information on the path, and cause a display to transition from a first display state to a second display state when a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes equal to or more than a threshold. In the first display state, the display displays a guide image that represents the travel direction superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than the guide intersection, and displays a connection line image superimposed on the forward scene that connects between the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image. In the second display state, the display displays the guide image superimposed on the guide intersection in the forward scene.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventors: Ken Ishikawa, Kosei Mino, Yoshito Kondo, Saki Osoko, Yumie Arai

Patent number: 8086395Abstract: An in-vehicle navigation system includes a navigation device that further includes a receiving unit configured to receive information, a storage unit configured to store the received information, and a guidance unit. The navigation system further includes: a battery voltage detector; a temperature sensor; and a control device. The control device includes: a determination unit and a start-up control unit configured to periodically start the navigation device while the vehicle's engine is off, or cancel start-up of the navigation device based upon the detected battery voltage, a predetermined voltage level, and current and/or predicted temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kosei Mino
