Publication number: 20260229118Abstract: An information processing device includes a position information acquisition device that acquires information indicating a position of a vehicle, an information transmission device that periodically transmits the information indicating the position of the vehicle acquired by the position information acquisition device to a server, and a storage device. The information processing device sets a transmission interval for transmitting the information indicating the position of the vehicle to the server such that the transmission interval becomes shorter as a vehicle speed of the vehicle decreases. The information processing device is configured to determine whether a recording trigger condition is satisfied based on a change in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and when the recording trigger condition is determined to be satisfied, to store information indicating a position of the vehicle at a time when the recording trigger condition is satisfied in a storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2025Publication date: August 6, 2026Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kosuke OHASHI

Patent number: 12676032Abstract: An information processing device for a vehicle includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire vehicle location information that is information indicating a location of the vehicle, periodically transmit the acquired vehicle location information to a server, and change a transmission interval at which the vehicle location information is transmitted to the server in accordance with a speed range in which a speed of the vehicle is. The speed range is one of at least a first speed range and a second speed range in which a speed of the vehicle is higher than in the first speed range. The processing circuitry is configured to cause the transmission interval in the second speed range to be longer than the transmission interval in the first speed range.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2024Date of Patent: July 7, 2026Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kosuke Ohashi

Patent number: 12591291Abstract: The information processing device includes a CPU, DRAM, SRAM and hibernation circuitry. The hibernation circuit executes an evacuation processing of reading out particular data which is data stored in DRAM and storing the particular data in SRAM when a predetermined execution condition for hibernation is satisfied. CPU shuts off the electric power supply to DRAM while maintaining the electric power supply to SRAM after the evacuation processing is completed. When startup, CPU reads out the particular data stored in SRAM when the particular data is stored in SRAM.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2024Date of Patent: March 31, 2026Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Satofumi Kurisu, Kosuke Ohashi, Ryo Anan, Ryota Nakabayashi, Nobutaka Suzuki, Kiyoto Suzuki

Patent number: 12536272Abstract: An unprotected area of a storage stores a monitoring application. A protected area of the storage stores a duplicate application that is a copy of the monitoring application at a point in time when the monitoring application was stored in the unprotected area. Based on an execution signal of the monitoring application, a CPU stores, as first data in a RAM, a copy of a source code included in the monitoring application. The CPU also executes the monitoring application based on the first data. Based on the execution signal, the CPU stores, as second data in the RAM, the copy of the source code included in the duplicate application. During execution of the monitoring application, the CPU stops execution of the monitoring application when a discrepancy is detected between the first data and the second data.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2024Date of Patent: January 27, 2026Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Satofumi Kurisu, Kosuke Ohashi, Ryo Anan, Ryota Nakabayashi, Nobutaka Suzuki, Kiyoto Suzuki

Patent number: 12466411Abstract: An in-vehicle computer includes an execution device and a storage device including a RAM. The storage device stores programs of a plurality of applications to be executed by the execution device. The RAM stores temporary data of the applications. When the execution device determines that the RAM is running out of capacity, the execution device compresses the temporary data of the application stored in the RAM. At this time, the execution device compresses only the temporary data of the application other than the application that has been activated and is being executed by the execution device.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2024Date of Patent: November 11, 2025Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kosuke Ohashi

Patent number: 12323847Abstract: A communication system includes: a communication device configured to communicate with a server external to a vehicle; and a control device. The control device is configured to: control the communication device to receive predetermined data from the server while the vehicle is traveling along a travel route to a destination; acquire first and second ranges among the travel route; control the communication device to receive the data while the vehicle is traveling in the first range; and control the communication device in such a way that an interruption process is completed before the vehicle travels in the second range. The first range is a range where the data is received. The second range is a range where the data is not received. The interruption process is a process of interrupting the reception of the data in a resumable state.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2024Date of Patent: June 3, 2025Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kosuke Ohashi
