  • Publication number: 20250078195
    Abstract: An information management device includes: a storage unit and a comparator unit. The storage unit stores setting information indicating stance and payable points; stance indicates whether a user boarding a host vehicle is to yield to a target vehicle or is to be given right of way by the target vehicle, when the travel paths of the vehicles intersect; the payable points are the upper limit of payment points to be paid to the user boarding the target vehicle when the target vehicle changes its path. The comparator unit refers to the setting information when a first traveling device of a first vehicle detects a second vehicle as the target vehicle, and compares the stance and the payable points of a first user boarding the first vehicle with those of a second user boarding the second vehicle, to determine the vehicle to change its travel path and the payment points.

  • Publication number: 20240420480
    Abstract: A control device controls an output device that outputs a stimulus. The control device includes an acquisition unit that acquires a video obtained by an image capturing device by capturing images of a plurality of people existed in a place where movement in a plurality of directions is possible and a control unit that detects a moving people count as a number of people who moved in a first direction among the plurality of directions based on the video, calculates a ratio of the people who moved in the first direction by using the moving people count, and when a situation where the ratio is less than a predetermined threshold value is continuing for a predetermined set time, executes control for changing the stimulus currently outputted by the output device to a different stimulus.

  • Publication number: 20240013501
    Abstract: A motion sickness regulation device includes processing circuitry to generate stimulus information to be used for displaying a motion sickness regulation image for regulating a level of motion sickness occurring to a user viewing a gaze region, as a region in which real scenery is visible or a region in which a gaze image as an image including a gaze target is displayed, based on movement of the scenery or the gaze image in the gaze region; and to generate the motion sickness regulation image based on the stimulus information, to specify a motion sickness regulation region as a region as part or a whole of a region excluding the gaze region, and to have the motion sickness regulation image displayed in the motion sickness regulation region.

  • Publication number: 20220238083
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires prediction information indicating whether or not a mobile object is scheduled to rotate at a first place. The control unit makes a display device display motion sickness prevention information moving in a first direction based on a direction in which the mobile object is scheduled to rotate or in a direction opposite to the first direction before the mobile object reaches the first place when the prediction information indicates that the mobile object is scheduled to rotate at the first place.

  • Patent number: 9607430
    Abstract: A model generator 2 arranges a three-dimensional model on a base line. A model renderer 4 renders the three-dimensional model. A distance map generator 5 converts each depth of the three-dimensional model rendered into a distance from the base line. An alpha map generator 7 converts the distance from the base line into an alpha value.
