Abstract: An object is to provide a travel environment analysis apparatus that accurately estimates an event occurring outside of a vehicle. A travel environment analysis apparatus includes a gaze point concentration area detector, a gaze point concentration area event estimation unit, and an information output unit. The gaze point concentration area detector sequentially detects a gaze point concentration area that is an area outside of a plurality of vehicles and gazed by occupants of the plurality of vehicles, based on line-of-sight information related to lines of sight of the occupants. The gaze point concentration area event estimation unit estimates, when a new gaze point concentration area which is a gaze point concentration area newly coming up is detected, an event occurring in the new gaze point concentration area. The information output unit outputs information of the new gaze point concentration area and information of the event.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus is provided that is highly convenient for a user to view a map screen and a menu window. A display controller 15 determines a view mode of each of a map screen and a menu window, based on information about a travel condition of a moving object from a route search unit 12 and an own-vehicle location identification unit, when the menu window is displayed according to information entered from an input unit 10. A display map generator 16 generates a map screen according to information about the view mode from the display controller 15. A display menu generator 17 generates a menu window according to information about the view mode from the display controller 15. A display unit 21 displays the map screen from the display map generator 16 and the menu window from the menu generator 17.

Abstract: A navigation system capable of enabling a user to use navigation functions such as route guidance without setting a destination. It includes an information recording unit for storing a driving history, a destination estimating unit for estimating a destination from the driving history stored in the information recording unit, a route computing unit for calculating a route to the destination estimated by the destination estimating unit, and an information display unit for causing the route calculated by the route computing unit to be displayed.

Abstract: A parking support apparatus includes: a vehicle position locating control unit for locating a present position; a parking support database in which a guideline to be displayed at parking is registered for each parking space; cameras for shooting surroundings; a parking support screen generating unit for acquiring, when parking in a parking space placed at the position located by the vehicle position locating control unit, the guideline corresponding to the parking space from the parking support database, and for generating a parking support screen by superposing the guideline upon an image or images taken with the cameras; and a display unit for displaying the parking support screen created by the parking support screen generating unit. Accordingly, it can offer a parking support apparatus capable of displaying the optimum parking support image corresponding to a parking space and improving convenience.
