Publication number: 20220041056Abstract: An on-vehicle interface apparatus includes a touch screen and an I/F controller. The I/F controller stores a first message and a second message having a lower urgency level in association with respective events. The I/F controller displays operation switches including operation switches regarding traveling of a vehicle irrespectively of the events on the touch screen, and, in response to occurrence of an event, displays a corresponding message on the touch screen. The I/F controller, in response to detection of a touch operation on a display region of the first message during display of the first message, outputs to the vehicle controller a signal that instructs execution of the driving control corresponding to the first message.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Yuchi Yamanouchi, Hideto Tanaka, Masaharu Kinoshita, Daisuke Naitou, Kei Kawasaki, Takuto Munekata, Takao Shinohara

Patent number: 10203688Abstract: A manufacturing device inputs design information including three-dimensional structure data, generates a manufacturing process flow, and displays the manufacturing process flow on a screen for a user to check, modify, and confirm the flow based on design information and setting information. A process method includes a first process method of a direct modeling method having an FIB method and a second process method of a semiconductor manufacturing process method which is a non-FIB method. The manufacturing device generates a plurality of manufacturing process flows by a combination of cases where each of the process methods is applied to each of the regions of the three-dimensional data. The manufacturing process flow includes a process device, the process method, a control parameter value, a process time, and a total process time for each of process steps. An output unit outputs a manufacturing process flow having, for example, the shortest total process time.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masaharu Kinoshita, Nobuyuki Sugii, Tomonori Sekiguchi, Shuntaro Machida, Tetsufumi Kawamura
