  • Patent number: 11932138
    Abstract: An electric vehicle control method for braking of an electric vehicle applies a front braking torque to a front drive motor that drives a front wheel and applies a rear braking torque to a rear drive motor that drives a rear wheel. The method includes: during the braking, executing a torque limiting process (process B, process C, front braking torque control) that reduces the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the front wheel is detected; and executing a distribution torque changing process that increases the front braking torque while maintaining a sum of the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the rear wheel is detected.

  • Publication number: 20240075393
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stores instructions for an information processing device that comprises a processor, a display device, and an audio output device. The instructions cause the processor to execute: acquiring, from a distribution server, a game video; acquiring, from a management system, operation information regarding a player playing a game in the game video, and event information on an event having occurred in the game based on the operation information; combining the game video, the operation information, and the event information to generate a final video; and presenting the final video via the display device and the audio output device.

  • Publication number: 20240075384
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stores instructions for an information processing device that includes a processor, a display device, and an audio output device. The instructions cause the processor to execute: acquiring a game video from a distribution server; identifying a game based on the game video; acquiring reference information for a viewer of the game video from a management system that stores various types of reference information such that a different type of the reference information is acquired depending on the game identified based on the game video; combining the game video and the reference information to generate a final video; and presenting the final video via the display device and the audio output device.

  • Patent number: 6657630
    Abstract: The invention comprises establishing means for establishing the state of impact between a vehicle and a road surface specified by polygons in a virtual space, and generating means for generating image data representing a state where a vehicle moves along the road surface whilst maintaining the aforementioned state of impact. The establishing means comprises means for determining impact establishing data at an impact position of the vehicle by interpolation from vertex for the road surface polygons, correcting means for correcting this interpolated impact establishing data in accordance with indentations in the road surface, and specifying means for specifying the impact of the vehicle on the road surface in accordance with the corrected impact establishing data.
