Patent number: 10057756Abstract: A terminal detection method that includes a search step, a first acquisition step, a second acquisition step, and a detection step. The search step transmits a response request through broadcast communication and searches a terminal device that exists within a predetermined range. The first acquisition step acquires, from the terminal device, at least specific information of the terminal device. The second acquisition step executes communication with the terminal device based on the specific information acquired in the first acquisition step and acquires second information that indicates a function possessed by the terminal device. The detection step detects that the terminal device has a desired function based on the first information acquired in the first acquisition step and the second information acquired in the second acquisition step.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignees: FUJITSU TEN LIMITED, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., TOSHIBA INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JAPAN) CORPORATIONInventors: Masaki Ichikawa, Koichi Nagata, Shigeaki Esaka, Motoi Nagata, Hirotoshi Takahashi

Patent number: 8744503Abstract: A wireless communication device avoids unnecessary reduction of transmission capacity of a data signal to ensure the reliability of a pilot signal. A determination unit determines a reception modulation method for a received data signal according to the state of the transmission line.

Patent number: 7646222Abstract: A reference voltage generating circuit receives a power supply voltage and generates a reference voltage. A reference voltage level guarantee circuit generates a sense signal when the circuit senses that a value of the reference voltage has reached a predetermined value. A power supply voltage sensing circuit has a voltage comparator circuit which compares a voltage obtained by dividing a power supply voltage with the reference voltage and outputs a power ON reset signal. An operation of the voltage comparator circuit is controlled based on a sense signal. When the value of the power supply voltage increases and the value of the reference voltage reaches a predetermined value, the voltage comparator circuit operates, and a power ON reset signal is outputted in response to a result of comparison between a divisional voltage and the reference voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masaki Ichikawa, Kazushige Kanda
