  • Publication number: 20240320984
    Abstract: A monitoring system according to the present disclosure includes: an image acquiring section; a determining section; an area setting section; and a detecting section. The image acquiring section acquires images obtained by photographing left and right rear sides of a towing vehicle, respectively. The determining section determines whether a towed vehicle towed by the towing vehicle is present in the images. When the determining section determines that the towed vehicle is present in the image, the area setting section sets a dangerous area having a curved shape on one lateral side of the left lateral side and the right lateral side of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle, the one lateral side being a side where the image in which the towed vehicle is determined to be present is photographed. The detecting section detects a collision hazardous object present in the dangerous area.

  • Patent number: 7047314
    Abstract: A plurality of private address spaces where private addresses may possibly overlap are connected with a global address space. Respective private address spaces possess VLAN-IDs as identification information for VLANs. When connecting the respective private address spaces with the Internet, a duplicate network address translating device performs, with VLAN-ID and the private address of the respective private address spaces in pairs, mutual translation between the private address and global address of the Internet. A duplicate addresses-handling server is provided with a routing table which shows the relationship between virtual interfaces corresponding to VLAN-IDs and addresses of the respective private address spaces.
