Patent number: 7840341Abstract: A system which automatically makes a travel plan by using on-vehicle or portable terminal. The system can prepare a travel plan in which the concrete destination and route are specified when rough positional and temporal conditions are inputted. The objective area and schedule inputted through the terminal are transmitted to an information center. At the information center, a basic frame of the travel meeting the received conditions is prepared. For a day trip, an example of the basic frame is “departure-walk-lunch-amusement park-night view-return”. After the basic frame is prepared, concrete facilities meeting the actions are specified by making access to a data base. The specified facilities are inputted to the basic frame, and thus a concrete plan is completed. The completed plan is supplied to the terminal and displayed on a display to the persons who want to travel. The completed plan is further supplied to a navigation system and the system guides the persons in accordance with the plan.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1995Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Sato, Masafumi Kizu, Makoto Morita, Masanobu Yamashita

Patent number: 6625257Abstract: A message processing device is adapted to obtain text data and read aloud the text data aloud by using a voice synthesizer. A loudspeaker device is connected to the message processing device to output or read aloud the text data. The text data can be received through a receiving device that receives outside information data or e-mail message data. The voice synthesizer can be controlled by an outside information controller, with the outside information controller being able to distinguish senders of the text data and being able to select one voice tone data to read aloud messages sent by one sender. If the controller recognizes that there are other messages sent by another sender, the controller allots different voice tone data for the other sender's messages. The message processing device can include a voice navigation device to generate voice signals for giving route guidance messages or information to a driver of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Taizo Asaoka, Hiroyuki Kanemitsu, Naoki Maeda, Masanobu Yamashita

Patent number: 6336038Abstract: An information terminal device and a cellular phone are interconnected by a connector in order to efficiently perform the locking of personal information separate for individual users. A number checking unit compares the phone number of the cellular phone with phone numbers stored in a memory of the information terminal device. In accordance with the phone number of the cellular phone, the information terminal device manages the access to the information stored in an external information storage and a location point list storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1998Date of Patent: January 1, 2002Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihiko Nojima, Masanobu Yamashita

Patent number: 5781119Abstract: A vehicle guiding system enables a plurality of vehicles to run in a platoon with minimum assistance from drivers, and is intended to enhance effective use of from auto-drive lane. When the vehicle runs in the platoon, a front running vehicle detects its displacement from a magnetic nail, and calculates a steering amount to be corrected (i.e. control variables). The front running vehicle not only controls its own movements on the basis of the control variable data but also transmits them to a following vehicle. The following vehicle does not detect its displacement from the magnetic nail, but controls its steering amount on the basis of the received control variable data. The first following vehicle transfers the control variable data to a further following vehicle. The further following vehicle simply receives the control variable data from the following vehicle, and does not calculate its own control variables.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1996Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanobu Yamashita, Akihide Tachibana, Keiji Aoki

Patent number: 4651687Abstract: An automatic compression releasing device intended for reducing the pressure inside the combustion chamber of the four cycle engine at the start by opening and closing the intake or exhaust valve of the combustion chamber actuated by the cam on the cam shaft through the tappet. A single moving piece mounted, on the side of the gear integrated with the cam shaft, as enclosing the cam shaft, can slide over the side of the gear in a given direction, guided by two slots opened in the moving piece and two pins planted on the gear side. A tappet lifting arm is extended from the moving piece to such a position as to push up the tappet. At the start, the centrifugal force on the moving piece is designed not to exceed the opposing force, thus keeping the tappet lifting arm projected out of the cam base circle, and also retaining the returning force of the moving piece acting on the tappet lifting arm through the tappet being supported by the guide slots and pins.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1985Date of Patent: March 24, 1987Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanobu Yamashita, Hiroshi Takada, Takemi Inoue, Suguru Yamauchi

Patent number: 4353847Abstract: A fuel supply system for a small engine including a constant level fuel chamber for receiving fuel from a fuel tank through a fuel drawing pipe to eject the fuel into a carburetor through a main nozzle after temporarily storing the fuel therein. A cover is provided to enclose the fuel drawing pipe and the constant level fuel chamber to separate the fuel drawing pipe and the constant level fuel chamber from a fuel storing section in the fuel tank, to enable fuel of a constant flow rate to be fed to the carburetor through the main nozzle irrespective of variations in the liquid level in the fuel storing section.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1981Date of Patent: October 12, 1982Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Sato, Masanobu Yamashita
