  • Publication number: 20150339865
    Abstract: A vehicle information management server provided in a vehicle information center transmits to an information transmission/reception ECU provided in a vehicle both command information for acquiring required vehicle information, and wait time information indicating a timing at which the vehicle information is to be transmitted via an external communication network. The information transmission/reception ECU of the vehicle receives the transmitted command information and wait time information. The ECU waits until the wait time represented by the wait time information elapses or a designated time comes, and then acquires the vehicle information in accordance with an acquiring command represented by the command information. The ECU transmits the acquired vehicle information to the server at the timing designated as described above.

  • Patent number: 9122431
    Abstract: Depending on the environment of an operating system, it may be difficult to set print setting information desired by a user, resulting in a decrease in operability for the user. A printer driver activates software that operates in a desktop UI environment, by an additional process which is different from print processing when printing is performed. Accordingly, a print setting screen that can set the print setting information desired by the user is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20150207353
    Abstract: An electronic device is electrically connected to a secondary battery through a battery terminal, and is electrically connected to a charger through a charge connection section and a communication connection section. The electronic device includes a voltage range detection section, a switch section, a charge control section, and a device-side microcomputer. The charger includes a charger-side charge control section and a charger-side microcomputer. When certification data which is transmitted from the charger is prescribed data, the device-side microcomputer performs determination. When voltage range detection section determines that a charging voltage, which is applied to the charge connection section, is included in a prescribed range, the device-side microcomputer causes the switch section to be ON. The secondary battery is charged through the switch section or the charge control section or through both the sections.

  • Publication number: 20150163306
    Abstract: In a vehicle remote operation system, when acquiring remote operation request information from a user of a vehicle 100, a server 210 in a command administration center 200 transmits access request information, requesting an access to the center 200 as a predetermined connection destination, to a command acquisition ECU 110a mounted on the vehicle 100. When acquiring the access request information transmitted from the center 200, the ECU 110a accesses to the center 200 as the predetermined connection destination connected to a network 400. Thus, the command information server 212 in the center 200 provides command information, corresponding to a remote operation command corresponding to a remote operation requested by the user of the vehicle 100, to the ECU 110a via the network 400. The ECU 110a then supplies the command information to the corresponding vehicle ECU 110 for allowing the vehicle 100 to operate as requested by the user.

  • Patent number: 8970865
    Abstract: The printing control device of the present invention inquires whether or not an actual output printer driver supports the function of the items regarding drawing processing in step SC1503. If it is found as a result of inquiry in step SC1504 that the printer driver does not support the function, the printing control device processes print data in step SC1506. On the other hand, if the printer driver supports the function in step SC1504, the printing control device determines whether or not the print setting corresponding to the function is enabled in step SC1505. If the printing control device determines that the print setting is disabled, the process advances to step SC1506 and the printing control device processes print data.
