Patent number: 8854210Abstract: An eco drive support apparatus which reports the eco degree of the driving operation of a vehicle by displaying a state relative to a judgment threshold which varies corresponding to the drive state of the vehicle. The apparatus has a power train ECU which computes the judgment threshold and an eco drive state amount expressing a ratio to the judgment threshold on the basis of the drive state of the vehicle and a meter ECU which indicates the eco drive state amount on the basis of information transmitted from the power train ECU. The power train ECU transmits the eco drive state amount to the meter ECU.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignees: Fujitsu Ten Limited, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomohiro Matsuo, Masato Ishio, Kohichi Tomiyama, Masatoshi Watanabe, Kan Saito

Patent number: 8249767Abstract: An eco-drive assist apparatus displays a quantity of eco-drive that indicates a degree of ecology and/or economy in driving in a hybrid vehicle equipped with an engine and a motor. The apparatus includes a first part configured to calculate the quantity of eco-drive on the basis of a vehicle power generated in the vehicle, and a second part configured to cause the quantity of eco-drive to be displayed in a graphic manner as a relative quantity to an eco-drive judgment threshold value that indicates whether the vehicle is in an eco-drive state and as a relative quantity to an engine startup threshold value that indicates whether the engine has been started up and configured to cause the quantity of eco-drive to be displayed on a boundary of the engine startup threshold value or displayed at a position where the quantity of eco-drive is worse than the engine startup threshold value when the engine has been started up.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Masatoshi Watanabe, Masato Ishio, Kohichi Tomiyama, Tomohiro Matsuo, Kan Saito

Publication number: 20120113773Abstract: A CAN driver receives vehicle information sent onto CAN. A diagnosis information acquiring module monitors whether an operation of a diagnosis record ECU itself is normal or not and thus generates diagnosis information. A timestamp information generating module generates timestamp information A per sec and generates timestamp information B in which a time difference from the generation timing of the timestamp information A is expressed on the unit of 1/100 sec. A diagnosis record module, each time the timestamp information generating module generates the timestamp information A, transfers a first type record containing the timestamp information A and the diagnosis information generated at this point of time to a memory manager, and transfers a second type record containing the vehicle information and the timestamp information B generated at this point of time to the memory manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2011Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, FUJITSU TEN LIMITEDInventors: Tatsuyuki MATSUO, Masato ISHIO, Tomoyuki KATO, Atsushi YAMANAKA, Keiichi TANAKA, Tomoyasu ISHIKAWA, Naoki TOYOFUKU, Kenji FUKUCHI

Publication number: 20060172829Abstract: An oil pressure-learning method which enables an oil pressure control system that controls line pressure and belt clamping pressure by oil pressure actuators independently of each other, to accurately control both the line pressure and the belt clamping pressure. The oil pressure-learning method is applied to an oil pressure control system provided with a line pressure control solenoid for controlling a line pressure control valve, and a belt clamping pressure control solenoid for controlling a belt clamping pressure control valve. A belt clamping pressure command value that is outputted to the belt clamping pressure control solenoid as a control command value of belt clamping pressure, and a line pressure command value that is outputted to the line pressure control solenoid as a control command value of line pressure are learned in advance. This enables the oil pressure control system to control both the line pressure and the belt clamping pressure with accuracy.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventor: Masato Ishio
