Patent number: 10919450Abstract: An image display device includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a rearview and a sideview from a host vehicle, and a display unit configured to display, as a display image, a captured image captured by the image capturing unit or a generated image generated based on the captured image. The display unit includes a first area for displaying the display image that includes an area to the rearview of the host vehicle and a second area, being arranged adjacent to the first area, for displaying the display image that includes an area to the sideview of the host vehicle, and the displayed image displayed in the second area is image-processed in such a manner that an aspect ratio changes with respect to an aspect ratio of the display image displayed in the first area.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Junya Seki, Eisuke Konishi, Koichi Mizutani, Masayuki Murakoshi

Patent number: 10836311Abstract: An information-presenting device includes an imaging unit, a display unit, an object-recognition unit, an exit location indicator unit and an entry location indicator unit. The imaging unit captures an image of a side view from a host vehicle. The display unit displays an image captured by the imaging unit or a image generated based on the captured image. The object-recognition unit recognizes an object lateral to the host vehicle moving relative to the host vehicle. The exit location indicator unit displays an exit location indicator at or near a location where the object is last displayed in the display unit when the object departs from a display range of the display unit. The entry location indicator unit displays an entry location indicator in a window through which an occupant views outside of the vehicle or in a peripheral region of the window. The entry location indicator indicates a location where the object is predicted to appear.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Junya Seki, Eisuke Konishi, Koichi Mizutani, Masayuki Murakoshi

Patent number: 10824161Abstract: An automatic steering control apparatus includes a steering controller and a steering instruction unit. The steering controller includes a storage, an instruction value checking unit, and a steering control unit, and controls operation of a steering device of a vehicle. The steering instruction unit includes an instruction value calculator and an estimated instruction value calculator, and outputs an instruction value to the steering controller. The instruction value calculator calculates a latest course and calculates the instruction value. The estimated instruction value calculator calculates a future course and calculates an estimated instruction value. The storage stores the estimated instruction value acquired from the estimated instruction value calculator during a past predetermined period.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoari Aiba, Masayuki Murakoshi

Patent number: 10252704Abstract: A vehicle reverse assistant includes a rear side sensor, a towed object detector, and a stop determination threshold distance setter. The rear side sensor is provided at a rear portion of an own vehicle. The rear side sensor senses a rear side sensing region. The towed object detector detects whether a towed object is connected to the rear portion of the own vehicle. The stop determination threshold distance setter sets one end of a stop determination threshold distance at a position spaced apart at a constant distance from a rear end of the towed object on a basis of a sensing signal supplied from the rear side sensor when the towed object detector detects connection of the towed object.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Masayuki Murakoshi, Keiko Kabe, Kanto Itabashi
