Abstract: The control device includes: a detection unit that detects a predetermined speech/motion of a user who is present in an output destination space of a directional speaker; an identification unit that identifies, in accordance with the predetermined speech/motion, an audio source of interest among audio sources and a directional speaker as an object to be controlled; and an output control unit that causes the identified directional speakers to output audio supplied from the identified audio source.

Abstract: Provided is an operation management system capable of timely giving a driver an opportunity to take a rest. One aspect of the present disclosure is an operation management system including a sensor acquiring biological information of a driver of each of management-target vehicles, and a server managing traveling plans, each including a destination and an arrival time, of the management-target vehicles. The server includes a processor performing an adjustment process for the traveling plans. In the adjustment process, the processor proposes, to a driver of an adjustment-target vehicle, a rest point extracted from rest facilities located on a traveling route in a traveling plan, based on the traveling plan of the adjustment-target vehicle, on the traveling plans of the management-target vehicles other than the adjustment-target vehicle, on biological information of the driver of the adjustment-target vehicle acquired by the sensor, and on crowdedness information of the rest facilities.

Abstract: A vehicle dispatch device includes: a demand information obtaining section configured to obtain a demand spot at which demand for vehicle dispatch is expected and demand time at which the demand is expected; a biological condition obtaining section configured to obtain, for each of drivers, a change over time of a biological condition from the present to the demand time; and a vehicle dispatch supporting section configured to determine, for each of the drivers, a required rest time necessary for taking a rest in order to make a level of the biological condition less than a predetermined threshold value at the demand time in the change over time, and to identify, from among the drivers, one or more drivers who are capable of finishing both of traveling to the demand spot and taking the rest by the demand time.

Abstract: A mobile terminal communication system for a vehicle that enables pairing between a mobile terminal and a seat while inhibiting an increase in equipment installed in the seat is provided. In one aspect of the disclosure, the system includes seats that each configured to output first information in relation to a motion of an occupant; and a processor that communicates with the seats and a mobile terminal possessed by a person in the vehicle. The processor includes a comparison processing device that estimates a control-target seat, on which the person is seated, among the seats by comparing the first information outputted by each seat with second information in relation to the motion of the person outputted by the mobile terminal; and a pairing processing device that pairs the estimated control-target seat with the mobile terminal and to transmit an output of the paired mobile terminal to the control-target seat.
