  • Publication number: 20230394418
    Abstract: A delivery box stores a delivery item and can be moved to a delivery destination. A management server manages delivery of the delivery item using the delivery box. The delivery box includes a power supply, a temperature adjustment unit adjusting temperature of the delivery item with a power supplied from the power supply, and a transmission/reception unit transmitting/receiving information to/from the management server via a communication network. The management server includes a delivery possibility determination unit executing delivery possibility determination of determining whether temperature of the delivery item can be maintained at a predetermined temperature by the temperature adjustment unit until the delivery item is delivered to the delivery destination. The delivery possibility determination unit executes the delivery possibility determination based on at least the power supply information relating to power supplied from the power supply acquired from the delivery box.

  • Publication number: 20130243339
    Abstract: Picture data provision systems, methods, and programs provide picture data of an aerially-photographed ground surface to a picture using device. The systems, methods, and programs access determination target picture data that is the data of the aerially-photographed ground surface, and determine a recognition difficult portion within the determination target picture data. The recognition difficult portion is a portion of the determination target picture data where recognizing the ground surface is difficult. The systems, methods, and programs determine whether the determination target picture data is recognized as provision target picture data based on feature information and a determination result of the recognition difficult portion of the determination target picture data. The feature information is information regarding a feature included in determination corresponding map data and including position information of each feature.

  • Publication number: 20130238648
    Abstract: When a link ID corresponding to a coordinate point sequence is stored in a matching table, devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID, but when the link ID is not stored in the matching table, the devices, methods, and programs extract one or more candidate links as candidates for the link corresponding to the coordinate point sequence based on the map information. When one candidate link has been extracted, the devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID of that extracted candidate link, and when a plurality of candidate links have been extracted, the devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID of one of the extracted candidate links based on the coordinate difference patterns corresponding to the link IDs within an area in the vicinity of the extracted candidate links.

  • Patent number: 7484433
    Abstract: A shift lever apparatus for changing the change-speed ranges of a transmission of an automotive vehicle. The shift lever apparatus includes an indicator panel indicating positions which respectively correspond to the change-speed ranges. A slide member is provided to be movable in relation to a shift lever. A guide device is disposed to slidably guide the slide member and includes a descending guide section which allows the slide member to be guided to separate downward from the indicator panel. A mark piece is provided to indicate one of the positions of the indicator panel to represent the present change-speed range of the transmission. Additionally, a support member is fixedly connected to at least the major part of the slide member. The support member is free from following deformation of the slide member. The mark piece is fixedly connected to the support member.
