  • Patent number: 11124046
    Abstract: A vehicle monitoring apparatus (300) transmits transmission data obtained from each appliance (200) and the amount of transmission data to a data processing apparatus (500). First, the data processing apparatus calculates the amount of used resources that is the amount of resources used in processing the transmission data, in the amount of resources of computer resources, on the basis of the amount of transmission data. Next, the data processing apparatus increases or decreases, to the amount of used resources, the amount of secured resources that is the amount of resources secured in the amount of resources of the computer resources. Then, the data processing apparatus processes the transmission data by using the amount of secured resources in the amount of resources of the computer resources.

  • Publication number: 20210182278
    Abstract: An information integration unit (110) generates integrated data (500) based on individual device data (300) and composite device data (400). The individual device data includes, for each individual device, an individual device identifier (311) and an other-device identifier (314) of each of one or more other devices. The composite device data includes, for each set of a composite device, a composite device identifier (421), time period information (424, 425), and an individual device identifier (423) of each of one or more individual devices. The integrated data includes link information (520) for each set of an individual device and one of one or more other devices, and includes link information (530) for each set of a composite device and an individual device. The link information (530) associating the composite device and the individual device with each other includes time period information (522) indicating a time period in which the individual device has been used for the composite device.

  • Patent number: 10950066
    Abstract: An object is to enable wireless communication between a portable terminal and on-board devices, and enable wireless connection to a train composition to be subjected to maintenance even in the presence of a plurality of train compositions. A control transmission device is mounted on a train and includes: a port connectable by wire to a maintenance communication device that is an external terminal; a train composition number notification unit that provides notification of a train composition number of the train; and a wireless network ID reception unit that receives a wireless network ID for constructing a wireless network. The wireless network ID received by the wireless network ID reception unit is generated based on the train composition number provided by the train composition number notification unit.

  • Patent number: 10858018
    Abstract: A train information management device sends and receives information to and from both a train-controlling in-vehicle wireless station for controlling an operation of a train, and a door-controlling in-vehicle wireless station for controlling vehicle doors. The device includes a wireless train control unit, an automatic operation unit, and a door control unit. The wireless train control unit receives route information represented by a consecutive block sequence and information on a stop limit location that the train may reach without hindering a preceding train, and if this route information includes a station block number, consults an in-vehicle database to extract, before the train arrives at a platform, an arrival track where the train is to stop, a stop target location at a stop station dependent on a travel direction of the train, and which of the vehicle doors is to be opened, and stops the train in accordance with the route information.
