Patent number: 11945442Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to suggest to a driver that a host vehicle overtake a preceding vehicle during autonomous driving, recognize whether the driver accepts a suggestion for the overtaking, when the electronic control unit recognizes that the driver accepts the suggestion, cause the host vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle, and, when the electronic control unit recognizes that the driver rejects the suggestion, not cause the host vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle, set a first prohibition duration, and, when the electronic control unit suggests to the driver that the host vehicle overtake the preceding vehicle and recognizes that the driver rejects the suggestion, extend the first prohibition duration as compared to when the electronic control unit suggests to the driver that the host vehicle overtake the preceding vehicle and recognizes that the driver accepts the suggestion.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoki Nishimura, Shingo Shibata

Patent number: 11251808Abstract: An input control unit collectively sends a plurality of pieces of variable length code data. A primary analysis processing unit processes a first piece of variable length code data, recognizes zero run information, group number information, and overhead bit information relating thereto, and outputs them to a frequency conversion unit. A continuous analysis processing unit processes one or more pieces of variable length code data subsequent to the first piece of variable length code data. In the case of variable length code data targeted for a predetermined process, the continuous analysis processing unit recognizes zero run information, group number information, and overhead bit information relating thereto, and output them to the frequency conversion unit. In the case of not the variable length code data targeted for the predetermined process, the continuous analysis processing unit discards this and subsequent pieces of data.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: SHIKINO HIGH-TECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Koichi Furutani, Shingo Shibata

Patent number: 8477023Abstract: An information presentation apparatus includes an action determination section to execute a determination as to whether a driver becomes aware of an attention-seeking display sign or an alarm display sign, and an information presentation control circuit to cause a display device to perform a display changeover to change a display mode of an attention-seeking display sign or alarm display sign into an attenuation display mode based on an affirmative result from the determination by the action determination section. Herein, the action determination section executes the above determination based on reference information such as driver action confirmation information or vehicle information, which is a signal generated by a switch manipulation or a driving operation of the driver when noticing the attention-seeking display sign or alarm display sign displayed in the display device.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Makiko Tauchi, Seiji Kawai, Akira Takahashi, Shingo Shibata, Sueharu Nagiri, Kazuhiko Suzuki
