  • Patent number: 11348347
    Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a camera, a passenger detector, a goods detector, an association unit, and an in-vehicle controller. The camera images the inside of a vehicle. The passenger detector detects the passenger inside the vehicle based on an image captured by the camera. The goods detector detects the goods inside the vehicle based on the image captured by the camera. The association unit generates association information. The association information is obtained by associating specific goods detected by the goods detector with a specific passenger detected by the passenger detector based on the goods detected by the goods detector and the passenger detected by the passenger detector. The in-vehicle controller performs predetermined control based on the association information generated by the association unit.

  • Patent number: 11198448
    Abstract: A passenger support system includes a speaker, cameras, a vibrator, a seat switch, and a control device. The control device issues destination approach information by the speaker before the vehicle arrives at the destination based on results from comparing the current location information of the vehicle with the destination information of passenger. After issuing the destination approach information, the control device identifies the seat position based on the images captured by the cameras and performs awakening action by the vibrator at the seat corresponding to the specified seat position. The control device stops the awakening action by the vibrator when a stop operation is received from the seat switch.
