  • Publication number: 20170363736
    Abstract: A radar device according to the embodiments includes a deriving unit and a determining unit. The deriving unit derives, based on a received signal acquired by receiving a reflected wave obtained by reflecting a radar transmission wave transmitted to a periphery of an own vehicle on a target located on the periphery, a parameter related to the target and a detection distance of the target. The determining unit determines, from a given characteristic of the parameter and the parameter and the detection distance derived by the deriving unit, whether the target existing in a traveling direction of the own vehicle is a target that collides with the own vehicle when the own vehicle advances in the traveling direction or a target that does not collide with the own vehicle when the own vehicle advances in the traveling direction.

  • Patent number: 9383440
    Abstract: There is provided a radar apparatus. An extracting unit extracts a peak signal obtained from a difference frequency between a transmitting signal and a receiving signal during a first period in which the frequency of the transmitting signal ascends and a second period in which the frequency descends. A pairing unit pairs the peak signals of the first and second periods based on a predetermined condition. A deriving unit derives target information including a position of a target based on paired data obtained by pairing the peak signals. The pairing unit selects normal-paired data which is paired in a correct combination, from among the plurality of paired data, based on a plurality of parameter values of the peak signals of the first and second periods which are to be paired, and a discrimination function for discriminating true or false of the pairing.

  • Patent number: 9270675
    Abstract: Access restriction is performed on access to a page on which information is posted from a terminal of a subject. It is determined whether positions of terminals used by the subject and a manager, who is associated with the subject in advance, accord with each other. A relaxation operation is received from the terminal of the manager, when it is determined that the positions accord with each other. The access restriction by a restriction unit is relaxed, when the relaxation operation is received. A characteristic word of the page accessed by the terminal of the subject for which the access restriction is relaxed is acquired. The acquired characteristic word is transmitted to the terminal of the manager to display the characteristic word. A recovery operation is received from the terminal of the manager. The access restriction performed by the restriction unit is recovered, when the recovery operation is received.
