Patent number: 10146227Abstract: An in-vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes an automatic garage leaving control unit that performs automatic garage leaving cooperation control in which the automatic garage leaving control unit cooperates with a shutter control apparatus to cause a vehicle to automatically leave the garage. The automatic garage leaving control unit acquires vehicle surrounding information on presence or absence of abnormality around the vehicle when the automatic garage leaving control unit accepts an automatic garage leaving request signal, transmits an open request signal requesting to open a shutter to the shutter control apparatus when the automatic garage leaving control unit determines based on the vehicle surrounding information that a space around the vehicle is safe, and suspends the automatic garage leaving cooperation control when the automatic garage leaving control unit determines that abnormality is present around the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: FUJITSU TEN LimitedInventors: Shinichi Tanaka, Kohichi Tomiyama, Fumiaki Bando, Yusuke Iguchi, Shuhei Shibata, Hironori Ichioka, Kenta Nose

Patent number: 10026000Abstract: A visual line detection device according to an embodiment includes a detection unit, an acquisition unit, a determination unit, a calculation unit, and a calibration unit. The detection unit detects a visual line direction of a driver in a vehicle. The acquisition unit acquires a running state of the vehicle. The determination unit determines whether or not the running state acquired by the acquisition unit is a gazing state where the driver is gazing at a particular position. The calculation unit calculates a representative value for a detection result of the detection unit in a case where the determination unit determines that the running state is the gazing state. The calibration unit executes calibration for detection of the visual line direction by the detection unit in such a manner that the representative value calculated by the calculation unit is a reference thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: FUJITSU TEN LIMITEDInventors: Akira Sugie, Shuhei Shibata

Patent number: 9810463Abstract: An integrated air conditioning system includes an indirect outdoor air cooler having a first heat exchanger for passing through indoor air as warm air, a second heat exchanger for passing through outdoor air, and piping and a pump for circulating a fluid through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger; an air conditioner having an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser, for passing the indoor air to convert to cold air; a fan for passing the outdoor air through the second heat exchanger and the condenser; and a control device. The control device sets any mode from among a first mode for performing an individual operation of the indirect outdoor air cooler, a second mode for performing an individual operation of the air conditioner, or a third mode for performing a combined operation of the air conditioner and the indirect outdoor air cooler, to a current operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenya Murakami, Masaki Takahashi, Taiji Mori, Shunsuke Ohga, Shuhei Shibata, Yuichiro Minegishi
