  • Patent number: 6757593
    Abstract: A vehicle expression operation control system and vehicle communication system for performing an expression operation to generate an easily understood expression and a vehicle for performing an expression operation. Condition and other information about a vehicle is detected by an operation information collecting section (12) and detected data collection section (14), and supplied to a reaction formulating section (26). Based on current status information of the vehicle held in a state recognizing section (24), the reaction formulating section (26) formulates a reaction and controls performance of an expression operation corresponding to the formulated reaction. Further, based on the reaction formulated, an operation control section (28) controls operation of respective devices equipped to the vehicle, including lights, antennae, and the like, so that the vehicle performs such expression operation.
