  • Publication number: 20190012988
    Abstract: A vehicle information display control device includes: an automatic driving information obtaining unit that obtains automatic driving information including information indicating whether each of actuators of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and a display controller that causes a display to display an image based on the automatic driving information. The display controller simultaneously displays a first image and a second image representing the manual control mode and the automatic control mode, respectively, of each of the actuators, and displays (i) the first image of an actuator in the manual control mode closer than the second image of the actuator in the manual control mode and (ii) the second image of an actuator in the automatic control mode closer than the first image of the actuator in the automatic control mode.

  • Publication number: 20180244286
    Abstract: An object is to provide a technique which enables a driver to intuitively select and determine a target object to which a vehicle is to travel. A driving assistance apparatus includes a candidate selection unit which selects a target object candidate when the candidate selection unit determines that a visual line position of a driver is included in any setting range of a plurality of target object candidates and a target object determination unit which determines the target object candidate selected by the candidate selection unit as a target object when a determination button which can be operated by the driver is operated after the candidate selection unit selects the target object candidate.

  • Publication number: 20180215396
    Abstract: A vehicle information display control device includes: an automatic driving information obtaining unit obtaining automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and a display controller causing a display to display an image based on the automatic driving information. The display controller causes the display to display: an image of a manual driving device corresponding to the actuator; a manual-operation recalling image that is superimposed on the image of the manual driving device corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode and that recalls an operation performed by a person; and an automatic-operation recalling image that is superimposed on the image of the manual driving device corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode and that recalls an operation performed by a machine.

  • Patent number: 8612141
    Abstract: A navigation system capable of enabling a user to use navigation functions such as route guidance without setting a destination. It includes an information recording unit for storing a driving history, a destination estimating unit for estimating a destination from the driving history stored in the information recording unit, a route computing unit for calculating a route to the destination estimated by the destination estimating unit, and an information display unit for causing the route calculated by the route computing unit to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20120173245
    Abstract: A navigation system is provided which facilitates discrimination between an icon of a facility associated with a route, along which the user is expected to move from now on, and an ordinary icon. To achieve this, it includes a destination estimating unit for acquiring information about a driving history and for estimating a destination from the information about the driving history acquired; a drawing decision changing unit for drawing a destination candidate estimated by the destination estimating unit in a form different from an icon of a non-destination candidate; and an information display unit for causing the icon drawn by the drawing decision changing unit to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 4747952
    Abstract: Separation apparatus capable of separating plasma into high molecular weight substances and low molecular weight substances containing albumin, regardless of whether plasma is obtained by separation of corpuscular components in a continuous centrifugal separator or in a batch-type centrifugal separator. The apparatus comprises a filtration membrane module, a plasma feeding circuit connecting the centrifugal separator with the filtration membrane module, a plasma return circuit for returning to a patient purified plasma freed of high molecular weight substances, a supplemental fluid circuit for supplying additional fluid to the plasma return circuit, and a condensed plasma discharge circuit for disposal of high molecular weight substances. The apparatus is controlled independently of the centrifugal separator.
