Patent number: 9282485Abstract: A first communication unit receives packet signals broadcast from a base station apparatus and also receives packet signals broadcast from other terminal apparatuses according to a first communication scheme. A second communication unit communicates with a mobile apparatus according to a second communication scheme that differs from the first communication scheme. A receiving unit receives a filtering condition from the mobile apparatus by way of the second communication unit. A filtering unit selects a packet signal, which matches the filtering condition, from among the packet signals received by the first communication unit. A transfer unit transfers information, contained in the selected packet signal selected, from the second communication unit to the mobile apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Takao Mizuguchi, Miwa Yoneda, Hiroshi Takemura

Patent number: 8890714Abstract: An RF unit and a modem unit receive packet signals. A processing unit processes the received packet signals. A measurement unit measures the received power of the packet signals received. A monitoring unit monitors the variation in the received power of the packet signals measured by the measurement unit. When the received power increases in such a manner that the variation monitored by the monitoring unit is larger than a threshold value, a notification unit starts to convey information reflecting the content of the packet signals processed by the processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takao Mizuguchi

Patent number: 8811204Abstract: It is specified in a manner such that a frame containing a first period formed by a plurality of slots and a second period having a predetermined length is repeated. A detecting unit detects a slot, which is usable for the communications between a plurality of other terminal apparatuses, from among a plurality of slots in the first period of a frame containing the first period and the second period. A modem unit and an RF unit broadcast information on the detected slot.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co,. Ltd.Inventors: Keisuke Higuchi, Ken Nakaoka, Takao Mizuguchi

Patent number: 8548729Abstract: A positional information acquiring unit acquires positional information of a vehicle. An intersection predicting unit predicts an intersection, which the vehicle will enter, by associating the positional information with map information. An entrance predicting unit acquires the positional information of another vehicle included in a packet signal from a transmitting apparatus mounted on the other vehicle and associates the positional information of the other vehicle with the map information, thereby predicting whether the other vehicle enters the intersection predicted by the intersection predicting unit. When entrance of the other vehicle is predicted, an effect predicting unit predicts whether travel of the other vehicle has an effect on this vehicle based on traveling direction information of the other vehicle acquired from the packet signal. The notifying unit notifies presence of the other vehicle when presence of the effect is predicted.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takao Mizuguchi
