Takashi Kawauchi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9208625
    Abstract: If identification information is updated periodically, there is such a problem that when another vehicle is receiving driving support based on transmitted identification information of an own vehicle, if the identification information of the own vehicle is updated, the operation of driving support using the identification information becomes unstable because another vehicle can no longer identify the own vehicle. A mobile terminal mounted on a vehicle determines whether or not transmission control of identification information is necessary after determining the possibility of identification information misuse, determining the effect by controlling transmission of identification information, and determining the magnitude of adverse influence on the safe driving support service.

  • Publication number: 20140108787
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to solve a problem that time is required for a process related to verification of a public key certificate of a message sender. An in-vehicle device mounted on a vehicle has a memory for holding information of a device which failed in verification of a public key certificate. At the time of performing communication between vehicles or between a vehicle and a roadside device, a check is made to see whether or not information of a device included in a message transmitted matches information of a device which failed and held in the memory. When the information matches, verification of a public key certificate is not performed.

  • Patent number: 8543319
    Abstract: Communication equipment that received transfer data including data to be transferred, position information of a destination of the data to be transferred, position information of relay points used to determine a route to the destination, and position information of a last transferring vehicle determines a standby time that becomes shorter as a distance between the position of the last transferring vehicle and the position of a host vehicle becomes longer in the case where the host vehicle is not located in a predetermined range on the basis of the relay points. In addition, the communication equipment determines the standby time that becomes longer as a distance between the position of the host vehicle and the position of the relay point becomes longer in the case where the host vehicle is located in the predetermined range, and performs a process of transmitting the transfer data after the standby time passes.

  • Patent number: 8229668
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle communication system by which even when the number of other vehicles around a traffic line is increased, it is possible to prevent occurrence of a situation that there are located vehicles the number of which is larger than the capacity of a communicable network, and it is possible to secure communications with the other vehicles. Even when it is determined that a host vehicle enters in a traffic line and a plurality of other vehicles the number of which is larger than a threshold value are located in front and rear virtual regions of the host vehicle, a transmission power is reduced to the extent that communications between the host vehicle and one of the other vehicles that is located furthest in the virtual regions can be secured.

  • Publication number: 20110282566
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide communication equipment, an inter-vehicle communication control method, and an inter-vehicle communication system by which information can be efficiently transmitted to a designated range even at a blind intersection or on a curved road. Communication equipment that received transfer data including data to be transferred, position information of a destination of the data to be transferred, position information of relay points used to determine a route to the destination, and position information of the last transferring vehicle determines a standby time that becomes shorter as a distance between the position of the last transferring vehicle and the position of the host vehicle becomes longer in the case where the host vehicle is not located in a predetermined range on the basis of the relay points.
