Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine, upon detection of an impact applied to an object, whether the impact has caused damage to the object, and when it is determined that damage has been caused, identify a cause of the damage, based on a result of observation of a surrounding environment of the object at a time that the impact was applied.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus monitors a plurality of persons on a premises by one or more image sensors installed on the premises. The information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine a tendency of behavior of at least one person of the plurality of persons according to a length of a blank time, the blank time being a time during which the at least one person does not appear in an image captured by the one or more image sensors.

Abstract: A server apparatus includes a communication interface and a controller configured to transmit and receive information via the communication interface, wherein the controller is configured to transmit an instruction for controlling light emission by a plurality of floor coverings, each floor covering including a light emitting element, to the plurality of floor coverings based on positional information for a first point where a pedestrian is located in an area where the plurality of floor coverings are disposed and positional information for a second point different from the first point in the area.

Abstract: An information processing device includes an interface configured to acquire position information of a vehicle which picks up a user and a user surrounding image which is obtained by imaging surroundings of the user using a terminal device carried by the user and a control unit configured to generate user surrounding data including data on an object present near the user based on the user surrounding image. The control unit is configured to generate an image based on the assumption that the user is seen from the vehicle as a virtual user image based on the position information of the vehicle and the user surrounding data and to output the virtual user image to the vehicle.

Abstract: A server includes: an interface that acquires a vehicle-mounted camera image from a vehicle traveling toward a target specified by a user; and a control unit that detects the target based on the vehicle-mounted camera image, generates recognition information that makes the target recognizable as an image or visually recognizable based on a detection result of the target, and outputs the recognition information to the vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing device that is able to communicate with a user terminal and an imaging device includes: a control unit; and a communication unit. The control unit executes reception of position information from the user terminal via the communication unit, selection of the imaging device around the user terminal from the position information, transmission of an image capturing instruction to the selected imaging device via the communication unit, reception of one or more captured images from the imaging device via the communication unit, recognition of a user of the user terminal from the one or more captured images, and transmission of the captured image in which the user is recognized to a vehicle to be dispatched to the user via the communication unit.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire route information indicating a route on which a user is to travel, and travel information indicating a travel status of the user, detect, based on the acquired route information and the acquired travel information, a waiting point on the route, at which a waiting time period for the user is to occur, and output deceleration information for prompting the user to decelerate to delay, within a range of the waiting time period, arrival of the user at the detected waiting point.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine, upon detection of an impact applied to an object, whether the impact has caused damage to the object, and when it is determined that damage has been caused, identify a cause of the damage, based on a result of observation of a surrounding environment of the object at a time that the impact was applied.

Abstract: A composite of sheet metal parts on or for a vehicle comprises a first sheet metal part forming a first outer shell region and comprising a first joining region which projects from the first outer shell region via a bent transition towards an inner side of the composite. The composite further comprises a second sheet metal part forming a second outer shell region and comprising a second joining region which projects from the second outer shell region towards the inner side of the composite, the second joining region facing the first joining region. The composite also comprises a welding or soldering seam along which the sheet metal parts are connected, wherein the seam runs along or alongside a flange edge formed in the first joining region at a distance from the first outer shell region, a flange deviating from the first joining region along the flange edge.

Abstract: A vehicle body forward portion structure is provided that can ensure necessary strength and reduce the weight of a front pillar portion. In vehicle body forward portion structure, front pillar lower is formed in an overall open cross section shape that opens inward in a vehicle width direction as seen in plan sectional view as a result of front pillar outer portion being joined to pillar reinforcement lower formed from high-tensile steel plate.
