  • Patent number: 7813852
    Abstract: In a navigation system integrated with a diagnostic device, an arithmetic and control unit for diagnostic communication makes an inquiry to electronic control units, such as an engine control unit, a transmission control unit and a brake control unit connected a CAN, about data which is used for the diagnosis of trouble causes based on setting information stored in a memory through diagnostic communication. An arithmetic and control unit for navigation system receives messages responding to the inquiry to sift through the data to be collected based on the setting information in the memory and stores the collected information in a hard disk drive device. The setting information is updated by making an inquiry to an external center via a mobile communication network.

  • Patent number: 7010583
    Abstract: A transport system composed of road side stations installed along roads and vehicles running on roads, wherein emergency processing at the time of an accident, a local information providing service, and so on are realized by the road side stations in cooperation of the road side stations and the respective vehicles. In the transport system, a plurality of road side stations are interconnected through a road side communication network, and a plurality of vehicles communicate with the road side stations. A vehicle transmits a request message containing a service code and location information. A road side station receiving the request message broadcasts the request message to the network. The road side stations receive the message, and determine whether or not requested processing should be executed based on the service code and the location information. When determining that the processing should be executed, the road side station executes processing indicated by the service code.
