  • Patent number: 11958494
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires pieces of information including information related to a vehicle, information related to the environment inside and outside the vehicle, and information related to a driver on board the vehicle. A determination unit determines priorities of the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of a service or the like used by the driver among services or the likes provided using information accumulated in a server device.

  • Patent number: 10993158
    Abstract: In order to prevent occurrence of the significantly frequent transmission of messages, a user terminal is configured such that, when a reception power of a target cell is equal to or greater than a first threshold value ThLOW, the user terminal starts preparation for a handover to the target cell, and when the reception power is equal to or greater than a second threshold value ThHIGH, the user terminal performs the handover to the target cell, and that, until a waiting time has elapsed after performing the handover, the user terminal, by using a timer, performs a timing control for maintaining an immediate handover state in which the user terminal can immediately perform a handover, and, when the waiting time has elapsed, the user terminal ends the immediate handover state.
