  • Publication number: 20240119764
    Abstract: An information processing device calculates a feature related to driving of a driver. The information processing device includes a processor that calculates the feature, and a transmission unit that transmits the calculated feature to an outside. The processor identifies whether there is a predetermined situation in which a risk occurs when turning right or left in a small radius, and calculates, when the predetermined situation is identified, information on a driving behavior for reducing the risk that is identified from information related to at least one of a steering wheel operation, an accelerator operation, and a brake operation of the driver, as the feature.

  • Publication number: 20240077297
    Abstract: An eddy current sensor assembly includes an eddy current sensor and an output signal processing circuit that processes an output signal from the eddy current sensor. The output signal processing circuit includes a mixer circuit that accepts the output signal and a signal of the predetermined frequency as input, multiplies the two signals received as input, and outputs an output signal obtained by the multiplication, and a low-pass filter that accepts the output signal output by the mixer circuit as input, cuts a high-frequency signal included in the output signal received as input, and outputs at least a direct-current (DC) signal.
