  • Patent number: 11897484
    Abstract: A vehicle occupant assistance apparatus predicts acceleration occurring when a vehicle is traveling. When a make-up mode is activated, assistance information is notified before a predetermined value of the acceleration occurs, based on predicted values of the acceleration. Thus, since the assistance information is notified to an occupant before the vehicle shakes due to the predetermined value of the acceleration, assistance taking a shake of the vehicle into consideration can be rendered to the occupant who applies make-up when the vehicle is traveling.

  • Patent number: 11679785
    Abstract: In a vehicle in which a driving state is switchable between autonomous driving and manual driving, it is determined whether an occupant is applying makeup. When it is determined that the occupant is applying makeup at a time of switching of the driving state from autonomous driving to manual driving, a process of closing a lid of a mirror provided on a sun visor of the vehicle is performed as a makeup ending process of ending makeup by the occupant.

  • Publication number: 20220118820
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle air conditioning controller including a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor determines whether or not an occupant in a cabin of a vehicle is applying makeup to herself/himself and, in a case in which it has been determined that the occupant is applying makeup, changes at least one of an air direction or an air volume of conditioned air that is generated by an air conditioning system installed at the vehicle and is supplied to the occupant from an air outlet provided in the cabin.

  • Patent number: 9418102
    Abstract: A pair search word, which is obtained by forming a pair of a preceding search word and a subsequent search word in the search times, is generated in accordance with an order of the search times, from search words in which intervals between the search times associated with the identical user specifying information are within a predetermined time, with reference to a search word memory means which stores the search words. A first appearance count of a pair search word among generated pair search words is calculated, a second appearance count of a reverse order pair search word obtained by reversing an order of a search time of the specific pair search word is calculated, and, when a magnitude relationship between the first appearance count and the second appearance account satisfies predetermined conditions, the preceding search word and the subsequent search word are stored as a thesaurus.

  • Publication number: 20130173619
    Abstract: In association with user specifying information for specifying a user who uses search words and search time specifying information for specifying search times at which search processing is executed using the search words, a pair search word which is obtained by forming a pair of a preceding search word and a subsequent search word in the search times is generated in accordance with an order of the search times, from search words in which intervals between the search times associated with the identical user specifying information are within a predetermined time, with reference to a search word memory means (12a) which stores the search words (S4).
