  • Publication number: 20200077292
    Abstract: A data collection apparatus includes a receiver, an instruction data transmitter, a collector, and a provider. The receiver receives a user data collection request. The instruction data transmitter transmits a collection request based on the user data collection request to an on-vehicle device. The collector collects tag information of vehicle state data acquired by the on-vehicle device. The provider provides selection tag information for selecting data by a user based on the tag information collected by the collector. The instruction data transmitter transmits a transmission instruction based on a user data transmission to the on-vehicle device. The collector collects the vehicle state data corresponding to the transmission instruction transmitted from the on-vehicle device. The provider provides user vehicle state data for using data by the user based on the vehicle state data collected by the collector.

  • Publication number: 20190285427
    Abstract: A communication device according to an embodiment includes a calculation unit, a prediction unit, and a creation unit. The calculation unit calculates a probability that a terminal device actually moves on each movement route that is predicted based on a movement history of the terminal device. The prediction unit predicts a communication quality on the movement route with the probability that is calculated by the calculation unit. The creation unit creates a communication schedule of data communication for the terminal device based on the probability on each movement route that is calculated by the calculation unit and the communication quality that is predicted by the prediction unit.

  • Publication number: 20190289474
    Abstract: A communication device according to an embodiment includes a prediction unit and a creation unit. The prediction unit predicts a transition of a communication quality in each communication area. The creation unit creates a communication schedule of data communication for a terminal device based on the transition of a communication quality in each communication area that is predicted by the prediction unit and a state of the terminal device that is predicted from schedule information that relates to a schedule of the terminal device.

  • Patent number: 10083546
    Abstract: An augmented reality information displaying device according to the embodiment includes a storage, a display-position deciding unit, and a display controller. The storage stores augmented reality information associated with a real position. The display-position deciding unit decides a display position of the augmented reality information on a display screen of a transmission-type display device based on a real position of a user that visually recognizes the display screen, a real position of the display screen, the real position in the scene through the display screen associated with the augmented reality information. The display controller controls to display, at a display position decided by the display-position deciding unit, the augmented reality information corresponding to a mode according to positional relationship between the real position of the user and the real position associated with the augmented reality information in the scene.
