  • Publication number: 20230394969
    Abstract: A control method is of an information processing device used for a parking lot management system. The control method causes a computer of the information processing device to perform: acquiring surrounding environment information of a parking location from the parking lot management system; determining a candidate parking location of a vehicle, based on the surrounding environment information; generating display information representing the candidate parking location to which the surrounding environment information is added; and causing a display unit of the information processing device to output the display information.

  • Publication number: 20190361436
    Abstract: A vehicle of a remote monitoring system includes an imaging circuit for shooting a surrounding in at least a traveling direction, and a wireless communication circuit for transmitting an image shot by the imaging circuit. A remote monitoring device includes a communication circuit, and an output circuit. When a communication delay from the vehicle to the remote monitoring device via the network is first delay time, the output circuit cuts out a first range from a first frame of the first image and outputs the first range as the second image. When the communication delay from the vehicle to the remote monitoring device via the network is second delay time longer than the first delay time, the output circuit cuts out a second range narrower than the first range from a second frame of the first image and outputs the second range as the second image.

  • Patent number: 9330249
    Abstract: In an information terminal including a touch panel defining a plurality of touch points for security data entry by selecting and designating the touch points forming a prescribed graphic security pattern, the first touch point is confirmed only when a pointing member has continued to remain within a prescribed region surrounding the touch point for more than a first prescribed time period while the remaining touch points can be confirmed on a less rigorous condition so that the first touch point can be confirmed only when the user intentionally designates the first touch point, and an inadvertent confirmation of an unintended touch point as the first touch point can be effectively avoided.

  • Publication number: 20100091993
    Abstract: Provided are a wireless communication device capable of decoding received data even when receiving the data while the mismatching of an encryption key occurs due to updating of the encryption key; and an encryption updating method for the device. The wireless communication device comprises an encryption unit for encrypting transmission data with an encryption key, a decoding unit for decoding received data with the encryption key, a key replacing unit for generating a new encryption key to update an encryption key to be used in the encryption unit and the decoding unit to the new encryption key, and a key storing unit for storing the encryption key before being updated. The decoding unit decodes a received data with use of the old encryption key stored in the key storing unit when the received data cannot be decoded with use of the newly updated encryption key.

  • Publication number: 20060135124
    Abstract: Respective location information of wireless terminal apparatuses 30-1 to 30-4 and service area information of each of wireless LAN networks 2-1 to 2-n is managed, and authentication information is notified to authentication apparatus 20 of a wireless LAN network before each wireless terminal apparatus moves to the wireless LAN network around the current location of the wireless terminal apparatus. The authentication time is thus shortened in migration inside the same wireless LAN network or between different wireless LAN networks of the wireless terminal apparatus, thereby reducing the interval required for handover, and as a result, quality deterioration does not occur such as packet loss due to the handover.
