  • Patent number: 9478072
    Abstract: A controller in a form of an engine controller controls an aftertreatment device for a residual substance in exhaust gas. The engine controller includes a regeneration occurrence-condition output unit that outputs regeneration occurrence-condition data indicating occurrence of a regeneration treatment of the aftertreatment device, and a regeneration division detector that detects division of the regeneration treatment by a key-off operation conducted during execution of the regeneration treatment. The regeneration occurrence-condition output unit outputs regeneration occurrence-condition data that is analyzable to show that a regeneration treatment before the division detected by the regeneration division detector and a regeneration treatment after the division are a series of regeneration treatments.

  • Publication number: 20150121274
    Abstract: A vehicle-use display apparatus wherein operation time required therefor can be shortened and driver distraction can be prevented. A tier (an upper-level layer, a middle-level layer, or a lower-level layer, for example) is selected on the vehicle-use display apparatus by contact made to a contact part. Further, by making a gesture in which contact with the contact part is kept while moving the contact position, it is possible to shift through a plurality of menu options included in the selected tier and make a tentative selection. Then, when the passenger has stopped contacting the contact part, selection of the menu option that was tentatively selected at that time is finalized and an onboard device function or process corresponding to the finalized selected menu option is executed.
