Publication number: 20250097493Abstract: Provided are a delay time measurement server, a delay time measurement method, and a program for calculating a video display delay time without arranging a special device on the client side. The delay time measurement server calculates a video transmission delay time from when a video signal obtained by encoding a specific video is transmitted toward a monitor until when a reaction signal for the specific video is received, as a video display delay time from when the video signal is transmitted toward the monitor until when the video is displayed on the monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Hiroya ONO, Tatsuya FUKUI, Toshihito FUJIWARA, Ryota SHIINA

Patent number: 9325192Abstract: A battery charging management system for an automated guided vehicle that travels in an unpiloted manner by using a battery as a driving power source and performs a charging operation for the battery using a battery charger provided in a charging station, comprises a charge/discharge monitoring part that monitors a charge/discharge amount of the battery, a charging needlessness threshold voltage setting part that sets a charging needlessness threshold voltage for the battery, and a charging control part that performs the charging operation for the battery using the battery charger when it is determined that a voltage of the battery of the automated guided vehicle arriving at the charging station is lower than the charging needlessness threshold voltage set by the charging needlessness threshold voltage setting part. The charging needlessness threshold voltage setting part is configured to lower the charging needlessness threshold voltage during a particularly set time period.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshihito Fukui, Mitsuru Hirayama
