Patent number: 10839679Abstract: A map database stores map data. The map data includes position reference point data including identification information of a position reference point being set in an intersection area where traffic lanes intersect, join, or diverge and an absolute position of the position reference point. A communication system receives the identification information of the position reference point and a relative position of another vehicle to the absolute position of the position reference point. A vehicle position information processing unit acquires the absolute position of the position reference point from the position reference point data on the basis of the received identification information of the position reference point. Then, the vehicle position information processing unit specifies a position of the another vehicle on the basis of the acquired absolute position of the position reference point and the received relative position of the another vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshiaki Tsuda, Toshiki Kawase, Tsuneo Sato, Yukishiro Saito, Kuniaki Miyazaki

Patent number: 10645233Abstract: There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing an image having photographic composition intended by a user. A frame layout is displayed on a monitor. Based on an operation of an operation unit, images stored in an internal memory are displayed in frames, and images to be arranged in the frames are selected. In this case, portions of the images corresponding to the frames are cut out, and the images are displayed in the frames. Based on an operation of the operation unit, the images to be arranged in the frames are adjusted by zooming and/or moving the images to be arranged in the frames within the frames. After setting of images for all the frames is completed, an image displayed on the monitor is printed according to a print instruction.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Yoshikuni Nishiura, Shinichi Fujimoto, Tsuneo Sato
