  • Publication number: 20190392708
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190349757
    Abstract: A positioning terminal transmits terminal position information to a position authentication device. The position authentication device acquires a digitized positioning signal and a positioning augmentation signal as the same data as data used by the positioning terminal device to calculate a positioning position and a positioning time included in the terminal position information. The position authentication device calculates a corresponding position corresponding to the positioning position included in the terminal position information and a corresponding time corresponding to the positioning time included in the terminal position information, based on the acquired digitized positioning signal and positioning augmentation signal, and compares the corresponding position with the positioning position and compares the corresponding time with the positioning time.

  • Publication number: 20180218534
    Abstract: An outer shape of an outline of a structure which is a creation target of a drawing is acquired from map information, and distance images of a plurality of portions including annex information indicating an imaging position and an imaging direction captured by dividing the structure by a plurality of times from a Time Of Flight (TOF) camera are acquired. A connection processing unit connects the acquired distance images of the plurality of portions with each other, by using the annex information on the distance images, however, connects the distance images so that the distance images correspond to the outer shape of the structure, by using the outer shape of the structure at the time of the connection. A drawing creation unit automatically creates a drawing of the structure from the distance images (three-dimensional information on the entire structure) connected with each other.

  • Publication number: 20180176396
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8779825
    Abstract: A delay element delays an output signal Dt from an arithmetic circuit and outputs a delayed signal Dd. An XOR element compares the output signal Dt with the delayed signal Dd, and outputs an XORout signal with the signal value “0” when the signals match each other, and outputs an XORout signal with the signal value “1” when the signals do not match each other. In a flip-flop, when the signal value of the XORout signal at the rise of a clock of a clock signal CK is “0”, the output signal Dt is output from a flip-flop, and when the signal value of the XORout signal at the rise of the clock becomes “1” even once, a fixed value of the signal value “0” continues to be output.
