Abstract: A wiper control device includes an acquisition unit and an estimation unit. The estimation unit is configured to acquire a value related to a current flowing through a wiper motor that drives a wiper configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position. The estimation unit is configured to estimate a wiper angle, which is a rotation angle of the wiper, based on a current ripple in the current flowing through the wiper motor. The current ripple has a periodicity corresponding to driving of the wiper motor.

Abstract: A wiper control device includes an acquisition unit, an estimation unit, and a drive unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire a value related to a current flowing through a wiper motor that drives a wiper configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position. The estimation unit is configured to estimate a wiper angle, which is a rotation angle of the wiper, based on a current ripple in the current flowing through the wiper motor. The current ripple has a periodicity corresponding to driving of the wiper motor. The drive unit is configured to reduce an electric power supplied to the wiper motor when a position of the wiper is just before the first position or when the position of the wiper is just before the second position.

Abstract: A parallel process apparatus connecting electronic controllers via buses includes: a process request acceptance section that accepts process requests to the electronic controllers; and a process execution section that, while multiple process requests are simultaneously accepted, arbitrates the multiple process requests being accepted, and parallelizes multiple processes in accordance with the multiple process requests.

Abstract: A vehicle control system including a mobile device and an onboard device is provided. The onboard device performs vehicle control when the onboard device receives an authentication code from the mobile device located within an effective area. The mobile device measures reception strength of a vehicle signal from the onboard device and stores strength information indicating characteristics of the reception strength corresponding to a target distance to the onboard device. The mobile device determines whether or not the mobile device is located within an effective area, based on the reception strength and the strength information. The mobile device acquires correction information indicating characteristics of the reception strength corresponding to a mobile state quantity and corrects the strength information based on the mobile state quantity and the correction information.
