  • Patent number: 9521649
    Abstract: In a system in which an in-vehicle apparatus and a smartphone are connected to each other, screen display switching cannot be performed with priorities of all the applications taken into account as respective terminals carry applications. A management block is provided in an in-vehicle apparatus or in a smartphone. The management block holds priority definitions for starting and displaying applications on both terminals. In response to external input to both terminals, the management block selects the application to be started and displayed. The management block identifies the terminal carrying the selected application, and transmits to the identified terminal a request to start the application and to switch display output accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9218812
    Abstract: The technique is implemented by a vehicular device for performing dialogs with the driver. This device has: a communication portion for communicating with a server; an output portion for outputting speech information to the driver; an input portion for inputting information based on speech uttered by the driver; and a controller for controlling the communication portion, the output portion, and the input portion. When trigger information for starting a dialog process in the vehicular device or in the server is generated, the controller receives information indicative of the type of a first dialog forming a starting point of the dialog process and information indicative of the type of a second dialog forming an ending point of the dialog process from the server and carries out the dialog process based on the received information. The second dialog is different in type from the first dialog.

  • Patent number: 9092288
    Abstract: When a power supply is cut off on updating programs, improper data remains since the power source to be supplied to the vehicle-mounted device is unstable. The check for the improper data and restoration processing are required for a reactivation processing implemented by an update processing unit so that the update is completed correctly, therefore, the user is waited. In contrast, the update processing also implemented by the update processing unit for a time period during which the power source becomes unstable is interrupted, and implemented for the time period during which the power source voltage is stable. The power source voltage is considered to be unstable based on a function of the vehicle speed, brake pedal actuation, parking brake actuation, and/or power source activation. In consequence, the update processing is carried on steadily without making the user wait.

  • Publication number: 20150100556
    Abstract: When compressing an arrangement of fixed-length records in a columnar direction, a data compression device carries out data compression aligned with the performance of a data decompression device by computing a number of rows processed with one columnar compression from the performance on the decompression device side, such as the memory cache capacity of the decompression device or the capacity of a primary storage device which may be used by an application, and the size of one record. Thus, while improving compression ratios of large volumes of data, including an alignment of a plurality of fixed-length records, decompression performance is improved.
