Patent number: 7844377Abstract: Current position of a vehicle and current time are acquired. A user recognizing unit recognizes a user. A pattern recognizing unit detects location of a portable device and movement thereof. Operation state of an engine is acquired from an engine control mechanism. Based on the information, processes are performed such as switching communication stand-by mode of the portable device to active stand-by mode, notifying the portable device of a transition of an on-board terminal to automatic locking mode, preventing needless unlocking and locking of doors, and setting warning mode of the portable device.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2006Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Mitsuru Oota, Tetsuya Nomura, Satoshi Harumoto, Yuusaku Matsuda, Yasushi Seike

Publication number: 20090055046Abstract: A situation determining unit determines a situation a vehicle currently faces. A control processing unit controls a vehicle equipment based on a determination of the situation determining unit. An arbitration processing unit determines, when a conflict of control requests occurs, contents of the control by settling the conflict, and when different control requests are issued to an identical vehicle equipment, sets a priority in the control requests, adjusts a timing of performing the control, and adjusts an amount for the control. The control processing unit performs the control based on the contents of the control determined by the arbitration processing unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2005Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Satoshi Harumoto, Yuusaku Matsuda, Tetsuya Nomura, Mitsuru Oota, Hiroaki Yamao, Yasushi Seike

Patent number: 7319390Abstract: A data processing apparatus executes data processing with respect to an output of A/D conversion of an input signal. The data processing apparatus includes a high-frequency noise recognition unit. The high-frequency noise recognition unit detects number of peaks of waveforms of the input signal on a basis of the output of the A/D conversion. The high-frequency noise recognition unit determines whether or not the number of the peaks, which has been detected within a predetermined time, is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Hirofumi Takasuka, Yoshihiro Sasaki, Yasushi Seike
