  • Patent number: 11702094
    Abstract: The driving support apparatus includes a memory configured to store information representing a degree of familiarity with an environment for a driver of a vehicle; and a processor configured to detect an object existing around the vehicle based on a sensor signal representing a situation around the vehicle obtained by a sensor mounted on the vehicle, determine whether or not the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle, and notify the driver of the approach via a notification device mounted on the vehicle at a timing corresponding to the degree of familiarity with the environment for the driver of the vehicle, when it is determined that the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11623652
    Abstract: A machine learning method performs training of values of model parameters forming a machine learning model, and is performed in a machine learning system including a vehicle having the machine learning model and a server able to communicate with the vehicle. The machine learning method includes: detecting, by the server, a current processing load of the server; determining, by the server, processing amounts of training respectively performed by the server and the vehicle, based on the processing load; performing, by the server, training of the values of the model parameters in accordance with the determined processing amount in the server; and performing, by the vehicle, training of the values of the model parameters in accordance with the determined processing amount in the vehicle. The server decreases a processing amount at the server when the processing load is relatively high compared to when it is relatively low.

  • Patent number: 11472420
    Abstract: The machine learning device includes a predicting part configured to use a machine learning model to predict predetermined information, an updating part configured to update the machine learning model, and a part information acquiring part configured to detect replacement of a vehicle part and acquire identification information of the vehicle part after replacement. The updating part is configured to receive a new machine learning model trained using training data sets corresponding to the vehicle part after replacement from a server and apply the new machine learning model to the vehicle, if a vehicle part relating to input data of the machine learning model is replaced with a vehicle part of a different configuration.
