  • Publication number: 20210027633
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, a vehicle, an information processing method and an information processing program which improve the utility of techniques for generating a travel plan for a vehicle are provided. An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller acquires first storage information indicating a stored amount of a first storage apparatus of a first vehicle provided with the first storage apparatus for storing drainage water. The controller generates a travel plan for a second vehicle provided with a second storage apparatus for storing the drainage water collected from the first vehicle, based on predetermined information which includes the first storage information.

  • Publication number: 20210026550
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle includes a memory and a controller. The memory has a first storage area, which is a write restricted area storing one or more first control patterns out of a plurality of control patterns for the vehicle, and a second storage area, which is a write enabled area storing one or more second control patterns out of the plurality of control patterns for the vehicle. The controller determines whether a control condition for each of the plurality of control patterns is satisfied based on a state of the vehicle, to select one or more control patterns for each of which the control condition is satisfied, and to control the vehicle according to the selected one or more control patterns.

  • Patent number: 8996799
    Abstract: A storage system includes a first storage device, and a second storage device retrieving stored data at higher speeds than the first storage device. The storage system further includes a feature calculation unit calculating feature data based on a data content of storage target data, a data management unit storing the storage target data and managing a storing position thereof based on the feature data calculated from the storage target data, and a duplication determination unit determining whether or not the same storage target data as the storage target data to be newly stored is already stored in the first storage device. In a case that the same storage target data as the storage target data to be newly stored is already stored in the first storage device, the data management unit stores the storage target data already stored in the first storage device into the second device.
