Abstract: A spot search device includes a device communication unit, a search unit, a generator unit, and a spot search unit. The device communication unit communicates with a server device on a network. The search unit searches over information on the network with the use of the device communication unit. The generator unit generates a genre regarding information on a spot included in a search history of the search unit. The spot search unit searches, over the information on the network, for information on one or more spots around a route of a vehicle, according to the genre generated by the generator unit, with the use of the search unit. The device communication unit transmits the information on the one or more spots around the route, together with information on the route, to an onboard navigation device installed on the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion provided with a seat cushion frame, a front link configured to adjust a height of the seat cushion with respect to a base that is a slide rail or a vehicle body floor, and a front load detection sensor attached to an upper rail and configured to detect a load applied to the vehicle seat. The seat cushion frame includes a pair of side frames separated from each other in a seat width direction, the front link includes a first rotation shaft configured to be rotatable with respect to the seat cushion frame and a second rotation shaft configured to be rotatable with respect to the base, and the front load detection sensor is arranged at a position different from the second rotation shaft in a front to back direction of the seat.

Abstract: A headlight control device automatically switches a light distribution pattern of a headlight for illumination ahead of a vehicle. The headlight control device including an imager that sequentially takes images of a view ahead of the vehicle in a predetermined frame rate, an another-vehicle recognizer that recognizes a light source of another vehicle from each of the images sequentially taken by the imager, a light distribution controller that switches the light distribution pattern according to a recognition result of the another-vehicle recognizer, and a signal provider that provides a signal to illumination light of the headlight by causing the luminance of the headlight to change in a predetermined cycle. The another-vehicle recognizer recognizes, as reflected light of the headlight of the vehicle, a light source which is present within the image and of which luminance change is substantially similar to a luminance change of the signal.
