Patent number: 8472864Abstract: A database construction system constructs a database storing broadcast channels which are receivable in each area. A receiving unit receives probe information from a plurality of broadcast receiving apparatuses, the probe information including reception intensity of each of the broadcast channels and positions of the broadcast receiving apparatuses. An information storage unit stores the probe information received by the receiving unit. An extracting unit extracts the probe information with the same broadcast channel as that of new probe information, which is the probe information newly received by the receiving unit, among the probe information transmitted from a transmission area of the new probe information, from the information storage unit. A determining unit determines whether the new probe information is valid on the basis of the reception intensity included in the probe information extracted by the extracting unit and the reception intensity included in the new probe information.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Shohji Ueoka, Yuki Wakabayashi, Kazuma Fujiwara, Yuusaku Matsuda

Patent number: 8229610Abstract: A total distance calculating unit calculates a total running distance and an energy-cut-off distance calculating unit calculates a deceleration running distance of a vehicle. The deceleration running distance is a distance for which the vehicle runs while the vehicle is in a deacceleration state and no energy is supplied to a motor of the vehicle. A deceleration-running evaluating unit evaluates deceleration running of the vehicle based on a ratio of the deceleration running distance to the total running distance. The result of the evaluation is displayed for the driver of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Satoshi Harumoto, Yuusaku Matsuda, Kouei Kiyo
