Abstract:
A data processing device includes a digital data processing unit and a control unit. The digital data processing unit includes a computing unit that computes digital data and a power source management unit that transceives commands with the computing unit and manages a power supply to the computing unit. The control unit controls a user interface unit that provides a user interface function. The control unit diagnoses an operation of the digital data processing unit by monitoring a transfer state of the commands between the computing unit and the power source management unit. When determining an abnormality occurrence in the operation of the digital data processing unit, the control unit resets all parts of the digital data processing unit or a part of the digital data processing unit without interrupting an operation of the user interface unit.
Abstract:
A wireless power supply system includes a power supply-side apparatus having a power supply unit configured to wirelessly supply power, a power reception-side apparatus having a power reception unit configured to receive the power from the power supply unit, a power supply area memory configured to store a power supply area where the power is supplied from the power supply unit to the power reception unit, an object position detector configured to detect a position of an object, a notifying unit configured to notify notification information, and a controller configured to cause the notifying unit to notify the information about the power supplied from the power supply unit to the power reception unit based on the power supply area stored in the power supply area memory and the position of the object detected by the object position detector.
Abstract:
A driving-mode switch control system determines whether an arousal level of a driver of a vehicle is a level at which a manual driving is possible, acquires, as operation amount information, an operation amount that is input by the driver into an operation device, sets an operation guide amount to be input into the operation device with respect to the driver determined to have the arousal level at which the manual driving is possible, and determines whether to permit a switching from an automatic driving to the manual driving based on a comparison between the operation amount acquired as the operation amount information and the operation guide amount.
Abstract:
A vehicular notification apparatus detects an emotion of a driver based on a line-of-sight detection result and a brain activity detection result, and performs control to suppress notification in response to that the detected emotion of the driver is uncomfortable.

Abstract:
A vehicular driving control system for performing vehicular driving control based on automated driving and/or driving assistance is provided. The vehicular driving control system includes a driver operation measuring instrument that measures driving operation of a driver, a user uneasiness degree measuring instrument that measures how large a degree of uneasiness of a user is, and a driving control apparatus. When it is determined that the user feels uneasy based on the user uneasiness degree, the driving control apparatus determines an uneasiness factor serving as a source of the uneasiness based on user property data in relation to a traveling situation of a vehicle. Based on the determined uneasiness factor, the driving control apparatus adjusts a control degree of the vehicular driving control, and changes the vehicular driving control so as to decrease the uneasiness of the user.
Abstract:
An onboard system equipped to a vehicle includes a vehicle control device controlling a switching of a driving mode of the vehicle between a manual driving and a self-driving, and a brain activity sensor capable of detecting an activated portion of a brain of a driver of the vehicle. The vehicle control device determines whether a degree of uneasiness felt by the driver exceeds a threshold or not based on a detection result detected by the brain activity sensor before the switching of the driving mode. When determining that the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver does not exceed the threshold, the vehicle control device switches the driving mode. When determining that the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver exceeds the threshold, the vehicle control device performs a vehicle control corresponding to the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver.
Abstract:
In a unit device, a setup unit sets arrangement information, which indicates the position of each unit device in a state where a plurality of unit devices configure a unit device group, according to a sequence that conforms to the arrangement information of adjacent devices after the aforementioned group is configured. A storage unit stores the arrangement information configured by the setup unit. A provision control unit specifies the content of the information providing command, and by collating the content of the specified information providing command with the arrangement information stored in the storage unit, provides either of at least two or more states by means of a provision unit.
Abstract:
A vehicular device includes: an eye opening degree determiner that determines a driver eye opening degree; a line-of-sight movement determiner that determines frequency of a driver line-of-sight movement; an operation determiner that determines a driver operation state for a driving operation instrument; a deviation determiner that determines a possibility that a driving state of a subject vehicle driver deviates from a safe driving state; a vehicle inside notification controller that performs a notification operation for a vehicle inside; and a vehicle outside notification controller that performs a notification operation for a vehicle outside.
Abstract:
A wireless power supply system is provided to include a headset and a vehicle-side system. The headset, which is attached to a head of a driver of a vehicle, is configured (i) to generate an electric power by using a received electromagnetic wave, (ii) to actuate a sensor with the generated electric power to measure an activity of the driver, and (iii) to transmit activity measurement data indicating a measurement result. The vehicle-side system, which is provided to the vehicle, is configured (i) to transmit the electromagnetic wave, (ii) to receive the activity measurement data from the headset, and (iii) to monitor the activity of the driver based on the received measurement data. The transmitting or receiving state of the electromagnetic wave is monitored to provide a monitoring result, which is to be notified.
