20200327491 · 2020-10-15 ·

A presentation apparatus includes a memory storing candidate information indicating delivery location candidates determined on the basis of a history of current positions of a user. If first positional information indicating a current position of a delivery vehicle is received, areas within a first distance from the delivery location candidates are compared with the current position. If areas within the first distance from one or more of the delivery location candidates include the current position, alternative information indicating that the package can be delivered to one or more alternative delivery locations, which are the one or more of the delivery location candidates, is transmitted to a second terminal. If delivery location information indicating one of the one or more alternative delivery locations is received from the second terminal, presentation information indicating that the package is to be delivered to the alternative delivery location is transmitted to a first terminal.

There is provided a first sensor 11a, a second sensor 11b, a long-distance object recognition unit 13 for recognizing an object present in a long-distance area on the basis of three-dimensional long-distance data calculated on the basis of situation data acquired using the first sensor 11a, a short-distance object recognition unit 14 for recognizing an object present in a wide-angle and short-distance area on the basis of three-dimensional wide-angle short-distance data calculated on the basis of situation data acquired using the second sensor 11b, and a feedback unit 15 for transferring information relating to the objects between the long-distance object recognition unit 13 and the short-distance object recognition unit 14.

Pressurized sensor seal

An apparatus includes a housing including an aperture, a sensor in the housing and having a field of view received through the aperture, a seal sealing a gap between the sensor and the aperture, and a blower positioned to blow into the housing. The seal may be attached to the housing concentrically around the aperture.

DISPLAY SYSTEM

A display apparatus of the present disclosure determines whether or not a route section is a linear section on the basis of positional relationship among nodes within the route section including three or more nodes, and, for a route section which is determined to be a linear section, forms and displays a line connecting a start node with a terminal node of the route section as an AR route.

DISPLAY SYSTEM

A display system of the present disclosure forms an AR route by shifting node information included in road map data to a lane on which a subject vehicle is to travel on the basis of lane information. Thus, it is possible to display the AR route which matches a shape of a route on which the subject vehicle is to travel without providing a feeling of strangeness while resolving inconvenience that the AR route is largely displaced from the route on which the subject vehicle is to travel at positions such as an intersection and a branch point, where a plurality of roads intersect.

An inertia measure unit (IMU) includes a main circuit board, and first and second weight blocks. A first surface of the first weight block contacts the main circuit board. The first weight block includes a recess formed on a second surface thereof opposite to the first surface, and an opening formed on a side surface thereof. The second weight block is coupled to the first weight block on the second surface to cover the recess. The first and second weight blocks jointly form an inner chamber in communication with the opening. The IMU further includes a circuit board disposed in the inner chamber, and a signal line coupled to an edge of the circuit board and extending out of the opening. The signal line bends over an outer surface of the first weight block or the second weight block to connect to the main circuit board.

Audio information providing system, control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium
20200292349 · 2020-09-17 ·

There is provided an audio information providing system that can solve the problem with the audio lag and includes navigation with higher accuracy. The audio information providing system is an audio guidance system including an audio output device that is worn in the ear of a user and an information processing terminal that is communicatively connected to the audio output device. The audio output device includes: an audio output unit configured to output audio to the ear of the user; and a detection unit configured to detect the direction of the head of the user. The information processing terminal includes: a position information acquiring unit configured to acquire a current position of the user; and a generation unit configured to generate audio data which is used for the audio output unit to output audio guidance for a route to a destination to which the user moves from a direction of the destination relative to the direction of the head of the user on the basis of a relationship among position information of the destination, the current position of the user, and information on the direction of the head of the user.

Navigation Queries

A computer-implemented method includes receiving at a computer server system, from a computing device that is remote from the server system, a string of text that comprises a search query. The method also includes identifying one or more search results that are responsive to the search query, parsing a document that is a target of one of the one or more results, identifying geographical address information from the parsing, generating a specific geographical indicator corresponding to the one search result, and transmitting for use by the computing device, data for automatically generating a navigational application having a destination at the specific geographical indicator.

Sensor output correction apparatus

A sensor output correction system is provided which is capable of minimizing a risk that a correction value for use in zero-point correction differs from an actual deviation of a zero-point. An ECU includes a travel road information acquisition portion which obtains a curvature of a travel road on which a system-mounted vehicle is traveling and a vehicle information acquisition portion which obtains a detected value of a yaw rate sensor. The ECU determines whether the system-mounted vehicle is traveling on a straight path or not based on the curvature derived by the travel road information acquisition portion. The ECU determines a value (i.e., a zero-point equivalent value) which corresponds to a deviation of a current zero point of the yaw rate sensor based on detected values of the yaw rate sensor sampled while the system-mounted vehicle is moving on the straight path. The ECU determines a correction value which is subtracted from the detected value using the zero-point equivalent value.
