IN-VEHICLE TERMINAL DEVICE AND DISPLAY METHOD FOR IN-VEHICLE DISPLAY
In an in-vehicle terminal device that is able to perform communication with a server device, an identification information acquisition unit acquires identification information of a user who boards a vehicle. A communication unit transmits the identification information of the user to the server device and receives arrangement information of a plurality of display elements corresponding to the identification information of the user transmitted from the server device. A setting unit decides an arrangement of the display elements of the in-vehicle display according to an arrangement criterion based on vehicle type information of the vehicle using the arrangement information of the display elements corresponding to the identification information of the user.
VEHICLE CONTROL CIRCUIT, VEHICLE, AND DATA INPUT/OUTPUT METHOD
A vehicle control circuit is mountable on a vehicle on which a driver rides. The vehicle control circuit is configured to: receive an input of a detection result of a state of the driver during driving from at least one sensor, the sensor being mounted on the vehicle and configured to detect the state; output recommendation data to a notification device mounted on the vehicle, the recommendation data relating to use of a product or service for improving the state of the driver during driving indicated by the detection result; perform settlement processing for the use of the corresponding product or service in accordance with an input from the driver in response to the recommendation data; and provide a route to a destination of the use of the product or service based on completion of the settlement processing via the notification device.
AGENT SYSTEM, SERVER DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING AGENT SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE NON-TRANSIENT STORAGE MEDIUM
In an agent system, a first server device transmits information associated with a speech of a first user acquired from a first terminal device to a second server device, and the second server device transmits information associated with the speech of the first user acquired from the first server device to a second terminal device or an on-vehicle agent device on the basis of existence of a second user recognized by the second terminal device or the on-vehicle agent device.
Vehicle information display system
A vehicle information display system includes: a master-side instrument including a first power transmission coil, a first signal transmission coil, and a first case; and a meter instrument including a display unit, a second power transmission coil, a second signal transmission coil, and a second case. The master-side instrument and the meter instrument have a positional relation such that in a state in which a fitting recessed part of the first case and the second case are fitted to each other, the first power transmission coil is opposed to the second power transmission coil, and the first signal transmission coil is opposed to the second signal transmission coil.
VEHICLE INTEGRATED COMPUTER
An electric vehicle (EV) can include a VIC in operable communication with the EV main computer and the EV infotainment system. The VIC can include a processor, a memory in operable communication with the processor, and a computer-readable medium in operable communication with the processor and having software, such as a hypervisor, stored thereon. The VIC can be configured to have internet connectivity.
AGENT DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AGENT DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An agent device is equipped with a plurality of agent controllers which provide a service including causing an output device to output a response of voice in accordance with an utterance of an occupant of a vehicle, in which a first agent controller included in the plurality of agent controllers provides an agent controller different from the first agent controller with first service information on the service to be provided to the occupant.
Vehicle driver nudge system
A driver nudge system is operated within a vehicle to indicate a warning to a driver of the vehicle. The system includes a steering wheel, a vehicle sensor monitoring an operating environment of the vehicle, and an electric motor connected to the steering wheel configured to nudge the steering wheel in an opposite direction to a threat diagnosed according to data from the vehicle sensor.
Sound output and text display device for a vehicle
A sound output and text display device for a vehicle, including: an output unit that, in a case in which sound to be output inside the vehicle has been decided, outputs the sound inside the vehicle; and a display unit that displays text corresponding to the sound on a windshield in accordance with a state of use of the vehicle.
Driver performance measurement and monitoring with path analysis
A method for performing driver performance comparisons is enabled, e.g., via in-vehicle capture of performance data from multiple vehicles or drivers. The performance comparisons are enabled via a geohash-based path analysis.
Systems and methods for interfacing with an occupant
Systems and methods communicate an intent of an autonomous vehicle externally. In one implementation, scan data of a field around a travel path of an autonomous vehicle is obtained. The scan data is captured using at least one sensor. An object in the field around the travel path is determined from the scan data. The object is determined to be mutable or immutable. A navigation condition associated with the object is determined based on whether the object is mutable or immutable. The navigation condition is correlated to a portion of the travel path. Control operation(s) of the autonomous vehicle is determined for the portion of the travel path in response to the navigation condition. A representation link between the control operation(s) of the autonomous vehicle and the object is generated. A representation of the field around the travel path is rendered and includes the representation link.
