Systems and methods are described herein for managing communications for a connected vehicle, such as between the connected vehicle and other connected vehicle and/or between the connected vehicle and infrastructure entities, such as providers of services to the connected vehicle. For example, a communication network, such as a network provided by a network carrier, may include various cloud engines or other network-based servers that manage, coordinate, and/or provision communications between the connected vehicle and other parties, such as vehicles, road devices, buildings, and other infrastructure entities.

The present disclosure relates to technology that controls a remote moving body based on collaboration between the moving body and human, and a method for controlling a moving body includes acquiring a first biosignal indicating an intention to start operation of the moving body from a user, operating the moving body, determining a surrounding situation of the moving body that autonomously controls the driving, providing the user with surrounding information of the moving body for inducing path setting, acquiring a second biosignal evoked by recognition of the surrounding information from the user, setting a driving direction of the moving body, commanding the moving body to automatically perform a driving operation to be carried out in the set driving direction, and acquiring a third biosignal responsive to recognition of a driving error from the user and correcting the driving direction of the moving body to induce driving path resetting.

An electronic control unit of a hybrid vehicle is configured to determine whether or not parking operation of the hybrid vehicle is being performed. The electronic control unit is configured to control the engine and the rotary electric machine such that starting the engine when the parking operation of the hybrid vehicle is being performed is harder than starting the engine when the parking operation of the hybrid vehicle is not being performed.

A method for making the remotely operated control of a movement of a motor vehicle secure using a mobile terminal. The method includes the follow steps: triggering the remotely operated control of a movement of the motor vehicle by a user using the mobile terminal, verifying that the user is within sight of the motor vehicle by means of the mobile terminal, if the verification is positive and shows that the user is in sight of the motor vehicle, said remotely operated control of a movement of the motor vehicle is performed, and if not said control is inhibited.

A system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium has instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of a portable user device, cause the processor to wirelessly connect to a machine via a wireless transceiver of the portable user device, display a control interface for the machine on a user interface of the portable user device, receive a user input through the control interface regarding operation of a controllable component of the machine, and provide a command to the machine via the wireless transceiver based on the user input to facilitate remote operation of the controllable component of the machine.

A portable device is applied to a vehicle having an automatic parking function of allowing the vehicle to run and park automatically in a predetermined position in a state where a user is out of the vehicle. The portable device includes a forward button member which is operated by the user when moving the vehicle forward, and a backward button member which is operated by the user when moving the vehicle backward. The portable device further includes a signal output unit having a function of outputting an automatic parking instruction signal for setting the vehicle in an automatic parking mode by touch-operating both the forward and backward button members. In this configuration, the forward button member has a forward arrow light emitting portion, and the backward button member has a backward arrow light emitting portion.

A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle based on information from a mobile communication terminal includes an operation restricting portion that restricts operation to the mobile communication terminal, a determination portion that determines a restriction state of the operation to the mobile communication terminal imposed by the operation restricting portion, and a vehicle control portion that controls the vehicle in accordance with the determination of the determination portion.

A dynamic adjustment method while driving a vehicle of at least one vehicle operating parameter is for a vehicle having an electronic control unit adapted to set the operating parameter, and a communication interface operatively connected to the electronic control unit. An application program is installed on board a portable processing device including a communication interface communicating with the vehicle communication interface. The application program accesses an electronic map of a path and divides the path in sectors. Operating parameter values are stored via the application program, each value being associated to a corresponding sector. While driving, the sector occupied by the vehicle is identified in real time. Values are transmitted sector by sector, from the portable processing device to the electronic control unit so that the electronic control unit sets, sector by sector, the vehicle operating parameter vehicle to the value associated to the occupied sector.

A heartbeat sensor obtains a heartbeat of a driver. A concentration level computing unit estimates a concentration level of the driver at a time later than a timing of obtaining the heartbeat by the heartbeat sensor, on the basis of the heartbeat obtained by the heartbeat sensor. A state determining unit controls driving assistance for a vehicle on the basis of a comparison of the concentration level of the driver estimated by the concentration level computing unit with a target concentration level of the driver that is set in association with a position or an environment in which the vehicle driven by the driver is predicted to travel.

There is provided a control system for controlling a system, the control system comprising one or more controllers, configured to: receive a rule configuration signal, the rule configuration signal specifying properties of a rule, the properties comprising an indicator of an action to be carried out and at least one associated trigger condition; store the indicator of the action and the at least one associated trigger condition at a storage location; determine whether the rule is to be evaluated by the control system; and if the determination indicates that the rule is to be evaluated by the control system, and upon the at least one associated trigger condition being met: generate at least one control signal in accordance with the indicated action; and output the at least one control signal to at least one vehicle system to be controlled.
