20120253597 | INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM, ON-BOARD DEVICE, AND PORTABLE DEVICE - An information display system is disclosed. The information display system comprises an on-board device configured to control a plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses, and a portable device including a portable display. The on-board device and the portable device are configured to communicate with each other for data exchange. The on-board device includes an apparatus information sending section configured to send apparatus information, which is information on the plurality of in-vehicle apparatuses. The portable device includes a portable display control section configured to display the apparatus information, which is sent from the apparatus information sending section, on the portable display. | 10-04-2012 |
20130222300 | IN-VEHICLE APPARATUS INCLUDING DISTORTION DETECTION ELEMENT - An in-vehicle apparatus includes a plurality of operations sections, a detection section, and a cancellation section. The operation sections are configured to receive an operation by a user while driving of a vehicle and respectively include distortion detection elements that respectively transmit detection signals in accordance with loads generated due to the operation. The detection section detects the operation to the operation sections based on the detection signals. The cancellation section determines whether loads are generated in the operation sections in a same period based on the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements and cancels the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements in the same period when the loads are generated in the same period. | 08-29-2013 |
20130222304 | CONTROL APPARATUS - A CPU of a control apparatus identifies a driver's manipulatable range, calculates compensation parameters, and sets the compensation parameters to be used for a compensation process. As a result, since the manipulation signal is compensated, e.g., to expand manipulation trajectories based on the driver's manipulatable range, a manipulation content can be recognized accurately. | 08-29-2013 |
20130275130 | SPEECH RECOGNITION APPARATUS, METHOD OF RECOGNIZING SPEECH, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR THE SAME - A speech recognition apparatus includes: a recognition device that recognizes a speech of a user and generates a speech character string; a display device that displays the speech character string; a reception device that receives an input of a correction character string, which is used for correction of the speech character string, through an operation portion; and a correction device that corrects the speech character string with using the correction character string. | 10-17-2013 |
20130282240 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A display control apparatus for a vehicle includes a steering angle detector, an operation detector, a display section, and a setting section. The steering angle detector detects a steering angle of the vehicle. The operation detector detects an operation to an operation unit mounted on a steering wheel of the vehicle. The display section displays an operation image on a display unit located behind the steering wheel in such a manner that the operation image changes according to the operation detected by the operation detector. The setting section sets a display position of the operation image on the display unit according to the steering angle detected by the steering angle detector so that a driver of the vehicle views the operation image at a position adjacent to the operation unit. | 10-24-2013 |
20130285949 | CONTROL APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING TOUCHPAD SIGNALS - A control apparatus includes a first input unit, a second input unit, and an operation command output unit. The first input unit receives a first manipulation signal indicative of a first manipulation including a first manipulation point and a first manipulation pressure from a first touchpad. The second input unit receives a second manipulation signal indicative of a second manipulation including a second manipulation point and a second manipulation pressure from a second touchpad. The operation command output unit receives the first manipulation signal and the second manipulation signal, and outputs an operation command to a display device based on a combination of the first manipulation and the second manipulation. The first touchpad is arranged to be approachable by a first manipulation finger of a left hand. The second touchpad is arranged to be approachable by a second manipulation finger of a right hand. | 10-31-2013 |
20130345897 | INFORMATION SERVICE SYSTEM AND NON-TRANSITORY TANGIBLE COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR THE SAME - An information service system for providing facility information includes: a restriction information obtaining device for obtaining restriction information relating to a driving condition or a user behavior; a preference information obtaining device for obtaining preference information of the user; a first information retrieving device for retrieving necessary facility information among multiple facility information items according to the restriction information; a second information retrieving device for retrieving preference facility information suited to the user preference among multiple necessary facility information items according to the preference information when the necessary facility information includes multiple necessary facility information items; and an information output device for outputting the necessary facility information or the preference facility information. | 12-26-2013 |
20140114539 | VEHICULAR POWER SOURCE CONTROL APPARATUS - A vehicular power source control apparatus includes: two detection devices selected from a door open and close detection device, a seating detection device, a belt detection device, a gripping detection device, a brake detection device, or a shift lever position detection device; and a power source control device to turn on the power source when a power source turn-on condition provided by two predetermined detection results is established. The two predetermined detection results are selected from detection results that the door is closed, the driver sits down on the driver seat, the driver fastens the seat belt, the driver grips the steering wheel, the driver puts on the brake pedal, or the shift lever position of the vehicle is a parking position or a neutral position. | 04-24-2014 |
