Ehara’s recent patent work addresses vehicle communication and battery management.

“Vehicle Control System” describes an integrated ECU that controls in-vehicle ECUs. When the vehicle starts, the integrated ECU secures in-vehicle communication and activates the ECU connected to an auxiliary battery sensor, allowing communication with the sensor to begin in parallel. The sensor’s battery-state information is relayed to the integrated ECU.

“Power Supply System for Vehicle and Control Method” concerns charging a vehicle’s low-voltage battery. Under specified conditions—including a short period since the vehicle was switched off, a detected connection to an external power supply, and a low battery charge—the charging controller initiates charging.
