A map generation device that detects a pre-specified target object based on image information obtained by imaging from each of a plurality of vehicles; estimates position information that is an absolute position of the detected target object, the position information being estimated based on a relative position of the detected target object and each vehicle imaging the image information in which the target object is detected, and position information that is an absolute position of each vehicle at a time of imaging the target object; and integrates matching target objects included in a plurality of estimated target objects, the matching target objects being integrated based on the position information of the respective target objects and the image information of the images in which the respective target objects are included, and a number and positions of the target objects being specified.

Map generation device, recording medium and map generation method

An abnormality detection apparatus, comprises a first acquisition unit configured to acquire imaged data obtained by imaging an object vehicle traveling on a road; a first recognition unit configured to recognize a lighting state of lighting devices of the object vehicle, based on the imaged data; a second recognition unit configured to recognize a lighting necessity of the lighting devices, based on the imaged data; and a detection unit configured to detect whether the lighting devices operate normally or abnormally, based on the lighting state and the lighting necessity.

Abnormality detection apparatus, abnormality detection method, and abnormality detection system

A display control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a display control apparatus that displays an image on a display unit equipped on a vehicle, the display control apparatus including an image display unit that determines whether or not an amount of information of a first image to be displayed on the display unit equipped on the vehicle needs to be reduced based on vehicle information obtained from the vehicle, displays the first image on the display unit when the amount of the information of the first image does not need to be reduced, and displays a second image an amount of information of which is smaller than the amount of the information of the first image in place of the first image on the display unit when the amount of the information of the first image needs to be reduced.

Display control apparatus, display control method and storage medium for determining whether or not information of an image needs to be reduced based on vehicle information

A driving support method for a vehicle includes: acquiring a sound of a sound source placed outside the vehicle; and displaying, on a display portion, driving support information corresponding to an utterance content of the sound, the utterance content of the sound being recognized by a sound recognition process, in a display mode suggesting a relative position of the sound source from the vehicle, the relative position being specified based on the sound.

Driving support method, vehicle, and driving support system

An information providing device includes circuitry configured to: acquire an uttered word which is uttered by a user and an utterance time at which the Littered word is uttered by the user; control output of offer information associated with the uttered word to the user; and restrict output of the offer information associated with the uttered word within a predetermined masking period from the utterance time of the uttered word.

Information providing device and information providing method

In a server device, a specifying part is configured to, based on information acquired from a plurality of vehicles, specify a distribution target vehicle to which an image recognition logic for image recognition of a predetermined object is to be distributed, among the plurality of vehicles. A distribution part is configured to distribute the image recognition logic to the distribution target vehicle specified by the specifying part. An acquisition part is configured to acquire information on the predetermined object from the distribution target vehicle to which the image recognition logic has been distributed, the information on the predetermined object being recognized by executing the image recognition logic on a captured out-of-vehicle image of the distribution target vehicle.

Server device and in-vehicle device

An information processor includes a keyword acquisition section configured to acquire a keyword; a first acquisition section configured to acquire information on a description of the acquired keyword from a database; a summary creating section configured to summarize the description to create a summary; an extracting section configured to extract, from the description, at least one element that is not contained in the summary; an output section configured to output the at least one element that is not contained in the summary to a user, and to output the summary to the user after outputting the at least one element that is not contained in the summary to the user; and a profile creating section configured to create a user profile of the user in accordance with an input indicative of an interest of the user.

Information processor

A driving assistance apparatus includes a memory and a processor having hardware. The processor is configured to acquire behavior prediction information of a moving object within a predetermined range centered on a subject vehicle to which driving assistance is applied, predict behavior content of the moving object within the predetermined range based on the acquired behavior prediction information of the moving object, and output a notification of an alert level corresponding to the predicted behavior content of the moving object at an edge of a windshield corresponding to a side on which the moving object, the behavior content of which has been predicted, exists, with respect to the position of a driver.
