In AR glasses, an incident angle calculation unit calculates first and second angles of incidence of first and second markers, respectively, to an imager relative to a reference line in the real world in accordance with image plane coordinates of the first and second markers in the image captured by the imager. A separation distance calculation unit calculates a camera-to-marker distance, which is a distance from the imager to the first marker, in accordance with the calculated first and second angles of incidence, and an inter-marker separation distance between the first and second markers along the reference line in the real world. A display adjustment unit adjusts a projection position and size of the AR image with respect to the first marker in the image plane coordinates in accordance with the camera-to-marker distance.

Image display system

A marker projector mounted on a vehicle forms a marker image on a forward road surface. A camera mounted on a wearable device, which is worn by a driver, captures an image of a landscape including the marker image. A device position and attitude sensor detects a position and an attitude of the wearable device based on a position of the marker image. The image processor determines a display position of the image on a display unit based on the detected position and attitude of the wearable device.

A vehicle control device includes: a speech acquiring section that acquires speech data related to a speech of a speaker; a state acquiring section that acquires information indicating whether or not a driver attempting to start driving a vehicle is in an intoxicated state based on the speech data; and a control section configured to limit a start operation of the vehicle in a case in which the information indicates that the driver is in the intoxicated state, the start operation being an operation performed by the driver with respect to the vehicle to start driving the vehicle.

A vehicle cabin control device includes: a plurality of seating surface changing devices; a determination unit; and an output unit. The seating surface changing devices is configured to change orientations of seating surfaces of a plurality of vehicle seats. When the determination unit determines that the sharing state is desirable, the output unit operates the seating surface changing devices so as to change orientations of bodies of the occupants to such orientations that the occupants easily communicate with each other. When the determination unit determines that the sharing state is not desirable, the output unit operates the seating surface changing device so as to change an orientation of the body of the occupant to such an orientation that the occupant does not easily communicates with the other occupants.

A communication system includes a pair of speech recognition devices that are capable of communicating with each other, each of the speech recognition devices including a speech input section into which speech is input, a speech recognition section that recognizes speech input to the speech input section, and a speech output section that outputs speech. The communication system also includes an information generation section that generates notification information corresponding to speech recognized by the speech recognition section in one speech recognition device from out of the pair of speech recognition devices, and a speech output control section that performs control to output notification speech corresponding to the notification information at a specific timing from the speech output section of the other speech recognition device from out of the pair of speech recognition devices.

Each of plural dialogue devices generates proposition information that is an utterance indicating a proposition for passengers who are on board plural vehicles, based on an utterance submitted by a passenger and current destination information and past destination information. The dialogue device transmits the generated proposition information to other dialogue device.

Voice output system, voice output method, and program storage medium

A speech interaction device includes an ascertaining section and a control section. The ascertaining section ascertains a direction of a speech utterer by audio emitted by the speech utterer. The control section controls directionality of audio output through a speaker when outputting audio toward the speech utterer, such that directionality of audio in the direction ascertained by the ascertaining section is higher than directionality of audio in other directions.

Speech interaction device

A sound outputting device includes: a receiving section that receives driving information that supports driving of a moving body; a sound outputting section that outputs at least one of a musical piece currently playing or a voice that gives notice of the driving information; and an outputting section that, during playing of the musical piece, causes the sound outputting section to output the voice that gives notice of the driving information received by the receiving section so as to match at least one of a pitch or a tune of the musical piece that is currently playing.

A headrest support structure includes: a support member configured to support a protruding member projecting from a headrest; a bracket provided in a seatback and having an accommodation chamber in which the support member is accommodated in a tiltable manner in a front-rear direction perpendicular to a width direction of the headrest; a spring provided in the accommodation chamber and deforming in a bending manner due to tilting of the support member relative to the bracket in the front-rear direction; and a projection portion projecting, in the front-rear direction, from one of an outer surface of the support member and an inner surface of the bracket which are opposed to each other. The projection portion is provided at a position different from the spring in a regulation direction perpendicular to both the front-rear direction and the width direction of the headrest.

Headrest support structure

A seat configuration member and a vehicle seat employing the seat configuration member are provided that are capable of covering reclining mechanism components and maintaining a high quality external appearance of the vehicle seat, and are moreover capable of achieving a reduction in the number of components. A lower side coupling and fixing portion disposed on a seat width direction outer side of a seat back board that is made from resin is integrally formed with an attachment portion that is L-shaped in plain view. A side airbag device is attached to a horizontal wall portion of the attachment portion. A seatback pad and a cover are mounted to the seat back board configured as described above, and the seat back board is assembled to side frames of a seatback frame.

Seat configuration member and vehicle seat employing the seat configuration member

A vehicle seat and a seat back board are obtained in which a seat cover can easily be anchored to a resin spring. In a seat back board, clips attached on a cover side are engaged with vertical clip engagement portions of the seat back board, thereby enabling the cover to be anchored to a back spring section of the seat back board. An anchoring operation of the cover to the back spring section can accordingly be made easier than in conventional anchoring structures employing for example hog rings. Moreover, since only pairs of openings are formed to the back spring section of the seat back board in order to provide the vertical clip engagement portions, any detriment to the moldability of the back spring section can be avoided.
