A mobile terminal communication system for a vehicle that enables pairing between a mobile terminal and a seat while inhibiting an increase in equipment installed in the seat is provided. In one aspect of the disclosure, the system includes seats that each configured to output first information in relation to a motion of an occupant; and a processor that communicates with the seats and a mobile terminal possessed by a person in the vehicle. The processor includes a comparison processing device that estimates a control-target seat, on which the person is seated, among the seats by comparing the first information outputted by each seat with second information in relation to the motion of the person outputted by the mobile terminal; and a pairing processing device that pairs the estimated control-target seat with the mobile terminal and to transmit an output of the paired mobile terminal to the control-target seat.

Mobile terminal communication system for vehicle and vehicle seat

The control device includes: a detection unit that detects a predetermined speech/motion of a user who is present in an output destination space of a directional speaker; an identification unit that identifies, in accordance with the predetermined speech/motion, an audio source of interest among audio sources and a directional speaker as an object to be controlled; and an output control unit that causes the identified directional speakers to output audio supplied from the identified audio source.

Control device, control method, and control program

The present disclosure accurately identifies a posture of a user whose body is supported by a supporting apparatus. A posture identifying device includes: a model preparing section configured to prepare a three-dimensional model from body data; a body part position information obtaining section configured to obtain body part position information from a camera; a shape information obtaining section configured to obtain shape information from a shape sensor; a model correcting section configured to correct a posture in the three-dimensional model according to (i) a position of a specific part indicated by the body part position information and (ii) a shape of a seat indicated by the shape information; and a posture identifying section configured to identify a posture of a user from the posture in the three-dimensional model thus corrected.
