A hazard prediction and a hazard avoidance procedure are performed based on a predetermined hazard avoidance condition during an autonomous driving operation of a vehicle. User-input information about a driving operation of the vehicle; is received, and area or object information is checked to determine the area or the object as a monitoring target. The monitoring target is tracked. At least one additional hazard avoidance procedure for the monitoring target is set, and the at least one additional hazard avoidance procedure is performed in addition to the hazard avoidance procedure when the monitoring target approaches the vehicle.

A vehicular notification apparatus detects an emotion of a driver based on a line-of-sight detection result and a brain activity detection result, and performs control to suppress notification in response to that the detected emotion of the driver is uncomfortable.

Vehicular notification apparatus

A wireless power supply system is provided to include a headset and a vehicle-side system. The headset, which is attached to a head of a driver of a vehicle, is configured (i) to generate an electric power by using a received electromagnetic wave, (ii) to actuate a sensor with the generated electric power to measure an activity of the driver, and (iii) to transmit activity measurement data indicating a measurement result. The vehicle-side system, which is provided to the vehicle, is configured (i) to transmit the electromagnetic wave, (ii) to receive the activity measurement data from the headset, and (iii) to monitor the activity of the driver based on the received measurement data. The transmitting or receiving state of the electromagnetic wave is monitored to provide a monitoring result, which is to be notified.

In an electronic information processing system, a brain activity detection unit detects an activity of a user's brain. A change determination part determines whether a character input mode presently set needs to be changed to a different character input mode based on a detection result of the brain activity detection unit after a character input under the character input mode presently set is displayed on a display unit. When the change determination part determines that the character input mode presently set needs to be changed to the different character input mode, the character input mode setting part sets the different character input mode instead of the character input mode presently set.

Electronic information processing system and storage medium

A route calculation system includes: a route calculation data storage unit storing route calculation data; a route calculation unit calculating a route using the route calculation data and recalculating the route using the route calculation data when a predetermined recalculation condition is satisfied; a notification information output unit outputting notification information informing recalculation of the route; a brain activity detection unit detecting brain activity of a user; a brain activity determination unit determining detection result of the brain activity detection unit; a notification determination unit determining whether notification information output is necessary according to determination result of the brain activity determination unit after the route is recalculated; and a notification control unit enabling notification information output when notification information output is determined to be necessary and disabling notification information output when notification information output is determined to be not necessary.

Route calculation system, computer program product, and storage medium

An onboard system equipped to a vehicle includes a vehicle control device controlling a switching of a driving mode of the vehicle between a manual driving and a self-driving, and a brain activity sensor capable of detecting an activated portion of a brain of a driver of the vehicle. The vehicle control device determines whether a degree of uneasiness felt by the driver exceeds a threshold or not based on a detection result detected by the brain activity sensor before the switching of the driving mode. When determining that the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver does not exceed the threshold, the vehicle control device switches the driving mode. When determining that the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver exceeds the threshold, the vehicle control device performs a vehicle control corresponding to the degree of uneasiness felt by the driver.
