A location information output method includes acquiring location information from a moving body via a network, the location information indicating a location measured by a location measuring device mounted on the moving body which includes at least one of a vehicle and a terminal device owned by an occupant of the vehicle, determining an operating state of the vehicle on the basis of the information received from the moving body via the network, and in a case a transition of the operating state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, outputting information indicating that the moving body is present at a location indicated by the location information from an output part on the basis of the location information in which the location information, which corresponds to a predetermined area including a spot at a time when the operating state of the vehicle has become OFF, is excluded.

Location information output method, location information output system, and program

Provided is a position information output method of causing a computer to acquire position information, which is information indicating a position of the moving body, indicating a position which is measured by a position measurement device mounted on a moving body at a first timing via a network from the moving body including at least one of a vehicle and a terminal device owned by an occupant of the vehicle, and output information, which indicates that the moving body is present at a position indicated by the position information, from an output part after a second timing when a predetermined parameter indicating a change from a state at the first timing has satisfied a predetermined condition.

A vehicle includes options including function selection buttons and selection buttons respectively associated with operations of a plurality of functions mounted on the vehicle, and a sound controller is capable of changing a sound output from a speaker array to a sound that arrives from a target virtual sound source set at a predetermined position, and changes the position of the target virtual sound source for each of the options.

Vehicles

A vehicle remote control system includes a vehicle and a server configured to remote-control the vehicle via a communication device. The communication device comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire control information representing a control state of the vehicle from a control device configured to control the vehicle and voltage information from a power supply device configured to supply power to the vehicle; a transmission unit configured to transmit the control information and the voltage information to the server; a warning unit configured to, if the voltage information cannot be acquired, transmit a warning for notifying an abnormality of the vehicle to the server; and a processing suppression unit configured to, if the vehicle is in a maintenance state, suppress processing of the warning unit such that the warning is not transmitted.

Vehicle remote control system, vehicle remote control method, server, terminal device, and communication device

A vehicle includes an in-vehicle device and a speaker array. The in-vehicle device is capable of changing a sound outputted from the speaker array to a sound arriving from a virtual sound source that is set to a predetermined position by use of a sound control portion. The speaker array is configured to be changeable in posture relative to the vehicle and to adjust a position of a virtual sound source relative to the vehicle.

Vehicle

A vehicle includes an in-vehicle device and a speaker array. The in-vehicle device acquires information that identifies a posture of an occupant of the vehicle by use of an occupant posture acquisition portion. The in-vehicle device controls a sound outputted from the speaker array to a sound arriving from a virtual sound source that is set at a predetermined position, and corrects the position of the virtual sound source based on the posture of the occupant by use of a sound control portion.

A vehicle includes a first voice output section, a second voice output section, a third voice output section, and a control section which are arranged side by side in a width direction of the vehicle. The control section controls volume of the voice output from the first, second and third voice output sections. If sitting on a rider seat and a pillion passenger seat is detected, the control section controls the first, second and third voice output sections to make the volume of the voice output from the first and third voice output sections larger than the volume of the voice output from the second voice output section. The first and third voice output sections are located at both ends in the width direction of the vehicle and the second voice output section is located between the first and third voice output sections.

A vehicle includes a first voice output section, a second voice output section, and a third voice output section which are arranged side by side in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle. If the vehicle speed is a first threshold or less, the vehicle causes at least one of the first voice output section, second voice output section, and third voice output section to output noise sound.

Vehicle speaker arrangement

An own vehicle includes a wireless communication section, an application control section, and a speaker array. The application control section makes a voice call by wireless communication and the speaker array includes a plurality of speakers to output voice based on a voice signal in the voice call. The position information of the other calling party in the voice call is received by the wireless communication section and the relative speed as the moving speed of the other calling party with respect to the vehicle is calculated on the basis of the received position information. On the basis of the calculated relative speed, sound image localization processing is performed so that the sound image of the voice based on the voice signal to be output by the speaker array is in the direction in which the other calling party is positioned after the elapse of a prescribed time.

Vehicle with communication system

A driving assistance device includes a driving state detection portion that detects a driving state of a vehicle by a driver; an environment detection portion that detects an environment in which the vehicle travels; an emotion detection portion that detects the driver's emotion or change in emotion; a characteristic estimation portion that estimates the drivers characteristic with respect to the vehicle on the basis of the driving state of the driver in the environment detected by the environment detection portion, and the driver's emotion or change in emotion during the driving; and a change portion that changes setting of various control in the vehicle on the basis of the driver's characteristic estimated by the characteristic estimation portion.

Driving assistance device, driving assistance system, program, and control method for driving assistance device

A vehicle includes a suspension that supports a front wheel thereon, and a road surface state decision unit that decides a road surface state by detection of an acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor is provided at a lower portion of the suspension and is capable of detecting an acceleration at least in a one-axis direction. The suspension is a front fork that supports the front wheel of the saddle riding vehicle. The front fork includes a bottom case that connects a lower portion of the front fork and an axle of the front wheel to each other. The acceleration sensor is attached to the bottom case.

The present invention provides a display apparatus that provides, to a driver of a vehicle, an image showing vehicle information related to the vehicle by superimposing the image on a foreground of the vehicle, the apparatus including an obtainment unit configured to obtain information related to a driving state of the driver, and a control unit configured to control a display mode of the image based on the information obtained by the obtainment unit.
