A coordinator () includes an accepting unit (), a required resource information calculation unit (), an insufficient resource information calculation unit (), a combination determination unit (), and a communication unit (). The required resource information calculation unit () calculates information regarding resources required to satisfy a request accepted by the accepting unit (). The insufficient resource information calculation unit () compares the required resources calculated by the required resource information calculation unit () with resources included in each of a plurality of sensor nodes (), and calculates information regarding an insufficient resource that each sensor node lacks. The combination determination unit () determines a combination of resources required to satisfy the request, based on the information regarding the insufficient resource calculated by the insufficient resource information calculation unit ().

A driver state determination unit of a drive mode switching control device regularly or irregularly determines whether a driver's state is a state of being able to perform a driving operation in a manual drive mode. The drive mode switching control device determines whether an operation performed by the driver is an emergency override operation or a non-emergency override operation. The drive mode switching control device outputs a switching signal for switching an automatic drive mode to the manual drive mode when a determination result by the driver state determination unit immediately before detection of the emergency override operation is that a driver's state is a state of being able to perform a driving operation in the manual drive mode.

Drive mode switching control device, method and program

In a network system, an own subsystem recognition unit is provided in each of subsystems, and holds a state and a function of the own subsystem. A shared information communication unit acquires states and functions of the subsystems. An objective acceptance unit accepts a setting of a target state. A shared storage unit stores knowledge regarding a combination structure of functions of the respective subsystems necessary for realizing the target state. A structure setting unit automatically sets a combination structure of functions of the respective subsystems, including determining whether the function of each of the subsystems is to be activated, based on the target state, states and functions of the subsystems, and the knowledge regarding a combination structure. A role determination unit determines functions to be executed by the respective subsystems based on the automatically set combination structure. A role notification unit notifies the subsystems of the determined respective functions.

A battery selection device has a preparation amount information acquisition component, a supply amount information acquisition component, a battery candidate extraction component, and a determination processor. The preparation amount information acquisition component acquires preparation amount information indicating the scheduled date and time of a loan and the required charge amount. The supply amount information acquisition component acquires supply amount information indicating the full charge power capacity and the current charge amount of each battery. On the basis of the preparation amount information and the supply amount information, the battery candidate extraction component selects loaner battery candidates, which are batteries that can be charged to the required charge amount by the scheduled date and time of the loan. The determination processor picks out a loaner battery on the basis of the predicted progress of deterioration of batteries.

Battery selection device, battery selection method, battery selection program, and recording medium

A reporting system has a first handheld device that locks and unlocks a door of a vehicle, and a second handheld device that communicates with the first handheld device. The first handheld device has an inside/outside determination unit that carries out wireless communication with the vehicle and acquires, with the vehicle, information of inside/outside determination on whether the first handheld device is inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle, and a transmitting unit that transmits the result of the inside/outside determination. The second handheld device has a receiving unit that receives the result of the determination from the first handheld device.

Reporting system, reporting control method, and handheld device

An automatic report to an appropriate destination can be sent in a short time when abnormality is detected with a vehicle. When the shock is determined to occur with the vehicle in step S, inside/outside determination of a portable device for a vehicle is performed in step S. In a case where the portable device is determined to be in the vehicle in step S, an emergency organization is selected as a reporting destination in step S, and in a case where the portable device is determined to be outside of the vehicle, a user's portable telephone device is selected as a reporting destination in step S. Then, in step S, a report is sent to the selected reporting destination. The present invention can be applied to, for example, an onboard apparatus for performing automatic report when abnormality occurs with the vehicle.

Onboard apparatus and report control method

The mobile terminal adequately reports when the mobile terminal receives an impact due to an accident of a vehicle. When it is determined in step Sthat the mobile terminal is set on a charge pad and it is determined in step Sthat the mobile terminal is set to a normal mode, the mobile terminal is set to an automatic report mode in step S. Meanwhile, when it is determined in step Sthat the mobile terminal is not set on the charge pad and it is determined in step Sthat the mobile terminal is set to the automatic report mode, and when a timeout time is set in step Sand it is determined in step Sthat the timeout time passes, the mobile terminal is set to the normal mode in step S

Mobile terminal, report control method, and report system

A communication system includes a portable machine having an identification code registered in a controlled object, the portable machine being capable of conducting wireless communications with the controlled object, and a portable terminal being capable of conducting noncontact wireless communications with the portable machine, wherein after noncontact wireless communications start between the portable machine and the portable terminal, the noncontact wireless communications are inhibited when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and then do not resume unless a specified instruction is given.

Communication system and portable machine

An information communication system has a vehicle portable device that conducts wireless communication with a vehicle, and a mobile terminal that includes a display part and conducts near-field wireless communication with the vehicle portable device. The vehicle portable device includes a vehicle information acquisition part that acquires vehicle information on the vehicle, wherein the vehicle information is transmitted from the vehicle by wireless communication, and a transmission controller that controls the transmission of the vehicle information to the mobile terminal by near-field wireless communication. The mobile terminal includes an execution controller that acquires the vehicle information transmitted from the vehicle portable device and controls execution of a predetermined program for displaying the vehicle information on the display part.
