The present disclosure is intended to notify an off-board passenger of a hazardous situation occurring around a target vehicle in the presence of an on-board passenger in the vehicle. A notification controller according to the present disclosure includes: an on-board passenger judgment unit, if at least one passenger in a target vehicle gets out of the vehicle to become an off-board passenger, the on-board passenger judgment unit judging whether there is a different passenger staying in the target vehicle; a hazard judgment unit that judges whether a hazardous situation is occurring around the target vehicle if there is an on-board passenger; and a notification control unit that makes radio communication with a communication terminal of the off-board passenger to make outward notification that is notification indicating the occurrence of the hazardous situation to the off-board passenger if the hazard judgment unit judges that the hazardous situation is occurring.

Notification controller and notification control method

An object is to provide a technique that allows a first mobile unit to provide an appropriate display that makes it possible to easily identify a second mobile unit in a rendezvous of the first mobile unit and the second mobile unit. A For the rendezvous of the first mobile unit and the second mobile unit, a rendezvous assistance apparatus includes a first controller that performs control to cause a first display of the first mobile unit to display a first display object on the basis of the first receive information received by the first mobile unit, the first display object indicating the position of at least part of the second mobile unit accompanied with the first image or a landscape of the outside of the first mobile unit corresponding to the first image.

Rendezvous assistance apparatus, rendezvous assistance system, and rendezvous assistance method

An object is to provide a travel environment analysis apparatus that accurately estimates an event occurring outside of a vehicle. A travel environment analysis apparatus includes a gaze point concentration area detector, a gaze point concentration area event estimation unit, and an information output unit. The gaze point concentration area detector sequentially detects a gaze point concentration area that is an area outside of a plurality of vehicles and gazed by occupants of the plurality of vehicles, based on line-of-sight information related to lines of sight of the occupants. The gaze point concentration area event estimation unit estimates, when a new gaze point concentration area which is a gaze point concentration area newly coming up is detected, an event occurring in the new gaze point concentration area. The information output unit outputs information of the new gaze point concentration area and information of the event.

According to an instruction of a display control device, a head-up display displays display information of individual types in a displayable region of a windshield. The display control device includes a type deciding unit for deciding the types of display information; and a display controller for causing the head-up display to display the display information with the types decided by the type deciding unit in the display areas of the displayable region, the display areas being provided for the individual types of display information, and to display the display guides indicating the display areas regardless of the presence or absence of the display information.

Display control device

A navigation apparatus is provided that is highly convenient for a user to view a map screen and a menu window. A display controllerdetermines a view mode of each of a map screen and a menu window, based on information about a travel condition of a moving object from a route search unitand an own-vehicle location identification unit, when the menu window is displayed according to information entered from an input unit. A display map generatorgenerates a map screen according to information about the view mode from the display controller. A display menu generatorgenerates a menu window according to information about the view mode from the display controller. A display unitdisplays the map screen from the display map generatorand the menu window from the menu generator

Navigation apparatus

A navigation system capable of enabling a user to use navigation functions such as route guidance without setting a destination. It includes an information recording unit for storing a driving history, a destination estimating unit for estimating a destination from the driving history stored in the information recording unit, a route computing unit for calculating a route to the destination estimated by the destination estimating unit, and an information display unit for causing the route calculated by the route computing unit to be displayed.

Navigation system for estimating and displaying candidate destinations

An audio system includes a key input section and a microcomputer, and enables playback volume level control that will meet the demand of a user. The key input section inputs a selection instruction for selecting one of a plurality of sound sources in response to a manipulation. The microcomputer, in cooperation with a level adjusting ratio setting library, a level adjusting pattern generator and a volume adjuster, selects the sound source designated by the selection instruction, calculates the level difference &#x394;P between the playback volume level of the sound data of the current piece of music and that of the next piece of music of the selected sound source, and adjusts the playback volume level of the next sound data in accordance with an adjusting ratio corresponding to the level difference.
