In a shift device, a shift locking mechanism drives a motor to perform locking and locking release of rotation of a knob, and an autocorrect mechanism drives the motor to change a shift position of the knob to a P position. Thus, driving of the common motor enables locking and locking release of the rotation of the knob to be performed, and enables a shift position of the knob to be changed to the P position, thereby enabling a simple configuration.

Shift device

A vehicle operation authorization system includes a server that receives identification information, which identifies a first portable electronic device that is used as an electronic key for a vehicle, from the first portable electronic device, verifies the identification information, and transmits an operation permission signal to the vehicle to permit a vehicle operation in accordance with a request from the first portable electronic device. A key registration unit registers an encryption key, which is provided from the server, to the first portable electronic device. An access authorization unit uses the encryption key, which is registered in the first portable electronic device, to grant access authorization for accessing the server to a second portable electronic device so that the second portable electronic device functions as the electronic key authorized to operate the vehicle.

Vehicle operation authorization system

An antenna structure for a wireless communication device including a substrate having a first surface that supports an electronic component and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The antenna structure includes a first surface pattern formed on the first surface of the substrate. A second surface pattern is formed on the second surface of the substrate. The second surface pattern is at least partially separated from the first surface pattern in a direction perpendicular to a thicknesswise direction of the substrate.

Antenna structure for wireless communication device

A vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus is comprised of a camera installed in the front or rear of a vehicle, for picking up images of side view of the vehicle; a feature point detecting section that detects feature points in the side images and calculates the motion vectors of the detected feature points; a moving object detecting section that detects a set of a plurality of feature points approaching the vehicle in the side images as an approaching object based on the calculated motion vectors of the feature points; a feature point tracking section that tracks the feature points of the detected approaching object; and a passage time calculating section that calculates the time at which the approaching object passes the front or rear of the vehicle from the feature points of the approaching object tracked by the feature point tracking section.

Vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus

The present invention relates to a nose-view monitoring apparatus, and it is an object of the invention to detect an approaching object existing in lateral regions relative to a nose portion of a vehicle with high accuracy for notifying the information on the approaching object to an occupant. The nose-view monitoring apparatus comprises an image pickup unit provided on a nose of the vehicle for picking up a side-view image with respect to the vehicle, an optical flow vector calculating unit for calculating an optical flow vector on the basis of the image, an approaching object detecting unit for detecting the approaching object on the basis of, of the optical flow vectors calculated by the optical flow vector calculating unit, an optical flow vector having a vector component along a traveling direction of the vehicle in the image, and a notification unit for displaying the image and further for notifying the fact of the detection of the approaching object.
