Travelling corresponding to characteristics of autonomous driving can be performed. An autonomous driving control devicemounted on a vehicle and controlling autonomous driving, includes a storage unitthat stores map data, a route extraction unitthat extracts a plurality of routes from an origin O to a destination D based on the map data, a determination unitthat determines whether or not to change to another route in response to a situation of an intersection when the vehicle approaches the intersection while the vehicle is traveling in one route of the routes extracted by the route extraction unit, and an autonomous driving control unitthat controls autonomous driving based on the determination of the determination unit

Autonomous driving control device

An information terminal includes: an operation assignment information storage unit that stores operation assignment information; an actuation information reception unit that receives from an in-car device actuation information; an assignment unit that, on the basis of the operation assignment information and the actuation information, assigns some among a plurality of operations in the information terminal to each of one or more actuations among a plurality of types of actuation that can be inputted with an actuation unit provided to the in-car device respectively, according to priority levels; an actuation signal reception unit that receives an actuation signal outputted from the in-car device; and a conversion unit that, on the basis of the result of assignment by the assignment unit, converts the actuation signal into an operating command that corresponds to one among the plurality of operations.

In-car information system, in-car device, and information terminal

An information processing cooperation system, comprising: a first information processing terminal mounted on a vehicle; a second information processing terminal having a plurality of types of applications, wherein the first information processing terminal comprises: a condition determination unit configured to determine current conditions of at least one of the vehicle and a user riding on the vehicle; and an activation control unit configured to transmit, depending on the current conditions determined by the condition determination unit, an activation request for activating at least one of the plurality of types of applications to the second information processing terminal, wherein the second information processing terminal comprises: an application activation unit configured to activate an application corresponding to the activation request received from the activation control unit; and an application execution unit configured to execute the activated application in cooperation with the first information processing terminal.

An in-car information system includes a portable information terminal and an in-car device. The information terminal identifies a specific application being executed in the foreground and transmits restriction information pertaining to the particular application to the in-car device. The in-car device either allows or disallows, based upon the restriction information transmitted from the information terminal, image display corresponding to the application being executed in the foreground and transmission of operation information corresponding to an input operation.

In-car information system, information terminal, and application execution method

An in-car information system includes a portable information terminal and an in-car device. The information terminal includes a storage unit in which applications are stored and a control unit that executes an application manager. The application manager has a launch function that enables execution of the application stored in the storage unit in the foreground and a communication function that enables execution of communication processing in the background to allow the information terminal and the in-car device to exchange information.

An in-vehicle information system includes: an information terminal; and an in-vehicle apparatus. At least one of the information terminal and the in-vehicle apparatus decides whether or not a vehicle is currently in a traveling state. The in-vehicle apparatus includes a display unit with a display screen, and restricts an image area ranging over part of or all of the display screen to be obscured from view when deciding that the vehicle is currently in a traveling state. The information terminal includes an application stored therein, outputs an image corresponding to the application to the in-vehicle apparatus, and outputs regulatory information pertaining to an image area to be restricted within the image corresponding to the application, to the in-vehicle apparatus. The in-vehicle apparatus sets an image area in the display screen to be restricted by using the regulatory information output by the information terminal.
