A mobile unit control system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire operation information on transportation located around the traveling area of a mobile unit that a user gets on and off while the mobile unit is traveling and a setting unit configured to set the traveling route or the traveling speed of the mobile unit based on the operation information on transportation.

Mobile unit control system and mobile unit control method

An information collection system includes a control device installed at a vehicle, a collection device that collects obstacle information from a plurality of the control devices, and a relay device that relays communications between the control device and the collection device. A first processor of the control device calculates a degree of confidence that an obstacle as included in a captured image captured by an image capture device provided at the vehicle, and transmits image information related to the captured image, position information added to the captured image, and the degree of confidence, to the relay device. A second processor of the relay device receives the image information, the position information, and the degree of confidence, from the control devices, and identifies an obstacle included in a captured image according to the image information in descending order of the degree of confidence. If an obstacle has been identified, the second processor transmits text information relating to the position of the identified obstacle and the content of the identified obstacle to the collection device. A third processor of the collection device receives the text information from one or more of the relay devices and stores the text information corresponding to the identified obstacle.

An image processing system includes: a possibility determination unit that determines whether there is a possibility that an obstacle is shown in an image acquired by an image acquisition device of a vehicle; a transmitting unit that transmits, from the vehicle, image information of the acquired image if it has been determined that there is a possibility that an obstacle is shown therein; a receiving unit that receives the image information from vehicles; a processing unit that performs image processing to identify an obstacle shown in the acquired image; and a duplication determination unit that determines whether or not an identified obstacle, which has been identified in a previous acquired image, is shown in a subsequent acquired image received by the receiving unit, wherein the processing unit performs the image processing on the subsequent acquired image if the subsequent acquired image has been determined to not show the identified obstacle.

An information processor includes a generation section that generates a specified character string on the basis of at least one of voice information corresponding to a content of speech detected by a voice detection section and vehicle information acquired from a vehicle. With this configuration, a user can input the specified character string, which is a hashtag, without an operation. Thus, compared to the related art in which the hashtag is generated on the basis of the operation (manual input) by the user, a burden on the user can significantly be reduced, and an input error can be prevented.

Information processor and information processing program

An image processing system includes an image capture device provided in a vehicle, a control device installed in the vehicle, and a processing device that performs image processing. The control device includes a first processor that transmits a captured image captured by the image capture device as image information from the vehicle. The processing device includes a second processor, and the second processor receives image information transmitted from a plurality of the vehicles, calculate a degree of similarity of a captured image according to newly-received image information relative to a reference image according to previously-received image information, and performs image processing to identify an obstacle with respect to a captured image having a degree of similarity that is lower than a threshold value.

A parking lot guidance device includes a processor. The processor is configured to cause a communication unit to transmit exit information to a vehicle with the highest priority among other vehicles that are transmission targets. The exit information includes information of a size of a parking section in which a host vehicle is parked, information of a position of the parking section in which the host vehicle is parked, and information of a start of exit of the host vehicle.

Parking lot guidance device

A driving support device includes a memory and a processor including hardware. When a vehicle is placed inside a rest facility and at least one of parameters indicative of respective states of traffic jams on roads ahead of and behind the rest facility satisfy a predetermined reference, the processor transmits, to a device related to the vehicle, information that proposes a departure from the rest facility.

Driving support device, driving support method, and program

An information providing device includes a receiving unit configured to receive identification information of a first user and a character string from a terminal, an extracting unit configured to extract place information associated with the character string from action histories of a plurality of persons, a first identification unit configured to identify a second user that the first user follows by consulting information that represents a relationship between users on social media, an adjusting unit configured to, of the extracted place information, raise a priority of the place information contained in the action history of the second user as compared to the other place information; and a sending unit configured to send the extracted place information and the priority of the place information to the terminal.
