An image display apparatus includes a microprocessor configured to perform determining whether a position of a first device is a predetermined position, and controlling image displays on a first display portion provided at the first device and a second display portion provided at a second device in accordance with a determination result. The microprocessor is configured to perform the controlling including controlling image displays on the first display portion and the second display portion so that a predetermined image is displayed on the first display portion before it is determined that the first device is the predetermined position, and the predetermined image is displayed while gradually moving over time from the first display portion to the second display portion when it is determined that the first device is the predetermined position.

Image display apparatus, image display system and image display method

A predicted energy consumption calculation unit calculates, when an on-vehicle apparatus of a rental vehicle is operated during the period of depositing an article in a deposit space of the rental vehicle, a predicted energy consumption that is a predicted value of the amount of energy consumed by the on-vehicle apparatus. A rentable period determination unit determines a rentable period of the deposit space on the basis of the predicted energy consumption calculated by the predicted energy consumption calculation unit.

Rental system

An information transmission apparatus includes: a mode instruction unit configured to instruct a first mode to permit a voice output by the voice output unit or a second mode to prohibit the voice output; an image control unit configured to control a display image of a display unit so as to display an agent image including a face image of an agent; and an output determination unit configured to determine whether or not output of information to the user is necessary. The image control unit controls the display image so as to display, when the output determination unit determines output of information is necessary without being input a voice of an utterance by the user in a state where the second mode is instructed, a second agent image including a second face image.

Information transmission apparatus and information transmission method

A vehicle control device includes an article storage condition acquiring section that acquires a storage condition of an article that is accommodated in a room of a vehicle, and an indoor environment control section that controls an indoor environment of the vehicle by operating an air-conditioning device of the vehicle, and sunshades, based on the storage condition acquired in the article storage condition acquiring section.

Vehicle control device and delivery system

A parking system which communicates with a communication terminal of a parking staff Ps who takes charge of deadheading vehicles between a loading space and an unloading space of vehicles and a vehicle storage space by valet parking includes a loading vehicle recognition unit which recognizes that a target vehicle for the valet parking is parked in the loading space, and an electronic key management unit which transmits an electronic key for enabling an operation of the target vehicle to the communication terminal of the parking staff when the loading vehicle recognition unit recognizes that the target vehicle is parked in the loading space.

Parking system

A scheduled use period recognition unit recognizes a scheduled period for use of a vehicle by a user. An unscheduled use detection unit detects an unscheduled use start operation that is an operation performed by a provider so as to start the use of the vehicle during the scheduled use period. An unscheduled use inhibition unit executes, when the unscheduled use start operation is detected, unscheduled use inhibition processing for inhibiting the use of the vehicle by the provider.

Vehicle control device

An information provision device () includes: an emotion engine () which estimates an emotion of a test driver Pof a vehicle (); an action detection unit () which detects an action performed on the vehicle () by the test driver P; a function-of-interest estimation unit () which estimates a specific function that interests the test driver Pfrom among the functions possessed by the vehicle () based on the action of the test driver Pdetected by the action detection unit () and the emotion of the test driver Pestimated by the emotion engine () when an action is detected; and an information provision unit () which provides the test driver Pwith information on the specific function.

Information provision device, and moving body

An information provision device is disclosed. The information provision device comprises: cameras and a driver's seat microphone which detect the state of a user of a moving body, the user being located within a predetermined area including the moving body; an emotion engine which estimates emotions of the user based on the detection results from the cameras and the driver's seat microphone; and an image transmission unit which, when the emotion level of the user estimated by the emotion engine is increased by a predetermined level or higher, captures an image of the user through the driver's seat camera and transmits the captured image data of the user to a communication terminal of the user.

A mobile unit control device is installed in a vehicle and includes a user detector that detects a user located within a first predetermined distance from the vehicle; a sight line detector that detects the direction of the sight line of the user detected by the user detector; and a response controller that performs interest response processing of, when the sight line detector detects that the sight line of the user is directed toward the vehicle, actuating an accessory (e.g., headlights, tail lamps) provided in the vehicle to change in a manner recognizable from outside the vehicle.

Mobile unit control device and mobile unit

A processing result error detection device includes: a behavior recognition unit which recognizes behavior of a user; a processing unit which executes a process dependent on the behavior of the user; an emotion presumption unit which presumes an intensity of emotion of the user based on reaction of the user to a processing result; and a judgment unit which judges that the processing result includes an error when the presumed intensity of emotion of the user is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.

Processing result error detection device, processing result error detection program, processing result error detection method, and moving entity

A service providing apparatus including an occupant detector configured to detect presence of each of a plurality of occupants in a vehicle and a control unit including a CPU and a memory coupled to the memory, wherein the CPU and the memory are configured to perform: estimating an individual feeling of the each of the plurality of occupants detected by the occupant detector; estimating a general mood representing an entire feeling of the plurality of occupants, based on the estimated individual feeling of the each of the plurality of occupants; deciding a service to be provided to a group of the plurality of occupants, based on the estimated general mood; and outputting a command to provide the decided service.

Service providing apparatus and method

In the case that a plurality of users execute output reservations while looking at targets to be output together, the necessity for an operation to sort the output materials by user after output is eliminated. The plurality of users are classified, the plurality of targets to be output selected in a scattered manner by the plurality of classified users are bulked together as selected targets to be output for each user, and those bulked targets to be output are output for each user.
