Vehicle expression operation control system, vehicle communication system, and vehicle which performs expression operation

Abstract

A vehicle expression operation control system and vehicle communication system for performing an expression operation to generate an easily understood expression and a vehicle for performing an expression operation. Condition and other information about a vehicle is detected by an operation information collecting section ( ) and detected data collection section ( ), and supplied to a reaction formulating section ( ). Based on current status information of the vehicle held in a state recognizing section ( ), the reaction formulating section ( ) formulates a reaction and controls performance of an expression operation corresponding to the formulated reaction. Further, based on the reaction formulated, an operation control section ( ) controls operation of respective devices equipped to the vehicle, including lights, antennae, and the like, so that the vehicle performs such expression operation.
