PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the automatic operation system of a vehicle capable of ensuring safety while preventing the cost increase or scale enlargement of on- vehicle equipment. SOLUTION: In a vehicle control computer 26, processing systems transmit data for identifying the respective processing systems to an output signal selecting device 47, and the output signal of the output signal selecting device 47 is transmitted to a servo computer 27 as a device equipped with the other multiplexed processing systems. Moreover, signals related with comparison from comparators 43 and 46 in those respective processing systems are transmitted to the servo computer 27. In the servo computer 27, when the signal outputted from the output signal selecting device 47 is not the signal from the processing system to be selected, it is judged that abnormality is generated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the automatic operation system of a vehicle capable of ensuring safety while preventing the cost increase or scale enlargement of on- vehicle equipment. SOLUTION: Different dummy data are transmitted to a comparator 43 as each arithmetic result in a main CPU 41 and a sub-CPU 42, and when a matching signal is outputted from the comparator 43, it is judged that abnormality is generated. When it is judged that abnormality is generated from the matching signal outputted from the comparator 43 according to the transmission of the dummy data, the main CPU 41 transmits a self-system stop signal to an output signal selecting device 60 so that the arithmetic result of the processing system can be prevented form being used as a signal for controlling an actuator for traveling control.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the automatic operation system of a vehicle capable of ensuring safety while preventing the cost increase or scale enlargement of on- vehicle equipment. SOLUTION: Extended input circuits 44, 45, 46, and so on transmit input data from sensors through a data bus 43 to a main CPU 41 in response to a select signal. A decoder 48 transmits the select signal to the extended input circuit corresponding to address data transmitted from the main CPU 41 through an address bus 47. At the time of transmitting data from the extended input circuit to the main CPU 41, an identifier for specifying the extended input circuit for transmitting the data is applied, and the address data to the decoder 48 are compared with the identifier transmitted from the extended input circuit in the main CPU 41, and when the selected extended input circuit is not matched with the extended input circuit which transmits the data, it is judged that abnormality is generated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly associate a portable telephone with an in-vehicle device, and connect both by radio. SOLUTION: In an operation management system 1, a common code is given to each of a plurality of portable telephones 2 and each of a plurality of in-vehicle devices 3, a portable telephone 2 and an in-vehicle device 3, having the same common codes out of a plurality of portable telephones 2 and a plurality of in-vehicle devices 3 execute an automatic connection procedure for automatic connection. The portable telephone 2 transmits operation management information acquired by the in-vehicle device 3 to a center device 5 through a wide-area communication network. The need for executing troublesome connection procedure for preventing wrong connection is eliminated, and it is possible to accurately associate the portable telephone 2 with the in-vehicle device 3, connect both by radio, and correctly transmit the operation management information.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide support information for safe vehicle driving according to information on points where vehicle collisions and hazardous conditions occurred in the past. SOLUTION: A drive recorder 10 saves information on points where vehicle collisions and hazardous conditions occurred, and warns a vehicle driver when recognizing a vehicle approaching such a point based on a position signal from a GPS receiver 14 for detecting a current vehicle position. The warning notifies the vehicle driver of the approach to the point where vehicle collision or hazardous condition occurred in the past, and can motivate the vehicle driver to drive carefully and safely when passing the point.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent transmission currents flowing through a loop coil from decreasing while elongating the length of a loop coil. SOLUTION: A loop antenna 1 is series-connected to inductances "L 1 " to "L 3 " in each sections "a 1 " to "a 3 " and to capacitors 6 to 8 of capacitances "C 1 " to "C 3 " that resonate in series with the inductances at a transmission frequency. Consequently, the loop coil 1 is regarded equivalent to series-connected three coils in each of the divided section "a 1 " to "a 3 ", so that the transmission currents flowing through the loop coil 1 can be prevented from decreasing while elongating the length of the loop coil 1.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a Bluetooth communication machine of a car navigation device to establish only with one desired cellular phone when the car navigation device makes a communication with the outside via the cellular phone. SOLUTION: The Bluetooth communication machine 3 is installed in a case 7 to which radiowave shield is performed. When communicating with the outside, one cellular phone 12 is placed in the case 7 and a door 10 is closed. Thus, since the Bluetooth communication machine 3 establishes only with the cellular phone 12, the car navigation device becomes possible to communicate with the outside via the Bluetooth communication machine 3, the cellular phone 12 by taking out the cellular phone 12 from the case 7 after establishing the communication link.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a loop antenna circuit which is suitable for performing two-way simultaneous communication using one loop antenna, and to provide a transmitter-receiver using the loop antenna circuit. SOLUTION: A second capacitor (C2) is connected in parallel to a serial circuit connecting a first capacitor (C1) in series to a loop antenna (2), thereby configuring a loop antenna circuit (1) with both terminals of the second capacitor as signal input and output terminals (3, 4). A transmitting circuit (7) and a receiving circuit (8) are connected in parallel to the input and output terminals. A circuit constant of the loop antenna circuit is determined to incur serial resonance at a transmitting frequency and to incur parallel resonance at a receiving frequency.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of generating and outputting a sinusoidal signal, using only a pair of a half-bridge circuit and a low pass filter, being operated by a power supply of single polarity. SOLUTION: An FET 9 and an FET 10 constituting a half-bridge circuit 8 are alternately made into conduction according to a level change of a rectangular wave signal of a duty ratio of 50% being output from an FM modulation circuit 1. The maximum amplitude of the rectangular wave signal appearing at an output terminal of the half-bridge circuit 8 is adjusted by an amplitude control circuit 13. By cutting a direct-current component of the rectangular wave signal using a capacitor 14, and filtering by use of a low pass filter 15, a sinusoidal signal having no offset component is output.
