Abstract:
An electronic system includes: a display controller that causes display, on a screen of the mobile communication terminal, of an image corresponding to a position of the mobile communication terminal on a virtual wide-area image that is a virtual image wider than a display range of the electronic apparatus; a detector that detects a positional relationship between a displayed image on the electronic apparatus and a displayed image on the mobile communication terminal; and a generator that generates a position indicating image that shows the positional relationship between the displayed image on the electronic apparatus and the displayed image on the mobile communication terminal. The display controller also causes display of the position indicating image on the screen of the mobile communication terminal.
Abstract:
A signal processor includes an amplifier that amplifies a control signal which is input into the amplifier to output an amplified control signal; and a controller that performs predetermined control based on the amplified control signal. When the control signal is not input into the amplifier, the amplifier amplifies a voltage signal input from a power source for driving the amplifier.
Abstract:
A radar apparatus is installed in a vehicle and receives a reflection wave from a target to derive information about the target. The radar apparatus includes a signal processor to extract a peak signal that is obtained from a difference frequency between a transmission signal whose frequency changes in a prescribed cycle and a reception signal representing reception of a reflection wave that is generated from a transmission wave of the transmission signal reflected by the target, in each of an up period in which the frequency of the transmission signal increases and a down period in which the frequency decreases; and to determine whether a target information derivation environment is good or bad based on a number of the peak signals each of which corresponds to a static object having a plurality of angle information.
Abstract:
A radar apparatus includes a retrieval unit, an estimation unit, a calculation unit, and a determination unit. The retrieval unit retrieves a strong reflection object based on a signal strength which a frequency spectrum of a beat signal generated by mixing a transmission signal which is frequency-modulated and emitted and a reception signal which is formed in the transmission signal is reflected on a target indicates. The estimation unit estimates an estimation orientation which is an orientation of a target assumed to be present around the strong reflection object, based on a relative distance to the strong reflection object. The calculation unit calculates power which is the signal strength for the estimation orientation by generating an orientation spectrum in the estimation orientation based on a frequency component corresponding to the relative distance. The determination unit determines whether there is the target in the estimation orientation based on the power.
Abstract:
An object detection circuit detects an object moving in a periphery of a vehicle by a frame correlation method that uses a plurality of shot images captured at successive times. A state judgment part disables a detection function of the object detection circuit when a steering angle of an own vehicle is not in a prescribed steering angle range. Then, a condition changer changes the prescribed steering angle range corresponding to a condition of the steering angle in accordance with a velocity of the own vehicle. Therefore, the condition changer can relax the condition for enabling the detection function in accordance with the velocity of the own vehicle within a range where detection accuracy is ensured.
Abstract:
A peripheral object detection apparatus that is installed in a vehicle to detect a peripheral object obstructing travel by a vehicle includes: a radar that obtains a reflection intensity by transmitting an electromagnetic wave and receiving an electromagnetic wave reflected by an object; and a determination unit that calculates an integrated value of an amount of variation in the reflection intensity within a predetermined section, obtained by the radar, and determines on the basis of the integrated value whether or not the object is a low object not obstructing travel by the vehicle.
Abstract:
A display apparatus that displays an image detects user proximity to a display surface of a display; and causes a light source to emit light in different states, depending on whether the user proximity is proximity with one point or with plural points. Thus, the user can understand whether or not the display apparatus is ready to receive a close range operation to execute a user objective function.
Abstract:
A reproduction device includes a reproduction unit, communication paths, and a communication-path control unit. The reproduction unit is configured to be able to alternatively reproduce content items supplied from sources. The communication paths respectively correspond to the sources. The reproduction unit is connected to the sources via the respective communication paths. The communication-path control unit invalidates, when receiving an instruction to switch to the source having content to be reproduced by the reproduction unit, communication via the communication path corresponding to the source before the switching among the communication paths.
Abstract:
In an in-vehicle radar device, as a vertical azimuth which is an azimuth of a target in a direction perpendicular to a ground surface, a real image vertical azimuth which is an azimuth of a real image existing above ground is calculated from a reflected wave generated when a transmission signal transmitted from a transmission antenna reflected from the target, and a virtual image vertical azimuth which is an azimuth of a virtual image existing underground is calculated from a reflected wave generated when the transmission signal transmitted from the transmission antenna is reflected from the target and reflected again from the ground surface. Next, in the in-vehicle radar device, an angle difference between the real image vertical azimuth and the virtual image vertical azimuth which are calculated is calculated, and a height of the target from the ground surface is calculated using the calculated angle difference.
Abstract:
There is provided a radar apparatus. A first determining section is configured to determine whether there exists a continuing stationary target at a side of a lane in which a vehicle is traveling. A second determining section is configured to determine whether there exists a moving target in a specific range which is in front of the vehicle and on an opposite side of the stationary target with respect to a position of the vehicle. A changing section is configured to change position information of the moving target to a position obtained by folding back a specific position which is the position of the moving target in the specific range with the stationary target therebetween in a case where the stationary target exists and the moving target exists in the specific range. The changed position is used for deriving the position information of the target.
