Abstract: A controller is provided for performing processes related to a mirror which is provided in a vehicle cabin and configured to be capable of changing reflectance. The controller includes a control unit configured to acquire a captured image based on a result of imaging by a camera configured to capture an image of a view behind the vehicle; and to determine a mirror reflectance, which is the reflectance of the mirror, based on a state of luminance of the captured image.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes an electric power supply circuit that supplies electric power to a plurality of connected devices, and a controller having a function to determine a distribution of electric power to be supplied to each of the plurality of connected devices within a range in which total electric power supply does not exceed an upper limit value by performing a negotiation before the electric power starts to be supplied to each of the plurality of connected devices. After the electric power starts to be supplied to each of the plurality of connected devices in accordance with the distribution based on the negotiation, if the controller receives a request for a reduction in electric power to be supplied to one device, the controller reflects the reduction in the electric power, and redetermines a distribution of electric power to be supplied to each of the plurality of connected devices.
