摘要:
A navigation apparatus measures the position of a vehicle based on position information and performing route guiding based on map information. The navigation apparatus includes an inputting unit for inputting specific information on a product or the like and selection conditions for the product or the like, a transmitting unit for transmitting the input specific information to an external storage unit in which characteristic information on the product or the like is stored, a receiving unit for receiving the characteristic information which is transmitted from the external storage unit, a retrieving unit for retrieving optimal characteristic information matching the selection conditions from the received characteristic information, a displaying unit for displaying the retrieved characteristic information, and a guiding unit for automatically setting the position of a provider for the product or the like based on the retrieved characteristic information and performing route guiding to the position of the provider.
摘要:
Providing a car navigation apparatus which can always detect a position of a car with high accuracy, and can obtain traffic information in a practical manner. The car navigation apparatus according to the present invention obtains the DGPS correction data from a base station nearest the car in two-way radio communication instead of obtaining the DGPS correction data by receiving the FM broadcasting. Accordingly, the current position of the car can always be detected with high accuracy. Furthermore, the car navigation apparatus according to the present invention obtains traffic information by having access to a traffic information providing system in two-way radio communication instead of obtaining traffic information by receiving the FM broadcasting. So, the car navigation apparatus can obtain traffic information near the current position selectively or according to the priority. Accordingly, the car navigation apparatus can promptly obtain traffic information when necessary, and can obtain necessary traffic information promptly.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program executed in the information processing apparatus. The invention is applied to the calculation of a premium and includes judging of driving of a driver on the basis of a detection result of an emotional state of the driver to enable a more objective judgment of the driving and the acquirement of a suitable judgment result. Another aspect relates to supplying the driver with various pieces of information obtained by a navigation system or the like. The driver is supplied with a prescribed piece of information while changing a transmission method according to an emotional state of the driver for enabling a suitable transmission of the various pieces of information to the driver.
摘要:
Method and apparatus to determine a preference of a user based on a content of a broadcast selected by the user and a content of a recording medium, so that the content of the broadcast can be selectively recorded and provided.
摘要:
A vehicle driver inputs an alarm signal from an operating unit. A control unit adds a current position of the vehicle detected by a navigation unit to the alarm signal and transmits the alarm signal with the current position from a transmitting and receiving unit to another vehicle. The transmitting and receiving unit receives a signal from another vehicle and supplies the signal to the control unit. The control unit calculates an intervehicular distance from current position data of the other vehicle included in the received signal and current position data of its own vehicle and outputs the alarm signal from speakers only when the intervehicular distance is within a predetermined value.
摘要:
A car positioning system that permits a user to easily position a car with security. Information necessary for locating the car is sent from the car by authentication of the user at a terminal unit, and received by a terminal unit which sends positional information about the car to the user. Also, in response to an access made by the terminal unit having a unique identification code via a public telephone network, positional information about the car is sent from a main unit installed in the car to the terminal unit.
摘要:
An adjustment operating apparatus for adjusting an adjusting object, such as sound volume, through an operation by the user which includes an operation device for adjusting an adjusting object so as to increase or decrease through an operation and for inputting an adjustment change amount proportional to the amount of the operation, and a control device for generating an adjustment control signal for adjusting and controlling the adjusting object in response to a signal in accordance with the operation from the operation device, wherein the control device varies the speed of change in which the adjustment change amount is increased from the speed of change in which the adjustment change amount is decreased, making it easy to perform a sound volume adjustment operation.
摘要:
An image forming system includes one or more image forming apparatuses and an information processing apparatus connected to the one or more image forming apparatuses through a network. The information processing apparatus includes circuitry that registers an image forming job that is received from one of the image forming apparatuses in association with information on a user who has authority to execute the image forming job, acquires information on a location of the user, determines whether or not the user is located at a first area based on the information on the location of the first user to generate a first determination result, and determines an operation to be performed on the image forming job based on the first determination result.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor layer and a substrate. The semiconductor layer constitutes at least a part of a current path, and is made of silicon carbide. The substrate has a first surface supporting the semiconductor layer, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Further, the substrate is made of silicon carbide having a 4H type single-crystal structure. Further, the substrate has a physical property in which a ratio of a peak strength in a wavelength of around 500 nm to a peak strength in a wavelength of around 390 nm is 0.1 or smaller in photoluminescence measurement. In this way, the semiconductor device is obtained to have a low on-resistance.
