| 20100190465 | Terminal apparatus and communication system - A terminal apparatus for communicating with an information center via a network includes: a memory for storing current and new connection destination information when the apparatus receives the new connection destination information from the center; a first trial element for trying communication connection to the center based on the new connection destination information after the center switches from the current connection destination information to the new connection destination information; and a second trial element for trying communication connection to the center based on the current connection destination information when the first trial element fails to perform the communication connection. The memory maintains to store the current connection destination information until the first connection trial element succeeds to perform the communication connection. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100225462 | In-Vehicle emergency report apparatus - In an emergency report apparatus in a vehicle, even though a power switch is turned into an OFF state, an execution enabled state of an emergency report process is maintained when an occupant is determined to be in the vehicle. Therefore, even when a necessity of executing an emergency report process arises after the power switch is turned into the OFF state, it is unnecessary to turn the power switch into the ON state, thereby improving the usability. In addition, after the power switch is turned into the OFF state, an execution disabled state is designated when the occupant is determined to be not in the vehicle. Such an execution disabled state restricts the electric power supply from an in-vehicle battery, thereby reducing the power consumption and helping prevent the battery from running out. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110193695 | In-vehicle emergency report apparatus - When determining a collision possibility of a vehicle while an emergency report is not being executed, an in-vehicle emergency report apparatus secures a wireless communications resource by one of the following: (i) Rejecting a connection request for connecting a wireless communications link from a navigation system to a wireless communications device in respect of another use other than an emergency report; (ii) Disconnecting the wireless communications link connected by the wireless communications device according to a connection request from the navigation system in respect of another use other than an emergency report; (iii) Notifying the navigation system of prohibition of connecting the wireless communications link by the wireless communications device in another use other than an emergency report; and (iv) Restricting a connection band of the wireless communications link in the wireless communications device in respect of another use other than an emergency report from the navigation system. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110193721 | In-vehicle communication apparatus - An in-vehicle communication apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a wireless communication device; a vehicle stop state determination section configured to determine whether a vehicle is in a stop state or a not-stop state; a connectibility determination section configured to determine whether wireless communication between the wireless communication device and the mobile communication network is possible or impossible; and a control section configured to cause a notification device to notify notice information when the vehicle is determined to be in the stop state and when the wireless communication is determined to be impossible. The notice information indicates that position of the vehicle in the stop state is within an area where the wireless communication is impossible. | 08-11-2011 |
