20080198335 | Visible laser beam projector - A visible laser beam projector is arranged to provide information to passengers in a vehicle compartment by projecting a visible laser beam onto a portion in the compartment. The visible laser beam projector is arranged in front of an inner mirror of the compartment and projects the visible laser beam to only a front end portion on the upper surface of an instrument panel of the compartment. Thus, the visible laser beam is allowed to be projected in high intensity while suppressing the probability of its adverse effect on eyes of passengers in the compartment. | 08-21-2008 |

20100295670 | INTERIOR INFORMATION DISPLAY APPARATUS AND LIGHT IRRADIATION APPARATUS USED FOR THE SAME - Information is displayed by irradiating a visible light on a specific position based on at least one of vehicle state information, vehicle surrounding information, and vehicle interior information. For example, the visible light is irradiated on a target switch based on signals indicating an on/off state of a headlamp operation switch and an on/off state of a key switch. A user | 11-25-2010 |
20110128139 | Information presentation apparatus - An information presentation apparatus includes an action determination section to execute a determination as to whether a driver becomes aware of an attention-seeking display sign or an alarm display sign, and an information presentation control circuit to cause a display device to perform a display changeover to change a display mode of an attention-seeking display sign or alarm display sign into an attenuation display mode based on an affirmative result from the determination by the action determination section. Herein, the action determination section executes the above determination based on reference information such as driver action confirmation information or vehicle information, which is a signal generated by a switch manipulation or a driving operation of the driver when noticing the attention-seeking display sign or alarm display sign displayed in the display device. | 06-02-2011 |
20110210839 | Visible in-vehicle laser beam projector providing variable projection region as function of vehicle speed - A projector projects a visible laser beam onto a region of a vehicle compartment. A control unit controls a direction of projecting the visible laser beam to provide information to at least one occupant in the compartment. The control unit expands the region of an object to which the visible laser beam is projected when the seatbelt has been fastened. | 09-01-2011 |

20090281816 | ACCOUNT ABUSE DETECTION OR PREVENTION DEVICE, DATA COLLECTION DEVICE, AND ACCOUNT ABUSE DETECTION OR PREVENTION PROGRAM - An account abuse detection or prevention device, a data collection device, and an account abuse detection or prevention program, which are capable of promptly detecting or preventing abuse of an account. | 11-12-2009 |
20100204958 | EQUIPMENT MONITORING DEVICE AND REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM - An equipment monitoring device for monitoring equipment and transmitting an operational status of the equipment to a remote monitoring device that is provided in a remote location relative to the equipment includes an anomaly detection unit, an anomaly identifying unit and an anomaly reporting unit. The anomaly detecting unit is configured to detect an anomaly that occurs in the equipment. The anomaly identifying unit is configured to identify the anomaly based on at least one of an anomaly category and an anomaly level. The an anomaly reporting unit is configured to issue an anomaly report of the anomaly to the remote monitoring based on identification of the anomaly by the anomaly identifying unit. | 08-12-2010 |
20100250453 | REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM - A remote monitoring system includes an operating data receiving device, a failure report transmitting section, a new failure determining section, a repair progress data generating section and a repair progress updating section. The operating data receiving device receives failure data from a facility device or a management device. The failure report transmitting section transmits a failure report to a concerned party. The new failure determining section determines whether or not the failure data are new. The repair progress data generating section generates repair progress data using repair progress of the failure as a first state when the failure data are new. The repair progress updating section is capable of updating the repair progress of the repair progress data from the first state to a second state. The failure report transmitting section stops transmission of the failure report when the repair progress is the second state. | 09-30-2010 |
20100250724 | DEVICE FOR EQUIPMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, EQUIPEMENT APPARATUS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EQUIPMENT APPARATUS AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A management apparatus is configured to manage plural equipment apparatuses through a network.
