Control device, vehicle, image display system, and image display method
A control device includes a controller. The controller detects, as an event, that a target present outside a vehicle has been overlooked by a driver of the vehicle during. The controller controls the outputting of a target image, which is an image including the target overlooked in the detected event, toward the driver.
MEASUREMENT DEVICE, MEASUREMENT METHOD AND PROGRAM
The above measurement device acquires output data from a sensor unit for detecting surrounding feature, and extracts, from the output data, data corresponding to detection result in a predetermined range in a predetermined positional relation with an own position. The predetermined range is determined in accordance with accuracy of the own position. Then, the measurement device executes predetermined processing based on the extracted data.
HAPTIC INFORMATION PROVISION DEVICE
The present invention relates to a haptic information provision device. The haptic information provision device (100) according to the present invention comprises: a receiver (120) for receiving external notification information; a controller (130) for converting the notification information to a haptic signal; and an operation unit (110) for transferring haptic information to a user according to the haptic signal, wherein the operation unit (110) includes a plurality of operation units (110a-110j), the respective operation units (110a-110j) operating in response to different notification information and thus transferring different haptic information to the user.
DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE
A display control device includes: a reception unit that receives an input for designating a first point on a first image, which is displayed on a display screen provided in a vehicle compartment and shows a peripheral environment of a vehicle at a first timing; a display processing unit that displays a first display object at the first point; a specifying unit that specifies a second point at which a first target, which is located at the first point, is located on a second image, which shows the peripheral environment of the vehicle at a second timing after the first timing; and an update unit that displays, along with the second image, the first display object at the second point on the second image.
VEHICULAR DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEM
A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least the driver-side front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant of the vehicle. The camera at least (a) views the driver-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle and (b) views a passenger-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle. The driver of the equipped vehicle is monitored via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera.
DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD
A driving support apparatus that includes a communication device configured to communicate with a vehicle-mounted device installed in a vehicle that is under automatic driving control and a mobile terminal of a user of the vehicle, and a processor configured to send, upon receiving a return request for moving the vehicle to an exit location at which the user has exited the vehicle, from the mobile terminal through the communication device, a return command for moving the vehicle to the exit location to the vehicle-mounted device through the communication device, when a return time required to move the vehicle to the exit location is less than an available return time, the available return time being calculated based on an expected arrival time at which the vehicle is expected to arrive at a destination of a passenger different from the user.
Engine block heater failure detection
A vehicle system includes a sensor that measures an engine block heating characteristic associated with an engine block heater. A processing device is programmed to determine an operating state of the engine block heater based on the engine block heating characteristic measured. A communication device is programmed to transmit a message that includes the operating state of the engine block heater.
SMARTPACK DEVICE FOR A BIKE
Disclosed is a smartpack device detachably attached to chassis of a bike. The bike includes peripheral electrical devices. The smartpack device includes a housing, a separating assembly, a locking unit, plurality of indication units, a battery unit, a door, a computer and a battery unit to power the peripheral electrical devices of the bike, computer and plurality of indication units. The plurality of indication units is configured on the housing to emit light to indicate status of each peripheral electric device of the bike. The door connected to the housing to allow access to the battery. The computer is configured on the housing includes a memory unit to store plurality of modules, a touch display unit to display processed plurality of modules and to receive touch commands from a user to access the plurality of modules and the processing unit to process the plurality of modules and is coupled to the memory unit. The plurality of modules includes a navigation module to display navigation route information on the touch display unit, and a control module controls at least one of plurality of indication units to indicate status of the electrical peripheral devices on receiving commands through touch display unit.
Vehicular video mirror system
A video mirror system suitable for use in a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly mountable at an interior portion of a vehicle and includes a mirror case and a reflective element. A video display device disposed at the mirror case. The video display device is operable to display video images that are viewable by the driver of the vehicle when the interior rearview mirror assembly is mounted at the interior portion of the vehicle. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes an on-screen display controller operable to receive a video signal from a camera and, responsive to receipt of the video signal, the on-screen display controller is operable to generate a video feed to the video display device. The video feed generated by the on-screen display controller may include a graphic overlay.
DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME
A display apparatus, a vehicle including the same, includes a sensor unit configured to acquire vehicle periphery information, and an interface unit configured to acquire vehicle state information. The display apparatus also includes a display unit configured to display a first indicator indicating a target steering direction, a third indicator indicating a current steering state, and a second indicator displayed at a position between the first indicator and the third indicator. The display apparatus also includes a processor configured to determine the target steering direction based on the vehicle state information and the vehicle periphery information.
