A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved user interface(s) that intuitively convey information via a dynamic wind indicator. Embodiments include a dynamic wind indicator that is specially configured to visually indicate data value(s) via one or more visual properties of the dynamic wind indicator. As updated data is received, the dynamic wind indicator is updated in real-time to visually indicate the most up-to-date data value(s), for example to intuitively visually indicate effects of wind on an aerial vehicle. Some example embodiments receive wind movement data including wind speed data and wind directionality data. Some such example embodiments cause rendering of a user interface including a dynamic wind indicator that [1] visually indicates a direction of a 3D environment based on the wind directionality data, and [2] has at least one visual property configured based on the wind speed data.

When an automatic transmission shift start condition is satisfied, an electronic control unit calculates a meter target rotational speed of an engine by adding a correction amount corresponding to the state of a torque converter to a turbine rotational speed corresponding to a post-shift gear stage, and makes a meter display rotational speed follow after the meter target rotational speed, fixes the correction amount to a value obtained at the time of shift start determination, when immobilization conditions including that the shift start condition for a downshift is satisfied and that the engine is driven are satisfied. When actual rotational speed display conditions are satisfied, it can be predicted that differences between an engine rotational speed and a turbine rotational speed before and after shifting are large, and so the electronic control unit sets a current engine rotational speed as the meter target rotational speed or ends the control.

A sound volume is adjusted in accordance with a volume adjustment coefficient ka calculated in accordance with a coefficient map with respect to an accelerator opening angle APO and another volume adjustment coefficient kv calculated in accordance with the coefficient map with respect to a vehicle speed V. The coefficient map with respect to vehicle speed V is set such that, as accelerator opening angle APO becomes higher, volume adjustment coefficient ka becomes larger in a sigmoid configuration. In addition, the coefficient map with respect to accelerator opening angle APO is set such that, as vehicle speed V becomes higher, volume adjustment coefficient kv becomes smaller in the sigmoid configuration.
