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.

Because in a server for navigation that causes a navigation device mounted in a moving object to provide guidance on a moving route and display map data on the basis of the map data and the position of the moving object, from a recognition result of a user's utterance and position information, evaluation information about a point or is acquired automatically, an evaluation about the point can be left automatically and safely without requiring the user's special operation. Further, by adding the evaluation information to map data and displaying this map data at the time of use, the navigation system enables the user to revisit a point through which the user desires to pass once again, bypass a point through which the user desires to never pass again, and so on without requiring the user's work of consciously memorizing the impression about each point and so on.

A driver assistance device mounted on a vehicle includes a communication unit; an output unit; an input unit configured to detect user input; and a control unit configured to perform driver assistance with use of a point on a map as a destination. The control unit is configured to i) execute a connection process to connect the driver assistance device to a terminal device wirelessly via the communication unit, ii) output identification information on the terminal device as an image or a voice via the output unit after the driver assistance device is wirelessly connected to the terminal device, and iii) execute a setting process to set the point determined by the terminal device as the destination for the driver assistance in a case where the control unit detects specified user input via the input unit after outputting the identification information on the terminal device.

A method and system for presenting and manipulating a map user interface include presenting the map user interface in a vehicle tracking mode. The method and system also include changing the map user interface from the vehicle tracking mode to an exploration mode. The method and system additionally include determining a first gesture on the touchpad to pan a scalable map presented on the map user interface at a first speed. The method and system further include determining a second gesture on the touchpad to pan the scalable map presented on the map user interface at a second speed which is faster than the first speed.

Embodiments are directed to a user interface for superimposingly displaying, on a map, a plurality of travel route patterns reflecting tendencies of movements of a moving object and a new travel route predicted using the plurality of travel route patterns. The plurality of travel route patterns being extracted in advance by analyzing traveling history data of the moving object and being displayed in different manners, according to a prediction probability between each of the plurality of travel route patterns and the new travel route.

Methods, systems, user interfaces, media, and devices provide a geographically-based graphical user interface (GUI) suited to single-handed operation of a device. The method and system provide for causing display of a GUI including map data displayed in a first view; receiving input comprising at least one input point; determining first and second characteristics of the input; processing, when the first characteristic fulfils a first operational mode criterion, the input according to a first operational mode and causing display of the map data in a second view, the second view being based on the second characteristic of the input; and processing, when the first characteristic of the input fulfils a second operational mode criterion, the input according to a second operational mode, and causing display of the map data in a third view, the third view being based on the second characteristic of the input.

An interactive vehicle navigation system for previewing turns for a user using animations that show realistic, three-dimensional views of the locale of turns. The previews show a user how the locale of the turns will appear as the instructions are followed. A vantage of the preview is adjusted to promote clear views of the locale. User controls enable a driver to view previews at times that are safe and convenient for the driver and are located in positions that promote driver convenience and safety.

A system is disclosed for managing waste services by a service vehicle. The system may have a locating device configured to generate a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle, a sensor configured to generate a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle, an input device, and a processing unit in communication with the locating device, the sensor, and the input device. The processing unit may be configured to make a determination that the service vehicle has made a plurality of service stops based on the location and service signals, and to automatically generate at least one service route including the plurality of service stops. The processing unit may also be configured to display the at least one service route and the plurality of service stops on a map in at least one graphical user interface on the input device.

A navigation screen generator displays only icons of objects of an object category set as “DISPLAY” in an icon presentation control table on a map image. If a touch occurs at a position on the map image of the navigation screen where no icon is displayed, a controller sets the object category of the object corresponding to the touch position as “DISPLAY” in an icon presentation control table. Then, icons of the objects having the same object category as that of the object corresponding to touch position are displayed on the map image of the navigation screen.

A vehicle display control device is provided for displaying an operation screen with a display device where operation buttons are arranged on the operation screen and it is predetermined for each operation button whether a function is to be validated or invalidated in accordance with how large a load on a driver is. The vehicle display control device includes a valid operation color acquisition unit and a first display unit. The valid operation color acquisition unit uses load level colors as gradually different colors predetermined to correspond to magnitudes of the load on the driver, and acquires valid operation colors as the load level colors that correspond to the loads on the driver when the operation buttons are to be validated. The first display unit displays colors of the operation buttons arranged on the operation screen based on the valid operation colors.
