A display control device includes a display that is configured to display information, a detector that is configured to detect a partition line for partitioning a lane on a road on which a vehicle is present, and a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display the partition line detected by the detector variably, and the display controller is configured to change a length of the partition line which is displayed by the display on the basis of a detection distance of the detector.

The present specification discloses a method for displaying an AR navigation screen, and an AR navigation system. The method for displaying an AR navigation screen according to the present specification may comprise the steps of: overlapping and displaying images of the surroundings of a vehicle and a plurality of AR images corresponding to the images of the surroundings; generating a window for separately displaying a first area including AR images overlapping at least one of the plurality of AR images; and overlapping and displaying the window and the images of the surroundings. The invention of the present specification has the effect of improving user convenience and promoting safe vehicle operation by using a window when AR images and the like are difficult to recognize due to being overlapped.

A navigation apparatus includes: an own vehicle position calculation unit, a scroll processing unit, and a map drawing unit that display a map image of an own vehicle position and its surroundings as a current-location window at a current-location scale, and when swiping of the screen by a user's finger is detected using a touch panel, display a map image of which display range is moved in response to this swipe operation as a scroll window at a scroll scale; a scale setting unit that changes the current-location scale and the scroll scale in response to pinch-in/out; and a scale determination unit that, when display of the current-location window is instructed by the user and a predetermined condition is satisfied, updates the current-location scale using the scroll scale, and in other cases, maintains the previous current-location scale.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a display of a navigation map. The system may comprise a historical data source device having, for example, a historical data source computer and a database storing historical data associated with one or more of vehicle accident data, traffic data, vehicle volume data, vehicle density data, road characteristic data, or weather data. The system may comprise a map data processing device having a map data processing computer and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the map data processing computer, cause the map data processing device to, for example, determine, based on a location determining device, a location of a vehicle. The map data processing system may determine one or more historical factors based on the location of the vehicle. The map data processing system may receive, from the historical data source device and for the location, historical data associated with the one or more historical factors. Based on the location of the vehicle, one or more real time factors and real time data associated with the one or more real time factors may be calculated. The map data processing system may calculate, using the one or more historical factors and the one or more real time factors, a navigation score for each segment of a route from the location to a destination location. The map data processing system may determine one or more colors for each navigation score and/or generate a display of a navigation map comprising the one or more colors.

Telematics systems and methods are described for generating interactive animated guided user interfaces (GUIs). A telematics cloud platform is configured to receive vehicular telematics data from a telematics device onboard a vehicle. A GUI value compression component determines, based on the vehicular telematics data, a plurality of GUI position values and a plurality of corresponding GUI time values. A geospatial animation app receives the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values. The geospatial animation app implements an interactive animated GUI that renders a plurality of geospatial graphics or graphical routes on a geographic area map via a display device. The geospatial graphics or graphical routes are rendered to have different visual forms based on differences between respective GUI position values and corresponding GUI time values.

Systems and methods are provided herein for presenting information in a vehicle. In one example, a method includes determining a route from a source location to a destination location, obtaining one or more features of the route, augmenting a map of the route with the one or more features to generate an augmented map, and displaying the augmented map on a windshield of the vehicle.

The vehicle navigation device guides a user of a vehicle to a destination. The vehicle navigation device includes a car navigation system that acquires the destination, a head-up display that displays various information, and a body ECU that controls the information displayed on the head-up display based on the destination acquired by the car navigation system. The body ECU is configured to cause, on the assumption that the user alights from the vehicle at a current location, the head-up display to display post-alighting guidance information which is information for guiding the user to the destination regarding, for example, walking.

A vehicle navigation apparatus includes a storage, a second map information acquisition unit, a display, and a display control unit. The storage stores first map information. The second map information acquisition unit acquires second map information. The display displays map data on the basis of at least one of the first map information or the second map information. The display control unit controls the form of displaying the map data on the display in accordance with a predetermined condition. The display control unit causes the map data to be displayed at a greater scale in a case where the map data is displayed on the basis of the second map information than in a case where the map data is displayed on the basis of only the first map information.

Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting crosswalk locations. Crosswalk locations can be detected by determining at least two painted lines on a road surface, and then combining the at least two painted lines on the road surface into a grouping of related elements. The grouping of related elements can be classified into a crosswalk (or in some embodiments a type of crosswalk) based on attributes of the grouping of related elements, where the attributes of the grouping of the elements includes a distance between the at least two painted lines, and an orientation of the grouping of related elements on the road surface.

Systems and methods for communicating information related to a wearable device are disclosed. Exemplary information includes audio information.
