Present application discloses display apparatus including: display panel having display surface to display image; and overlaid member overlaid on display surface. Overlaid member partitions display surface into inner region at least partially surrounded by overlaid member, and outer region situated outside overlaid member. Image contains inner and outer images displayed in inner and outer regions. Display panel includes signal generator for generating first image signal for changing content of the inner image displayed in inner region in response to first switching signal outputted from first switch. Signal generator generates second image signal for changing content of the outer image displayed in outer region in response to second switching signal outputted from second switch which is more distant from steering wheel than first switch.

An object is to provide a display system with a novel structure and a vehicle. The display system includes a display and a control IC. The control IC includes a frame memory, an arithmetic circuit, and a memory circuit. The display has a curved display surface. The frame memory has a function of holding first image data dedicated to displaying an image on a flat surface. The memory circuit has a function of storing shape data on the display. The arithmetic circuit has a function of converting first coordinates of the curved display surface into second coordinates of the flat surface included in the first image data, by performing arithmetic operation in accordance with the shape data. The arithmetic circuit has a function of outputting the first image data stored in the frame memory to the display as second image data on the basis of the second coordinates.

Embodiments are described of an apparatus including a computer to which are coupled a user identification device to identify an authorized user, a transceiver to receive and transmit user data between the computer and one or more user data sources associated with the authorized user, a navigation system, and one or more displays coupled to the computer. The computer constructs a timeline for the authorized user based on the user data over a specified time interval, wherein the timeline displays every user event that falls within the specified time interval, and simultaneously display the timeline and a map on one of the one or more displays, wherein the user's current position and the position of at least one user event from the timeline are identified on the map. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A vehicular display device includes an image display device that is arranged in front of a driver in a vehicle and configured to display an image. The image displayed in an information display area of the image display device includes an information image displaying information according to a mode selected out of a plurality of modes, and a menu image in which a plurality of titles corresponding to the respective modes are arranged in a lateral direction of the image and for which switching is made between display and hidden-display. When an operating input to switch the modes is made while the menu image is hidden, the image display device displays the menu image, and performs animation display that changes a title displayed as active out of the titles from a title corresponding to a mode before change to a title corresponding to a mode after the change.

An electronic device attachable to a vehicle may include an interface, an input device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, and a processor configured to detect that a context related to the vehicle corresponds to a first context based on first information received via the interface, in response to the detection that the context related to the vehicle corresponds to the first context, display a first indication indicating a first function corresponding to the first context from among a plurality of functions of the vehicle, which are controllable by the input device, while displaying the first indication, detect that the context related to the vehicle changed from the first context to a second context based on second information received via the interface, and based on the detection, display a second indication which is changed from the first indication and indicates a second function corresponding to the second context.

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a communication system including a speaker. Based upon a profile of the passenger, the autonomous vehicle can determine that support is to be provided audibly to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. Moreover, the autonomous vehicle can detect occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger based upon the sensor signal output by the sensor system. Responsive to detecting the occurrence of the event, and in accordance with the profile of the passenger, the autonomous vehicle can cause the speaker to output an audible support message. Content of the audible support message is based on the detected event, and the audible support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

Systems and methods for outputting to a vehicle dashboard screen from multiple operating systems are described in this disclosure. The systems and methods use a computing device to host different types of applications in the operating systems. A first of the operating systems runs driving-critical applications, and a second of the operating systems can run non-driving-critical applications. The first operating system has direct access to display hardware on the computing device, and can include security features to prevent it from being compromised. Outputs generated by the non-driving-critical applications in the second operating system are sent to the first operating system, where the outputs are combined with outputs from the driving-critical applications, to create a series of composite images for display on the dashboard screen. Either the first operating system or the second operating system can control the whole dashboard screen based on predetermined configurations.

Systems and methods for selecting a control mode to launch an application in a vehicle are described. For one embodiment, a system for selecting control modes for launching applications in a vehicle with a dashboard screen can include a computing device embedded in the vehicle, the computing device connected to the dashboard screen and a control display; and an operating system installed on the computing device, the operating system running a multi-display controller and one or more applications. The multi-display controller is to receive a request from the control display for launching an application, determine a control mode used to launch the application based on an integration level indicator of the application, and launch the application in the determined control mode. A metabar and a global widget can be created on top of the dashboard screen. The metabar is permanently displayed across the dashboard screen, and can contain environmental and driving-related information. The global widget appears contextually in response to a state change of a system component in the vehicle.

According to one or more aspects, a system for vehicle user interface (UI) management includes an interface component, an operation component, a presentation logic, and a rendering component. The interface component may include a display portion located at a first position and an input portion located at a second position different than the first position. The input portion may receive one or more user inputs and include a touch sensitive portion, a first button, and a second button. The operation component may select one or more modes for a UI based on one or more of the user inputs. The presentation logic may generate one or more objects based on a selected mode and presence information associated with one or more of the user inputs. The rendering component may render one or more of the objects to form a composite image at the display portion.
