AGENT DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING AGENT DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An agent device includes: an agent functional unit configured to provide a service including an output of a response to a voice to an outputter in response to a speech of an occupant of a vehicle; and a display controller configured to cause a display provided in the vehicle to display an animation regarding an agent corresponding to the agent functional unit. The display controller moves the animation between a first display area included in the display and a second display area of which a position is different from a position of the first display area in the vehicle in response to an instruction from the occupant.
AGENT DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AGENT DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An agent device includes: a plurality of agent function units, each of the plurality of agent function units being configured to provide services including outputting a response to an output unit in response to an utterance of an occupant of a vehicle; a recognizer configured to recognize a request included in the occupant's utterance; and an agent selector configured to output a request recognized by the recognizer to the plurality of agent function units and select an agent function unit which outputs a response to the occupant's utterance to the output unit among the plurality of agent function units on the basis of the result of a response of each of the plurality of agent function units.
Presentation to user of indication of object at which another person is looking
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input regarding an object at which one person is looking and to present, to another person via the display, a graphical indication regarding the object.
Systems and methods for providing an interactive user interface using a film and projector
The present disclosure relates to interactive projection systems. In one implementation, an interactive projection system for a vehicle window may include a film having a plurality of sensors embedded therein, the plurality of sensors configured to detect local pressure disturbance on the film; a projector configured to project a user interface onto the film; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to perform operations, including receiving a detection of a local pressure disturbance from at least one of the plurality of sensors, based on a location of the detected local pressure disturbance, determining a change in the user interface, and transmitting a command to the projector to modify a projected user interface according to the determined change.
Remotely controlling vehicle touchscreen controls
Techniques are described that facilitate remotely interfacing with a vehicle touchscreen. According to an embodiment, a method is provided comprising determining touch controls included in a GUI configured for displaying on a touchscreen of the vehicle, wherein the touch controls provide for controlling functions of the vehicle based on first interaction with the touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen. The method further comprises generating a representation of the GUI for display via an auxiliary display of the auxiliary device, the representation comprising one or more graphical controls corresponding to one or more touch controls of the touch controls, and enabling remote control of one or more functions of the functions of the vehicle by the auxiliary device based on second interaction with the one or more graphical controls as displayed via the auxiliary display.
System and method for a dynamic human machine interface for video conferencing in a vehicle
A system in a vehicle comprising one or more sensors configured to obtain cognitive-load data indicating a cognitive load of an occupant of the vehicle, a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to determine a cognitive load of the occupant utilizing at least the cognitive-load data in response to an initiation of a video conference session, and output on a vehicle display a first user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load exceeds a threshold and a second user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load is below a threshold, wherein the second user interface includes video of the video conference session and the first user interface excludes video of the video conference session.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY DEVICE
The present invention enables recognition of traffic light lamp color in place of or in addition to simply displaying the traffic light lamp color in a color image. A projection unit projects, towards a part subject to projection, display light L that can display an image at a variable display distance. A lamp color information acquisition unit acquires a lamp color of a traffic light which a vehicle will be driving through. A display distance adjustment unit changes the display distance of the image based on the lamp color acquired by an information acquisition unit.
Real-time driver observation and progress monitoring
In an embodiment, movement-data is gathered with one or more sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS receivers, etc.) during a driver's driving session. A score may be calculated for the driving session, and the driver's progress is evaluated by a driver-evaluation system. A driving session report or graphical user-interface (GUI) is generated with a computer processor and displayed at a display device. The displayed report or GUI includes a graphic representing the driver's progress relative to historical data.
VEHICLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, INFORMATION RECEIVING AND SENDING METHODS THEREOF, SERVER AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A vehicle electronic device, an electronic device and information receiving and sending methods thereof, a server and a communication system. The vehicle electronic device includes: a first processing component and a first storage component connected with the first processing component. First password information and vehicle information are stored in the first storage component. The first processing component Is configured to generate a second dynamic password according to the first time for receiving a connection request and the first password information and the vehicle information stored in the first storage component when receiving the connection request including a first dynamic password sent by an external electronic device, and to receive information sent by the external electronic device when determining that the second dynamic password is matched with the first dynamic password.
VEHICULAR AVNT SYSTEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
A vehicular audio video navigation telematics (AVNT) system includes: an input device configured to receive user input for executing a plurality of AVNT function menus; a storage device configured to index and store the AVNT function menus, a display configured to display a home screen menu including the AVNT function menus; and a controller configured to control the storage device and the display. The controller collects an execution count of each of the AVNT function menus based on the user input, indexes and stores the AVNT function menus in the storage device based on the collected execution count of each of the AVNT function menus, resets the home screen menu based on high-order menus of stored indices, and controls the display to display the reset home screen menu.
