A method of controlling a vehicle uses a detachable knob. The method includes detecting whether the detachable knob is attached to a first display of an audio video navigation (AVN) system. The first display includes a number of regions. Information on a controlled function corresponding to one of the regions to which the detachable knob is attached is transmitted from the AVN system to the detachable knob. A first user interface corresponding to the information the controlled function is output on a second display of the detachable knob. Result information according to an operation of the detachable knob is transmitted from the detachable knob to the AVN system. The controlled function is controlled based on the result information in the AVN system.

Provided is a vehicle including a vehicle communicator configured to receive image information of a home device and position information derived on the basis of a signal transmitted by the home device, a display configured to display an image on the basis of the image information, and a vehicle controller configured to identify a selection area of the home device on the image on the basis of the image information and the position information, wherein the display shows the identified selection area.

A traffic information providing device according to an embodiment includes: a communication unit that receives driving information from a plurality of vehicles; and a controller that detects vehicles having danger of a collision at an intersection area from the plurality of vehicles on the basis of the received driving information, creates traffic information for the detected vehicles having danger of a collision to avoid a collision of the vehicles having danger of a collision, and controls the communication unit to transmit the created traffic information to the vehicles having danger of a collision before entering the intersection area.

A vehicle infotainment system for performing a large file transfer (SATA), music (USB), phone projection (CarPlay/Android Auto/MirrorLink), a modem (USB) and a phone mirroring (MHL) function using a millimeter wave short-range communication method in a band of 30 GHz to 300 GHz for a link between the vehicle infotainment system and a smartphone.

The invention relates to the transmission of multimedia data, which is to be output, from a computer device to a vehicle multimedia device. The vehicle multimedia device has a control device which is designed to determine a piece of vehicle status information in order to transmit said information to the computer device. On the basis of the vehicle status information, the computer device generates release data which determines to what extent the multimedia data is to be output. The computer device transmits the multimedia data and the release data to the vehicle multimedia device, which multimedia device outputs, by means of an output device, the maximum multimedia data to the extent defined by the release data.

A method for controlling a display of a vehicle infotainment system may include: establishing, by a controller of the vehicle infotainment system, a wireless communication session with a first user device; receiving, by the controller, an indication of a representative color from the first user device via the established wireless communication session; and controlling, by the controller, the vehicle infotainment system such that a display screen of a display device of the vehicle infotainment system displays the representative color.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a display of a vehicle and an electronic device therefor, the method including acquiring display configuration information related to multiple displays in a vehicle, identifying an access right to access a target display which is at least two of the multiple displays, based on the display configuration information, acquiring first source information, generating second source information to be displayed on the target display, from the first source information based on the access right, and controlling to transmit the second source information to the target display.

An electronic device and a method are described. The electronic device is adapted to be installed on a handlebar of a vehicle, the electronic device comprising: a processor; a communication module; a display comprising a halo-shaped display; a memory for storing therein executable instructions, the instructions upon being processed by the processor, causing the electronic device to: receive, via the communication module, navigational data from a mobile device, the navigational data being associated with a circular visual signal indication, the circular visual signal indication being indicative of at least one of (i) an upcoming directional instruction and (ii) a distance between a current location and an upcoming location associated with the upcoming directional instruction; and, cause to display, on the halo-shaped display, of the circular visual signal indication.

A method for displaying in a transportation vehicle braking operations of transportation vehicles driving ahead wherein the transportation vehicles driving ahead are detected; data are collected on the acceleration of the transportation vehicles driving ahead; and, from the data on the acceleration, first transportation vehicles driving ahead with a first acceleration are determined, the first acceleration being a negative acceleration, the magnitude of which is greater than or equal to a specified threshold value. On a display area, first graphical objects are generated, each first transportation vehicle driving ahead being assigned a first graphical object which indicates that the first transportation vehicle driving ahead assigned to the first graphical object has the first acceleration. Also disclosed is a device for displaying accelerations of transportation vehicles driving ahead in a transportation vehicle.

A method to determine a function and status of a human machine interface, HMI, of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor device of a computing system, a captured image of at least one mechanically actuatable HMI of the vehicle. The method includes determining a target mechanically actuatable HMI of the vehicle in the captured image. The method includes obtaining HMI information about the target mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes determining, from the vehicle, a current mechanical actuation status of the target mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes generating an augmented reality image having the HMI information and the current mechanical actuation status of the mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes sending the augmented reality image to a display device.
