In an agent system, a first server device transmits information associated with a speech of a first user acquired from a first terminal device to a second server device, and the second server device transmits information associated with the speech of the first user acquired from the first server device to a second terminal device or an on-vehicle agent device on the basis of existence of a second user recognized by the second terminal device or the on-vehicle agent device.

The present disclosure is generally related to a data processing system to validate vehicular functions in a voice activated computer network environment. The data processing system can improve the efficiency of the network by discarding action data structures and requests that invalid prior to their transmission across the network. The system can invalidate requests by comparing attributes of a vehicular state to attributes of a request state.

A vehicle display configuration system and method employs a display, an eye tracker and a controller. The eye tracker is configured to track eye movement of a user viewing the display. The controller is configured to control the display to sequentially display sets of a plurality of images for comparison and selection by the user, to receive selection information representing a respective selected image from each of the sets being displayed on the display as selected by the user, to analyze eye tracker eye movement information received from the eye tracker representing eye movement of the user while the user is viewing each of the sets being displayed on the display, and to designate a vehicle display image based on the selection information and a result of the analysis of the eye movement information.

An operating system includes a display device having at least two planar display regions, which are arranged one behind the other in a viewing direction of an operator and extend transversely to the viewing direction. The operating system can be used to control a plurality of apparatuses of a vehicle.

An agent device is equipped with a plurality of agent controllers which provide a service including causing an output device to output a response of voice in accordance with an utterance of an occupant of a vehicle, in which a first agent controller included in the plurality of agent controllers provides an agent controller different from the first agent controller with first service information on the service to be provided to the occupant.

A sound output and text display device for a vehicle, including: an output unit that, in a case in which sound to be output inside the vehicle has been decided, outputs the sound inside the vehicle; and a display unit that displays text corresponding to the sound on a windshield in accordance with a state of use of the vehicle.

Implementations relate to interactions, over a wireless communication modality, between an automated assistant of an automobile computer system, and separate client device(s). In some of those implementations, the client device(s) can be paired with the automobile computer system, and the client device(s) and the automobile computer system can include separate instances of an automated assistant, which can be associated with different user accounts. In some additional or alternative implementations, particular actions to be performed by a local application of a client device can be advanced via user interaction with the automobile automated assistant, despite a counterpart to the local application not being installed directly on automobile computer system. For example, despite an automobile computer system not having a third-party messaging application installed, the automobile automated assistant can access requested actions to be performed by the third-party messaging application in order to further a requested action. The automobile computer system can transmit, via the wireless communication modality, content to cause the third-party application to further the requested action.

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.

A driving support method for a vehicle includes: acquiring a sound of a sound source placed outside the vehicle; and displaying, on a display portion, driving support information corresponding to an utterance content of the sound, the utterance content of the sound being recognized by a sound recognition process, in a display mode suggesting a relative position of the sound source from the vehicle, the relative position being specified based on the sound.

A vehicle includes a rolling chassis structure and a working component coupled to the rolling chassis structure. The rolling chassis structure includes a chassis, a non-working component, and a control interface. The non-working component is coupled to the chassis and is configured to facilitate transit operations for the rolling chassis structure. The control interface is disposed in a cab area of the chassis. The control interface is communicably coupled to the non-working component and is configured to control operation of the non-working component. The working component is configured to move relative to the chassis and is communicably coupled to the control interface. The control interface is configured to control movement of the working component.
