The invention relates to a decorative system based on providing very thin flexible screens on the inner surface of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, e.g. on the dashboard, central column, doors, etc., which screens adapt to the appearance of the vehicle and are touch sensitive, said screens being connected to control software such that they can display different contents, e.g. images, information relating to the vehicle, or simply imitate different types of vehicle finishes or materials.

A method for controlling an in-vehicle user interface includes monitoring a driving mode of a vehicle, determining, in response to the driving mode, whether to provide at least one window as an input/output module allowing a driver or a passenger to interact with at least one of a computing device, a camera, and a multimedia device provided in, or engaged with, the vehicle, and outputting a notification through the window in response to a determination result.

A driving assistance device that performs a notification process for notifying a driver of a risk of a collision with a preceding vehicle in cooperation with a notification device includes: an inter-vehicular distance acquisition section that successively acquires an inter-vehicular distance; a first index calculator that calculates a first risk index indicating a degree of the risk of the collision based on a traveling speed and the inter-vehicular distance; a second index calculator that successively calculates a second risk index based on a relative speed between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle; a notification level determination section that successively determines a notification level indicating a strength of notification for notifying the risk of the collision, based on the first risk index and the second risk index; and a notification processor that performs the notification process in a notification mode corresponding to the notification level.

A method of displaying awareness lines in a camera monitor system for a vehicle includes detecting an adjacent lane marker to the vehicle, calculating an awareness line that is perpendicular to the adjacent lane marker, and displaying the awareness line in relation to a trailer end location.

The present disclosure relates to in-vehicle display control methods and apparatuses. In a first transmission state, for example, when reception of first image data is normal, obtaining the first image data, and sending third image data corresponding to the first image data to a display. In a second transmission state, for example, when reception of the first image data is abnormal, obtaining second image data, for example, pre-stored image data corresponding to a vehicle status, and sending fourth image data corresponding to the second image data to the display. The first image data and the second image data indicate vehicle status data.

An information provision device, information provision method, and a non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the information provision method. Each of the information provision device and the information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member to display a for-driver information image indicating for-driver information to be provided to a driver of a mobile object in a prescribed display area, and displaying at a first point where a normal for-driver information image is displayed a priority for-driver information image in place of the normal for-driver information image, where the displaying includes displaying the normal for-driver information image at a second point different from the first point for at least some of a period during which the priority for-driver information image is displayed at the first point.

A simulator for testing a capacity of an infant to travel includes a car body, a back seat in the car body, a base of a car seat assembly secured to the back seat, an infant seat secured to the base, a plurality of sensors, a plurality of force applying actuators, and a control. One set of sensors in plurality of sensors may monitor parameters for a subject positioned in the infant including oxygen saturation, pulse, and respiratory rate. Another set of the plurality of sensors may monitor a position of the infant seat relative to the base and the subject relative to the infant seat. The control is configured to operate the plurality of force applying actuators to apply lateral, vertical, and linear forces to the back seat, the base, and the infant seat to simulate car travel relative to the subject.

An image display system for a work machine including working equipment having a working tool and a turning body to which the working equipment is attached, includes: a position detector detecting at least one of an attitude and a position of the working equipment; a distance detector obtaining information on a distance from the work machine to a work target; and a processing device that generates, by using information on a position of the working tool obtained by the position detector and information on a position of the work target obtained from the information on the distance obtained by the distance detector, a first image including a portion corresponding to a part of the working tool and extending along a turning direction of the turning body, on the work target opposed to the working tool, and displays the first image on the display device.

An example locating assembly includes, among other things, a display within an electrified vehicle, a vehicle symbol presented on the display, and a charge port symbol presented on the display. The charge port symbol is positioned relative to the vehicle symbol to indicate a position of a charge port. An example locating method includes displaying a vehicle symbol and a charge port symbol on a display of an electrified vehicle. The charge port symbol is positioned relative to the vehicle symbol to indicate a position of a charge port.

A device for a motor vehicle for displaying information includes an instrument panel and an information device configured to display information at various locations on the instrument panel so as to be visible to a driver of the motor vehicle. The device also includes a control device which is configured to receive information specifications that are relevant to vehicle management and result from at least one of: a position of the vehicle, a position of the vehicle relative to a roadway, a position of the vehicle relative to a driving lane, and a position of road users in a surrounding of the vehicle. The control device also determines a display location on the instrument panel based on the information specifications, and displays an item of information on the instrument panel at the determined display location.
