A device for control and/or command of a visual or thermal comfort element or security element of a building includes a display screen, and an electronic control unit provided with a communication module arranged so as to receive data, according to a wireless communication protocol, originating from a complementary communication module of a central entity arranged so as to control and/or command the at least one visual or thermal comfort element or security element. The central entity is arranged to employ and transmit to the electronic control unit representative data relating to the visual or thermal comfort to electrical consumption or to the security of the building. The electronic control unit generates a display configuration based on at least one datum of content and at least one display descriptive datum defining the arrangement of a display of the at least one datum of content.

The present disclosure generally relates to managing cruise control settings. A cruise control indicator is displayed at a location that corresponds to a cruise control speed concurrently with a textual indication of the cruise control speed. In response to receiving input, the textual indication ceases to be displayed after a non-zero duration while the cruise control indicator continues to be displayed.

A vehicular display apparatus is provided. The vehicular display apparatus includes a driving device installed in a housing, a display module configured to move to an inner portion or an outer portion of the housing, based on a mechanical operation of the driving device, and a controller unit configured to control the mechanical operation of the driving device. The driving device includes a gear configured to move the display module to the inner portion or the outer portion of the housing and a light emitting sensor and a light receiving sensor facing each other with the gear therebetween. The light receiving sensor senses an optical signal of the light emitting sensor passing through a region between gear teeth of the gear, and the controller unit counts the number of gear teeth of the gear passing through a region between the light emitting sensor and the light receiving sensor on a basis of a sensing result of the light receiving sensor and controls movement of the display module, based on the counted number of gear teeth.

This display device is provided with a display unit and a control unit. The display unit projects and reflects, onto a light-transmitting display medium, light expressing an image, to allow the image to be viewed, as a virtual image, by a user. The control unit performs first stereoscopic display processing for causing light respectively expressing a left-eye image and a right-eye image of an object to be displayed, to be projected in the display unit. As a result of this processing, the object to be displayed can be stereoscopically viewed in a three-dimensional image space by the user.

A display obscuration tool for identifying one or more obscured zones within a display, such as surface areas of the display blocked from view. The tool may include a spatial detection module configured for determining a relative positioning between a display onboard a vehicle, a steering wheel or other implement onboard the vehicle, and a driver, and a gaze detection module configured for determining a field of view for the driver. The tool may further include an obscuration module configured for identifying one or more obscured zones based at least in part on the relative positioning and the field of view.

There is provided a system (200) and method (400) of displaying video content. In a method (400) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a native aspect ratio of the video content is determined (404) and an optimized viewing format is selected (406) from a plurality of viewing formats based at least in part on the native aspect ratio of the video content. The video content is displayed (408) in the optimized viewing format.

A vehicle display device is configured to superpose a background layer on a first layer for displaying map and/or periphery information, and superpose a layer for displaying information other than the map information and the vehicle periphery information on the background layer. In accordance with a user operation, the display is switched from a transparent background layer where the user can see the information displayed on the first layer to an opaque background layer where the user cannot see the information displayed on the first layer. While switching between the transparent background layer to the opaque background layer, a visual effect is not added to show the switching. After the switch, a transmittance of the background layer is changed and a visual effect is not added to show the switching of the background layer.

A display system includes a display, a plurality of speakers, and a control device that controls the display and the speakers. The display is configured to be able to simultaneously display video of main content and video of sub-content. The speakers are configured to output sound of the main content. The control device is configured to stop output of sound from a speaker on a side closer to the sub-content when video of the sub-content is desired to attract a user.

The information display apparatus has a housing with an opening and a transparent cover formed on the opening, the housing includes image-light generating means configured to generate image light that displays the image information and an optical system configured to allow a driver of the vehicle to recognize image information based on the image light from the image-light generating means as a virtual image in front of the windshield. When S-polarized light on the windshield is assumed to be a first polarized wave while polarized light that orthogonally crosses the S-polarized light in a polarizing direction is assumed to be a second polarized wave, the image-light generating means is configured to generate the image light made of the first polarized wave, and a transmittance/reflectance control means blocks a part of the first polarized wave and the second polarized wave of incident external light entering the housing from the opening.

An image capture device is mounted in a vehicle. The image capture device includes: an image capture unit; and a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for each region of the image capture unit each having a plurality of pixels, or for each pixel, based upon at least one of a state exterior to the vehicle and a state of the vehicle.
