A steering input apparatus for a vehicle includes a grip position sensor configured to sense a grip position on a rim of a steering wheel of the vehicle. The steering input apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to, based on a determination that the grip position on the rim of the steering wheel sensed through the grip position sensor is improper for a driving situation of the vehicle, perform a control operation to output grip guide information for the rim of the steering wheel.

A vehicle including a system for intuitive control of a vehicle component is disclosed. The vehicle may include the vehicle component, a sensor unit associated with the vehicle component that is configured to detect a touch command applied to the sensor unit by a user, a controller, and a drive. The controller may be operatively coupled to the sensor unit and the drive may be coupled to the vehicle component. The controller may generate a control signal based on the touch command applied to the sensor unit and may cause the drive to alter a condition of the vehicle component in response to the control signal.

This application provides an optical display and a transport means. The optical display includes a housing, a light source unit, a transmissive-reflective optical element, and a curved mirror. The housing is provided with a first opening. The light source unit is fastened to the housing and is configured to emit imaging light. The transmissive-reflective optical element is fastened to the housing, covers the first opening, and is configured to: transmit and reflect the imaging light. The curved mirror is fastened to the housing and is configured to reflect the imaging light. The imaging light emitted by the light source unit is reflected to the curved mirror through the transmissive-reflective optical element, and the curved mirror transmits the imaging light to the outside of the housing through the transmissive-reflective optical element.

An optical display (303), a seat, and a transport means (1000) are provided. The optical display (303) includes: a display body (32), including: a light outlet part (11), a back part (13), and a connecting part (15), where the light outlet part (11) and the back part (13) are disposed opposite to each other in a first direction of the display body (32), and the connecting side part (15) is connected between the light outlet part (11) and the back part (13); and a pitch mechanism (35), connected to the connecting side part (15), and configured to drive the display body (32) to rotate around a first rotation axis disposed in a second direction, where the second direction of the display body (32) is different from the first direction of the display body (32).

A vehicle seat with touch control function includes a seat armrest, the seat armrest includes an armrest frame, a flexible pad, a flexible touch panel, and a protective cover. The flexible touch panel is elastic, and the flexible touch panel includes a flexible substrate and a carbon nanotube touch function layer to collect touch input from a user. Such flexible touch panel may be installed on or in armrest of any seat in vehicle, enabling control of a display while comfortably seated, having to lean forward is avoided. A vehicle-mounted entertainment system incorporating such touch control system is also provided.

A key fob-control unit pairing device that includes a transceiver to transmit and receive signals, a memory to store a certificate of authenticity (CertVD) associated with the pairing device and a public key (PKVM), and a processor coupled to said transceiver and memory. The processor is to receive a public key (PKKF) from a key fob and associated with the key fob and a certificate of authenticity (CertKF) associated with the key fob, verify the CertKF with the PKVM, and transmit an encrypted PKKF to a control unit.

A vehicle including a plurality of displays disposed at different positions inside the vehicle, each display including a touch screen and a cover layer on a top surface of the touch screen, the cover layer of a corresponding display having a color characteristic based on an interior part of the vehicle having the display such that when the corresponding display is off, the corresponding display appears hidden; a sensor configured to detect a seat location of a person seated in the vehicle; and a controller configured to selectively control the plurality of the displays based on the detect seat location of the person seated in the vehicle.

A processing apparatus includes a distance image acquirer, a moving-object detector, and a danger-level determining unit. The distance image acquirer acquires a distance image containing distance information of each pixel. The moving-object detector detects a moving object from the distance image. The danger-level determining unit determines a danger level of the moving object by use of the distance image, and outputs the danger level to a controller that controls a controlled unit in accordance with the danger level.

A mobile machine includes an operator cabin, a user interface inside the operator cabin and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices are configured to identify an operator in the operator cabin, identify the mobile machine, and retrieve a user profile from a remote location, wherein the user profile is associated with the operator and indicates user interface settings specific to the operator and to the mobile machine. The one or more computing devices are further configured to enable the user interface according to the user profile.

Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.
