Embodiments are disclosed for an example in-vehicle computing system for a vehicle. In some embodiments, a personalized interactive experience within the vehicle is provided responsive to identification of a user in the vehicle. The user may be identified based on biometric data detection, which may include eye tracking, pupil monitoring, and head tracking in some examples. Features of the in-vehicle computing system may be selectively provided based on the identified user and/or learned data relating to the user and/or conditions of the vehicle.

A surroundings monitoring system for a work machine includes a display device in a cabin of the work machine, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of the surroundings of the work machine, and a processor configured to generate a surrounding image of the work machine and to cause a monitoring image to be displayed on the display device. The monitoring image includes a work machine image and the surrounding image placed along the periphery of the work machine image. The processor is configured to cause a magnified monitoring image to be displayed on the display device. The magnified monitoring image magnifies a partial area of the surrounding image in the monitoring image. The partial area is centered on a position closer to a predetermined target object included in the surrounding image than to the work machine image and includes the target object.

A first user control interface receives an input. A controller executes control determined by an input via the first user control interface. A housing is capable of housing a recording medium. An acquisition interface acquires housing information related to whether the recording medium is housed in the housing. The controller disenables the input via the first user control interface when the housing information acquired by the acquisition interface indicates that the recording medium is housed.

Systems and methods are provided for using video/still images captured by continuously recording optical sensors mounted on waste collection vehicles used in in the waste collection, disposal and recycling industry for operational and customer service related purposes. Optical sensors are integrated into the in-cab monitor as well as the onboard computer, digital video recorder and other external devices.

Provided is an input unit to which input signals are inputted, the input signals including signals indicating operating states of switches used for operating the electronic mirror and used for selecting a display mode from among the plurality of display modes to be displayed by the electronic mirror; a storage unit that together with prioritizing and storing each of a plurality of display modes in a hierarchical structure, stores mode setting conditions that are conditions for setting each display mode; a determination unit for determining whether or not the mode setting conditions are satisfied for each of the plurality of display modes based on the input signals; and a setting unit that, of the plurality of display modes, sets a display mode from among the display modes for which the mode setting conditions are satisfied, as a display mode to be displayed on the electronic mirror.

A recording/reproducing device includes a captured data acquisition unit that acquires captured data, an event detection unit that detects occurrence of an event on a movable object, a recording control unit, a display unit that displays a video contained in event recording data, a line-of-sight detection unit, and a reproduction control unit. The recording control unit stores, as event recording data, the captured data for a predetermined period from at least part of the captured data on the basis of detection of an event. The line-of-sight detection unit detects that a user's line of sight is pointing towards the display unit. The reproduction control unit starts reproduction of the event recording data when it is detected that the user's line of sight is pointing towards the display unit within a predetermined period after detection of the event.

A rearward camera of a vehicle electronic mirror system images a rearward view of a vehicle, and a lateral rearward camera unit images each of right and left lateral rearward views of the vehicle. A control device compresses at least one of a rearward view picture after imaging by the rearward camera and right and left lateral rearward view pictures after imaging by the lateral rearward camera unit, at least in a vehicle-width direction, and performs display on an inner mirror display. The control device changes the compression ratio of the picture in the control device, depending on at least one of a state and peripheral situation of the vehicle. Accordingly, when a vehicle rearward side including lateral rearward sides contains a site requiring an easy distance-sense grasp, it is possible to easily grasp distance sense by decreasing the compression ratio of the picture corresponding to the site.

There is provided an electronic mirror system including: a measuring section that a measures a brightness of a vehicle exterior; an imaging section that captures images of rear lateral sides of a vehicle; a display section; an operation section; and a display control section that, in a case in which the brightness measured by the measuring section is less than or equal to a set threshold value, and the vehicle is operated by the operation section so as to travel rearward, switches the imaging range of the imaging section to the second imaging range, and makes a luminous intensity of a dark portion, which is a portion within the display surface of an image displayed on the display surface and whose luminous intensity is lower than a set luminous intensity, be higher than a luminous intensity of the dark portion before the vehicle travels rearward.

An information distribution system obtains event information such as image data about an event in the past or future using a collection server or a creation server, and stores the obtained event information in a storage server. The event information such as the image data is obtained with association to a location of the event and stored. The vehicle includes an image display system. An occupant wears a wearable device which is a display unit. When the location of an event is within the field of view of the occupant, the event image is displayed through the wearable device based on the event information such as the image data.

A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle with visualization of an ambient environment comprises generating a mirror image signal corresponding to a field of view of a traditional driving mirror. A surround image signal corresponding to a field of view of an ambient environment adjacent the vehicle is generated. A vehicle speed signal is generated. The mirror image signal, the surround image signal, and the vehicle speed signal are received, and at least one of a driver mirror signal and a driver surround signal is responsively produced. A video image corresponding to at least one of the driver mirror signal and the driver surround signal is selectively displayed to the driver. A frame rate of at least one of the mirror image signal and the surround image signal is adjusted by the signal processor responsive to the vehicle speed signal. A drive assist system is also provided.
