An electronic apparatus mounted on a vehicle is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an output unit configured to output driving information on the vehicle, a sensor configured to sense a gaze of a user in the vehicle, and a processor configured to, in response to a position on a plane of the sensed gaze being included in a specific region, control the output unit to output the driving information.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle display device, configured to be mounted on a sun visor frame, including: a controller for receiving surrounding images, labeling a reference object in the surrounding images, and determining a first image to be displayed from the surrounding images according to a comparison of the reference object and a real object corresponding to the reference object; a non-transparent display screen for displaying the first image in a driver's sightline, wherein the non-transparent display screen is connected to the controller; and a plurality of image acquisition modules including a front camera, two side view cameras, and a rear view camera for capturing front images, left-side images, right-side images, and rear images of a vehicle.

A rearview display system is provided for a vehicle having: a rear camera generating a rearward video stream, a right-side camera generating a right-side stream, and a left-side camera generating a left-side stream. The system includes a processing circuit for generating a composite video stream from: (a) the rearward stream and the right-side stream, (b) the rearward stream and the left-side stream, and (c) at least the rearward stream. When the composite stream is formed from the rearward stream and the right-side stream, the rearward stream extends across the whole composite stream with the exception of a right corner where the right-side stream is superimposed over the rearward stream. When the composite stream is formed from the rearward stream and the left-side stream, the rearward stream extends across the whole composite stream with the exception of a left corner where the left-side stream is superimposed over the rearward stream.

A rear vision system for a vehicle includes a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view rearward of the vehicle, a rearview mirror including a display substrate thereon, and an image sensor directed toward an interior of the vehicle and configured to capture image data of an object. The system further includes a controller in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the first size corresponding with the field of view, with the image sensor to determine a position of the object within the image data, and with the display substrate to present a portion of the first video image thereon of a size less than the first size. The portion of the first video image is selected to correspond with an expected portion of the field of view based on the determined position of the object.

When a first object is first detected during a second display process executed when a second object is detected, a vehicle display control apparatus of the invention starts a first display at a first detection of the first object, stop the first display at a termination of the second display process and start the first display process at a start of the next second display process.

A vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus includes a camera, an electronic control unit and a display unit configured to display the display image. The ECU is configured to generate a display image of an external environment based on image information from the camera such that the display image includes a first display image from a first predetermined viewpoint from which one of right and left side surfaces of a host vehicle and a rear portion or a front portion of the host vehicle are obliquely seen from above. The ECU is configured to generate and output the display image including the first display image in at least any one of a predetermined first traveling status of the host vehicle, a predetermined periphery status of the area on either side of the host vehicle, and a state in which a turn signal lever is manipulated.

A rear view display system and method for a motor vehicle is having a rearview mirror providing an exterior rear view of the motor vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a camera located at a rear of the motor vehicle, a display within an interior of the motor vehicle, a sensor for detecting an obstruction obstructing the exterior rear view of the motor vehicle, and a control circuit adapted to send a video feed from the camera to the display when the obstruction is detected. The method includes the steps of detecting an obstruction obstructing the exterior rear view of the motor vehicle, and sending a video feed from the camera to the display when the obstruction is detected.

A method and a device are for detecting and reproducing a lateral and/or rear surrounding area of a vehicle with a trailer, so that the driver can monitor the surrounding area. The surrounding area is detected by at least one image capturing device which produces image data of the surrounding area. The image data is reproduced by at least one image reproducing device arranged in a field of vision of the vehicle driver. A characteristic of the reproduced image section is adapted dependent on an alignment of the trailer relative to the vehicle.

An audio/visual control apparatus includes a plurality of displays. A reverse driving camera application may be launched to display a camera image dedicated to reverse driving in a situation where another camera application is already running and causing a particular image to be displayed on a subject display of the displays. Such case causes an on-screen image displayed on the subject display to be switched from the particular image to a reverse driving image generated by the reverse driving camera application, regardless of normal display switching priorities.

A vehicle display displays a camera video having an indicator. The indicator is static on the display while the camera video is frozen on the display thereby notifying a viewer that the camera video is frozen and the indicator is dynamic on the display while the camera video is live on the display.
