INFORMATION DISPLAY APPARATUS
In an information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle, an information display apparatus capable of acquiring a lot of pieces of image information while reducing point-of-view motion of a viewer is provided. An information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle includes a first information display apparatus displaying image information of a virtual image by allowing a windshield glass of a vehicle to reflect light, a second information display apparatus acquiring a practical image by scanning the windshield glass with laser light using a MEMS element and a third information display apparatus using an instrument panel of the vehicle.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller comprising at least one processor. The controller is configured to execute: displaying presentation information to be presented to a user of a vehicle at an inside or an outside of a window formed in a vehicle; switching over between displaying and non-displaying of the presentation information displayed at the inside of the window according to an instruction received from the user; and displaying the presentation information at the outside of the window in cases where the vehicle is located in a specific place.
Steering grip light bar systems
Various implementations include a light bar system for a steering wheel of a vehicle that includes a high intensity light source, a light diffusing layer, and an outer lens. For example, in certain implementations, the light diffusing layer is disposed between a plurality of high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an outer lens, and the light diffusing layer causes the light from the LEDs to appear as a continuous stream of light across a length of the lens and provides sufficiently bright lighting to warn or communicate with the driver in various ambient lighting conditions. In certain implementations, the outer lens is colored to blend in with the rest of the steering wheel when the LEDs are not activated.
Vehicle and control method thereof
A vehicle includes: a position-adjustable steering wheel, a position-adjustable driver's seat, a display extending on the dashboard from one side facing the driver's seat to another side in which a center fascia is disposed, at least one image sensor configured to capture a vehicle interior image to obtain the vehicle interior image, a storage configured to store driver's seat positioning information of the driver's seat and steering wheel positioning information of the steering wheel, and a controller configured to obtain eye position information indicating a position of each of eyes of the driver with respect to the steering wheel based on at least one of the driver's seat positioning information or the vehicle interior image, determine a covered area on the display, covered by the steering wheel, based on the eye position information and the steering wheel positioning information, and adjust an output position of an image output on the display based on the covered area.
Display device for vehicle
A display device (100) for a vehicle includes: a plurality of display units (170, 180) which are mounted in the vehicle; an operation unit (110) that is configured to accept an operation of selecting content that is displayed on some or all of the plurality of display units; a determination unit (120) that determines a sitting position of a person who operates the operation unit; and a display control unit (130) that is configured to cause any one of the plurality of display units to display content on the basis of an operation that is accepted by the operation unit and a determination result of the determination unit. In a state in which content is displayed on any one of the plurality of display units, in a case where an operation of performing display of new content is accepted by the operation unit, the display control unit is configured to change a display aspect of the content that is already displayed on the basis of a determination result of the sitting position by the determination unit.
Agricultural vehicle having reconfigurable controls
An agricultural tractor having an auxiliary control station located outside of the tractor cab. The auxiliary control station is used for the actuation of tractor components, e.g. hydraulic cylinders, when an operator is outside of the cab. The auxiliary control station has a user interface which allows the external controls of the auxiliary control station to be reassigned to operate different actuatable elements of the tractor, thereby providing for increased ease-of-use of the tractor when an operator is outside of the cab.
SCREEN FOR A FREE AND A RESTRICTED VIEWING MODE
A screen with a transmissive image generator with pixels which is operable in at least two operating modes, B1 for a free viewing mode and B2 for a restricted viewing mode, and with an illuminating apparatus comprising a backlight that has a planar extension and radiates light in a restricted angular range, a plate-shaped light guide arranged in front of the backlight and provided with outcoupling elements on one of the large surfaces and/or within its volume, the light guide being transparent to at least 70% of the light emitted by the backlight; and light sources arranged laterally at edges of the light guide. In mode B2, the backlight is switched on and the light sources are switched off, and in mode B1 at least the light sources are switched on. In interaction with the transmissive image generator the illuminating apparatus constitutes an advantageous screen permitting the operating modes.
Sound output and text display device for a vehicle
A sound output and text display device for a vehicle, including: an output unit that, in a case in which sound to be output inside the vehicle has been decided, outputs the sound inside the vehicle; and a display unit that displays text corresponding to the sound on a windshield in accordance with a state of use of the vehicle.
Display device
A display device includes a display unit for displaying a moving body speed being a speed of a moving body, a first speed that is arbitrarily settable by a driver, and a second speed that is not arbitrarily settable by the driver. The display unit includes a display having a drawing function, and a frame member disposed to overlap the display. The display includes a display area spanning an inner side and an outer side of the frame member. The display displays the moving body speed and the first speed on the inner side of the frame member, and displays the second speed on the outer side of the frame member.
Driving assistance apparatus for vehicle
A driving assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes an imaging device, an ECU, and a head-up display device. When a position in which a straight line connecting a predetermined position and a position of a particular object intersects with a position estimating plane that is a virtual plane position on the same plane as a virtual display area is defined as a particular object estimation position, an indicator is a motion indicator moving such that a tip end of the indicator approaches the estimation position along a virtual straight line set in the virtual display area with lapse of time, and the ECU is configured to perform control such that a position shift amount of the estimation position shifted from the virtual straight line in a width direction of a vehicle on the position estimating plane is equal to or less than a predetermined value in a predetermined pre-collision time.
