Techniques are described that facilitate remotely interfacing with a vehicle touchscreen. According to an embodiment, a method is provided comprising determining touch controls included in a GUI configured for displaying on a touchscreen of the vehicle, wherein the touch controls provide for controlling functions of the vehicle based on first interaction with the touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen. The method further comprises generating a representation of the GUI for display via an auxiliary display of the auxiliary device, the representation comprising one or more graphical controls corresponding to one or more touch controls of the touch controls, and enabling remote control of one or more functions of the functions of the vehicle by the auxiliary device based on second interaction with the one or more graphical controls as displayed via the auxiliary display.

A system in a vehicle comprising one or more sensors configured to obtain cognitive-load data indicating a cognitive load of an occupant of the vehicle, a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to determine a cognitive load of the occupant utilizing at least the cognitive-load data in response to an initiation of a video conference session, and output on a vehicle display a first user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load exceeds a threshold and a second user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load is below a threshold, wherein the second user interface includes video of the video conference session and the first user interface excludes video of the video conference session.

The information control apparatus optimizes display control based on safety around a vehicle and a driver's level of ease regarding driving. An information control apparatus according to an embodiment includes a vehicle information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a vehicle, a driver information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a driver, and a controller that predicts the safety around the vehicle and the level of ease of the driver regarding driving based on the information related to the vehicle and the information related to the driver. The controller controls display information based on the safety and the level of ease.

A control method for a vehicle-carried display device including a plurality of displays is disclosed. The control method including: acquiring a sequence of visual field images comprising gaze points in real time through gaze tracking; determining whether at least one display of the plurality of displays is focused based on the acquired sequence of visual field images; and controlling the plurality of displays according to a result of the determination.

For automated driving, a driving system can be operated at least in a first automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance. A display device includes a driving mode display with a lighting unit. The driving mode display corresponds to a steering wheel display with a light strip structure for the steering wheel rim that can be lit up. A control device coupled to the display is also provided, for controlling the display. The control device is designed to control the driving mode display such that, upon activation of the first automated driving mode, the lighting unit lights up in a first lighting state with a specific luminous intensity, so as to indicate the activation of the first automated driving mode to the driver. The driving mode display is controlled such that, following the activation of the first automated driving mode, with the first driving mode still active, the lighting unit is operated in a dimmed lighting state as compared to the first lighting state, with a reduced luminous intensity in relation to the luminous intensity of the first lighting state.

The present invention enables recognition of traffic light lamp color in place of or in addition to simply displaying the traffic light lamp color in a color image. A projection unit projects, towards a part subject to projection, display light L that can display an image at a variable display distance. A lamp color information acquisition unit acquires a lamp color of a traffic light which a vehicle will be driving through. A display distance adjustment unit changes the display distance of the image based on the lamp color acquired by an information acquisition unit.

An attribute acquiring unit (12) acquires pieces of area information indicating multiple split areas into which the screen of a display (42) equipped with a touch sensor (22) is split, and attribution information for each of the multiple split areas. An area specifying unit (14) specifies a split area including the position of an operation device (21) detected by a position detecting unit (11) by using the pieces of area information acquired by the attribute acquiring unit (12). An action specifying unit (15) specifies an action corresponding to details of an operation performed on the operation device (21), the details being detected by an operation detail detecting unit (13), by using the attribution information corresponding to the split area specified by the area specifying unit (14), and outputs information indicating the action to an HMI control unit (31).

A vehicle is configured to image, with an outside camera, an identification mark associated with a content provided by a service provider, output the content associated with the imaged identification mark to an occupant in a cabin of the vehicle, acquire operation information on the occupant relating to the output content, and acquire information regarding the occupant when the occupant performs operation relating to the content in the vehicle cabin. An information processing apparatus is configured to, when determining that the output content is not selected by the occupant based on the operation information on the occupant, determine whether or not to update the content that is not selected, based on the information regarding the occupant.

A plurality of displays; a display controller configured to determine each content of information to be displayed by each of the plurality of displays and to display the determined each content of information on each of the plurality of displays; and a receptor configured to receive a selection operation of an occupant, and in a case where an operation of selecting one of a plurality of options in a first mode is received by the receptor in a state where list information including the plurality of options is displayed on a first display included in the plurality of displays, the display controller is configured to display relevant information related to the option selected in the first mode on a second display different from the first display among the plurality of displays.

A meter ECU changes a display color of a meter display item without changing a luminance of a first backlight of a first display and a display color of a first lamp display item, between when an illuminance detected by an optical sensor is higher than a certain threshold value (step S2, step S3) and when the illuminance is lower than the certain threshold value (step S7, step S8).
