Some embodiments provide a warning prompt control module which adjustably controls the display of warning prompts for vehicle elements in a vehicle, based on a determined profile with which the occupant is associated. An occupant detected in the vehicle interior can be associated with a profile based on a sensor data representation of the occupant correlating with a sensor data representation included in the profile, accessing a profile from a device supporting the occupant, etc. A profile can include interaction history data which indicate historical interactions with warning prompts for a vehicle element. Displaying a warning prompt for a vehicle element can be adjustably controlled based on the interaction history data, included in a profile, which is associated with the vehicle element.

A method for operating a mobile device includes activating a driving management system that is configured to communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), establishing a communication channel between the driving management system and a mobile device, transmitting information associated with the mobile device to the driving management system, and synchronizing operation of the mobile device with the driving management system. A method for communicating information by a driving management system includes determining that a location of a mobile device corresponds to a location of a driver of a vehicle, and disabling data entry to a navigation system by the mobile device. A method for collecting data may include activating a driving management system, receiving driving habit information, determining a location of a mobile device wherein the location is within a predetermined detection zone, receiving identification information from the mobile device, associating the identification information with the driving habit information.

The disclosure includes embodiments for concealing a distracting object. A method according to some embodiments includes analyzing environment data to identify a distracting object that is viewable by a driver, wherein the environment data is generated by a sensor set of a first vehicle and the environment data describes an environment including the first vehicle. The method includes determining a risk value of concealing the distracting object from the driver. The method includes responsive to the risk value failing to meet a threshold value, overlaying a concealing graphic on the distracting object while the first vehicle is being operated.

A head-up display device includes an optical unit that includes a drivable reflecting mirror and adjusts a virtual image display position by driving the mirror, a reduction gear mechanism rotatably including transmission gears, a resilient member that generates restoring force in a direction to engage the gears, and a control unit controlling a rotational position of the stepping motor based on an adjustment command by a vehicle occupant. At least one gear predicted to incur a creep deformation is a specific gear. An environmental temperature of the specific gear where the deformation is predicted is a predicted deformation temperature. A deviation predicted to be caused at the display position by the deformation at the predicted deformation temperature is a predicted display deviation. The control unit corrects the rotational position in a direction to reduce the predicted display deviation when the environmental temperature rises to the predicted deformation temperature or higher.

A head-up display device includes a display element, a movable mirror, one or more first and second mirrors, and an movable unit. The display element emits light to form a display image. The movable mirror first reflects light emitted from the display element. The one or more first and second mirrors reflect light reflected off the movable mirror to project a virtual image. The movable unit adjusts a position of the movable mirror to adjust a projection distance of the virtual image. The movable mirror is disposed at a position such that light incident to the movable mirror is non-parallel to a normal of the movable mirror.

A vehicle display control device, when a steering wheel is at a steering angle position of a neutral position or the vicinity thereof, if a right hand sensor detects gripping of the steering wheel, turns off light sources of memory buttons and operation buttons that can be operated with a right hand, and if a left hand sensor detects the gripping, turns off a light source of air conditioning related buttons and hides touch buttons of a touch panel display that can be operated with a left hand. The vehicle display control device, if the right hand sensor does not detect the gripping, turns on the light sources of the memory buttons and the operation buttons, and if the left hand sensor does not detect the gripping, turns on the light source of the air conditioning related buttons and displays the touch buttons on the touch panel display.

The vehicular display device includes: a touchscreen disposed substantially at a center position in a vehicle width direction in front of a cockpit of a vehicle; a reception section at least partially provided to the touchscreen and configured to receive operation input from a user; and a display control section configured to display, on a display screen of the touchscreen, a first screen corresponding to a first function and a second screen corresponding to a second function such that the first screen and the second screen are arrayed in a left-right direction, the display control section being configured to perform, in accordance with a predetermined first instruction operation received by the reception section, switching control in which a display position of the first screen and a display position of at least a part of display content on the second screen are switched in the display screen.

A vehicle is personalized to perform at least one action (e.g., control of acceleration or navigation of the vehicle) based on configuration data for a user of the vehicle. For example, when a car is rented by a user that is a driver, the car recognizes the driver and sets itself up accordingly. In some cases, an application on a mobile device of a user communicates the settings to the car when the user rents and/or hails the car. In one example, the mobile device may carry preference settings that can be downloaded to a ride-sharing vehicle or a rented vehicle to adjust controls relevant to the role of the driver.

A computer-implemented method for controlling a vehicle interface system in vehicle includes receiving images of a driver from an image capture device and determining a population group based on the images. The method includes identifying a human perception condition of the driver that is characteristic of the population group. The human perception condition limits an ability of the driver to perceive a driving situation of a vehicle operation and a stimulus output that conveys information to the driver in the vehicle about the driving situation of the vehicle operation. The stimulus output is controlled by the vehicle interface system. The method includes modifying the stimulus output into an optimal stimulus output that can be perceived by the driver with the human perception condition, and controlling the vehicle interface system to provide the optimal stimulus output to the driver during the vehicle operation.

The present invention relates to a control stand for controlling a crane, an excavator, a crawler, or a similar construction machine having a seat, a plurality of control element actuable from the seat for inputting control commands, at least one display apparatus for displaying information, and a control unit for generating adjustment signals in dependence on input control commands and/or for providing information to the display apparatus. The invention further relates to a crane having such a control stand that can in particular be configured in the form of a crane operator's cabin. It is proposed in accordance with a first aspect of the invention to configure the control elements and/or the display apparatus of the control stand and various further auxiliary units as individually configurable and to save and to reinvoke personal pre-settings when the control stand or the crane is to be controlled by a certain machine operator. The control stand comprises surrounding, large-area display interfaces and control interfaces and further comfortable input means to be able to carry out and adapt the configurations simply.
