A display processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a setting unit, and a change unit. The acquisition unit acquires notification information. The setting unit sets, for each of a plurality of display screens, notification information to be displayed on a corresponding display screen based on a priority of the notification information. The change unit changes, when changing notification information of one of the plurality of display screens based on a user's operation on a display screen set by the setting unit, notification information to be displayed on another of the plurality of display screens based on a change in the notification information on the one display screen.

A vehicle information display device basically includes an audio unit, a steering switch and a meter unit. The audio unit is installed in a vehicle, and has an operation input unit. The steering switch operates the audio unit. The steering switch is provided to a steering wheel of the vehicle. The meter unit has a meter display for displaying operation specifics information that represents operation specifics conveyed as an instruction to the audio unit by operation of the operation input unit or the steering switch.

According to the disclosure, a method is made available to reduce a time duration for an adaption of eyes of a driver of a motor vehicle when changing from events occurring in front of the motor vehicle to a screen arranged in a driver's compartment of the motor vehicle. In particular, the method according to the disclosure also makes a reduction available in the time period for the adaption of the eyes of the driver in the opposite direction.

A first sensor device detects a viewing direction of a user, who is located in an interior of the motor vehicle, onto a display surface of a motor vehicle. A control unit of the motor vehicle determines a display parameter of a digital image subject to the detected viewing direction, specifying an absolute pictorial configuration of the digital image. The determination of the display parameter is based on the viewing direction of the user onto the absolutely pictorial configuration of the digital image, such that a relative, perspective-related configuration of the digital image is obtained so that the relative, perspective-related configuration corresponds to a target configuration of the digital image. The control unit generates the digital image as a function of the determined display parameter and the digital image is then displayed on the display surface.

In one embodiment, a server receives a request from a first autonomous vehicle for content delivery. In response to the request, a vision analysis is performed on an image obtained from the request to determine three-dimensional (3D) positioning information of the image. A list of content items are identified based on current vehicle information of the first autonomous vehicle in view of a user profile of a user ridding the first autonomous vehicle. A first content item selected from the list of content items is augmented onto the image based on the 3D positioning information of the image, generating an augmented image. The augmented image is transmitted to the first autonomous vehicle, where the augmented image is to be displayed on a display device within the autonomous vehicle in a virtual reality manner.

A method of operating an audio system having first and second sources includes outputting a first audio signal from the first source on first and second speakers. In response to a listener input, the first audio signal and a second audio signal from the second source are output simultaneously on the first and second speakers. The first signal is output from each of the first and second speakers such that the first signal is perceived by a listener to originate from a first direction toward the listener. The second signal is output from each of the first and second speakers such that the second signal is perceived by the listener to originate from a second direction toward the listener. The second direction is offset at least ninety degrees from the first direction.

A system comprising a plurality of camera sensors and a processor. The camera sensors may each be configured to generate a video signal having a view. The processor may be configured to (a) generate an output video signal by selecting one or more of the video signals and (b) present the selected output video signal to a display for viewing. The output video signal may be automatically selected in response to a selection signal. The selection signal may be generated in response to analysis of one or more images in the video signals. The analysis of the one or more images in the video signals may comprise determining an appropriate view for a driver. The processor may remove possible warping present in the video signals.

A processing method for a processing apparatus is disclosed. The processing method causes a computer of the processing apparatus to perform a process. The process includes detecting a position and a sleep state of a passenger inside a vehicle on a basis of information indicating a state of space including seats of the vehicle. The information is obtained from a sensor provided inside the vehicle. The process also includes notifying an operator of the vehicle of the detected position and the detected sleep state of the passenger. Further, the process also includes transmitting, upon detecting an operation, the operation being performed by the operator of the vehicle in response to the notifying, for controlling a device near the detected position of the passenger, a control command corresponding to the operation to the device.

A vehicle control apparatus and a vehicle control method are disclosed. The vehicle control apparatus includes an inputter, a setting module, a determiner, and a controller. The inputter receives at least one collision avoidance operation signal from a collision avoidance device, and receives information about a current object detected by a sensing device. The setting module establishes a collision sensitive region for each driver upon receiving an ON mode signal from among the collision avoidance operation signals. The determiner determines whether the received current object information is present in a range of the established collision sensitive region for each driver. If the current object information is present in the range of the established collision sensitive region for each driver, the controller controls the collision avoidance device to perform a collision avoidance operation at a target time point earlier than a predetermined reference time point.

Systems and methods for generating head-up displays (HUDs) using waveguides incorporating Bragg gratings in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are provided. The term HUD is typically utilized to describe a class of displays that incorporates a transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. HUDs can be incorporated in any of a variety of applications including (but not limited to) vehicular and near-eye applications, such as googles, eyewear, etc. HUDs that utilize planar waveguides that incorporate Bragg gratings in accordance with various embodiments of the invention can achieve significantly larger fields of view and have lower volumetric requirements than HUDs implemented using conventional optical components.
