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.

One or more motors automatically rotate and position a center console of a vehicle for better viewability and access by a driver. When the driver pushes an activation button or speaks a voice command detected by a microphone, a driver tracking mode is entered. The driver tracking mode may also be automatically enabled upon detecting the lack of a front passenger in the vehicle. The central console moves forward and turns toward the driver's side to achieve an optimal viewing angle of approximately ninety degrees between the driver's face and the console display. The rotated position of the center console allows for easier access to buttons, icons, radio, CD/DVD player, temperature controls, etc. A console camera may be installed on the central console for facial recognition enabling the system to automatically adjust the console position to follow the driver's face for improved readability as the driver changes position over time.

A user interface system for a vehicle includes: at least one display unit provided in the vehicle; a detachable interface apparatus configured to be detachably attached to any one of the at least one display unit provided in the vehicle; at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations that include: in a state in which the detachable interface apparatus is attached to a selected display unit among the at least one display unit of the vehicle, determining a first user menu corresponding to the selected display unit; and displaying, on the selected display unit or on the detachable interface apparatus, the first user menu corresponding to the selected display unit.

A vehicle display processing apparatus includes: a first determination portion that determines whether a vehicle is at a stop; a first display processing portion that displays on a first display device, an operation screen image, the first display device being provided between a driver seat and a front passenger seat; a second display processing portion that displays a screen image relating to the operation screen image, which is displayed on the first display device, on a second display device provided to a driver seat side; and a second determination portion that determines whether a running speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed. The second display device is provided by a head-up display. When the running speed of the vehicle is lower than the predetermined speed, the second display processing portion does not display the screen image on the second display device.

Proposed is system and method for determining a driver's fatigue to promote safe driving by determining the driver's fatigue according to a change in a brain wave of a driver during driving of a vehicle.

Provided are an image processing method and an image processing device. The image processing method includes generating an image based on viewpoint information of a user; rendering the image based on information about what is in front of the user; and outputting the rendered image using an optical element.

A warning control device includes a control device configured to identify a viewing direction of a driver based on a captured image including a face of the driver, detect, based on the viewing direction, distractedness that the driver views a direction different from a front side of a vehicle for a certain period of time or longer, in a case the distractedness of the driver is not detected, accept an operation on an operation member disposed inside the vehicle, and control a display to display an image based on the operation accepted, and in a case the distractedness of the driver is detected, and control the display to display a warning image for warning that the driver is not attentively viewing the front side.

An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an input device including a body configured to be rotatable and pushable and a display disposed on the body; and a processor configured to acquire profile data of a user including preset information for function of the vehicle, control the display to display basic user interface (UI) corresponding to the function of the vehicle based on the acquired profile data of the user, and control a function of the vehicle corresponding to the basic UI in response to receiving an input on the input device.

An information provision device includes an image display to display a for-driver information image to a driver of a mobile object, an interface to obtain at least one of (i) movement information of the mobile object and (ii) position information of the mobile object, and a circuitry to control display of the for-driver information image based on a viewpoint position of the driver that is detected by a viewpoint detector. The circuitry changes a display position of the for-driver information image so as to change a perception distance of the for-driver information image for the driver due to motion parallax based on the at least one of movement information and position information of the mobile object that is obtained.

A method for a display system of a motor vehicle is provided. The motor vehicle comprises one or more seats for occupants of the vehicle, the position and/or orientation of the seats within an interior of the motor vehicle being variable. The method comprises: determining a position and/or orientation of the seats; determining an orientation at least a first portion of an image to be displayed by the display system according to the position and/or orientation of the seats; and displaying the image such that at least the first portion of the image is in the determined orientation. A display system for a motor vehicle is also provided.
