A terminal includes: a storage unit configured to store a plurality of pieces of software, each having a function restriction level and in which a plurality of functions are selectively restricted, and store a plurality of applications; a communication unit configured to receive driving information of a vehicle and external environment information; a control unit configured to identify a function restriction level corresponding to a driving condition of the vehicle based on the received driving information and external environment information, determine software corresponding to the identified function restriction level, and restrict and control a function of at least one application of the plurality of stored applications using the determined software; and an output unit configured to output execution information of the at least one application whose function is restricted and controlled.

A system and method for driver-aware notification that collects and analyzes contextual information about the driving environment to free a device owner from having to decide whether or not to answer an incoming message.

A 3D display apparatus includes: a display including a display panel displaying information and a barrier panel overlapped with a front surface of the display panel; a camera configured to obtain an image of a user; a graphic processor configured to control a barrier of the barrier panel; and a controller configured to recognize a sight line of the user or a face of the user using the image of the user obtained by the camera, to set a fixed focus of the camera in the sight line or the face of the user recognized by the camera, to determine whether an error occurs in the recognition of the sight line or the face of the user by the camera after the fixed focus is set, and to control the graphic processor based on whether the error occurs so as to control the barrier in the recognition of the sight line or the face of the user.

An interactive control device includes a display device, and a method is for operating the interactive control device. The method includes: displaying graphical information on the display device; receiving sensor information; activating a control action if on the basis of the sensor information it is ascertained that a body part of a user is located within an activation region that is spatially defined relative to a display region of a control element on the display device with which the control action is associated; the received sensor information including user information that is evaluated prior to an activation of the control action in order to ascertain a control intention for the at least one control element; and the information represented on the display device being adapted as a function of the ascertained control intention such that the at least one control element is represented in a manner optimized for the activation of the control action associated with the control element. The control device may be arranged as a component of a motor vehicle console so as to be able to implement the control method.

A display system may include a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus. The first display apparatus may include a first image-display surface. The second display apparatus may include a second image-display surface. At least one of the first image-display surface and the second image-display surface may perform at least one of extending and bending in response to at least one of a first condition and a second condition. The first condition may be related to that the second image-display surface moves relative to the first image-display surface. The second condition may be related to that a distance between the first image-display surface and the second image-display surface becomes equal to a predetermined length.

A vehicle display device includes a display that displays a display image in front of a driver of a vehicle, an acquisition unit that acquires a curvature of a curve on a traveling path, and a controller. When the vehicle travels on a curved traveling path, the controller performs display image movement processing of moving, according to the curvature of the curve acquired by the acquisition unit, the display image to the direction side as a direction in which the traveling path curves and displaying the display image. When the vehicle travels on the curved traveling path and when the curvature of the curve acquired by the acquisition unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold, the controller performs, in addition to the display image movement processing, at least one of first display image change processing and second display image change processing.

A method displays supervisory information in the field of view of a driver of a vehicle. The method includes displaying two or more items of supervisory information in an arrangement of adjacent display fields. The method also includes displaying a temporal relationship between the occurrences of the two or more items of supervisory information via positions of the two or more items of supervisory information within the arrangement.

In a vehicle display device, in accordance with a change in a degree of lightness around a vehicle based on illuminance detected by an illuminance sensor that detects illuminance around the vehicle, a brightness adjustment unit makes a response of brightness adjustment of a virtual image to the detected change in illuminance relatively fast when an age of a driver estimated by an age estimation unit is relatively high, and makes a response of the brightness adjustment of the virtual image to the detected change in illuminance relatively slow when the age of the driver is relatively low.

A vehicle seat including a seat that includes a seat cushion and a seat back; an inclination drive portion configured to incline the seat back; and a slide mechanism configured to enable the seat to slide in a vehicle front-rear direction, in which the slide mechanism includes: a slide rail that includes an upper rail and a lower rail and supporting the seat to be able to move in a sliding manner in the front-rear direction, a slide drive portion configured to enable the upper rail to slide with respect to the lower rail, and a mode switching switch configured to enable switching between modes, in a normal mode, a slide range of the seat in the front-rear direction is a slide amount used when the vehicle is driven, in a relaxing mode, a slide amount is at a position where a slide position of the seat in the front-rear direction is rearward, with respect to a slide position at a rearmost end in the normal mode, and the mode switching switch is disposed on a front side where a switch operation is not able to be performed from the slide position of the seat corresponding to a slide amount in the relaxing mode.

A method for reproducing information in a motor vehicle (1), said information being assigned to classes of information and being presented on a display (2, 7), wherein the information is reproduced on a base display (9) arranged at the base of the windshield, Wherein each class of information is assigned a sub-area of the base display (9), and the information is reproduced in the sub-area (18, 19, 20) corresponding to the class of information assigned to the information to be displayed.
