The invention provides a multiple-view display system and a method for operating the same, wherein a seat sensor is incorporated into the system so that it is possible to get the information whether a user is present or not. Therefore, only one sensor installed on one side of the multiple-view touchscreen for detecting a proximity of the user to the multiple-view touchscreen is enough to identify the touchevent is given by which user, and no extra device is required.

In some examples, a vehicle head unit of a vehicle includes at least one processor; and at least one module operable to: responsive to authenticating a first user at a vehicle head unit of a vehicle, establish a session with a first user identifier, the first user identifier associated with the first user; responsive to authenticating a second user at the vehicle head unit, associate a second user identifier with the session, the second user identifier associated with the second user, wherein the first and second user identifiers are concurrently associated with the session; generate data while the first and second user identifiers are concurrently associated with the session; and store, based on the first user identifier and the second user identifier, the data to both a first user account associated with the first user identifier and a second user account associated with the second user identifier.

A system and method for interaction in a vehicle includes establishing a bi-directional interaction session between a first display and a second display via a communication link, wherein each of the first display and the second display are communicatively coupled to the vehicle and the first display is operated by a first user and the second display is operated by a second user. Upon receiving a first interaction input associated generating a first augmented reality object based on the first interaction input and transmitting via the communication link the first augmented reality object to the second display. Upon receiving a second interaction input, generating a second augmented reality object based upon the second interaction input and transmitting via the communication link the second augmented reality object to the first display.

A mobile machine includes an operator cabin, a user interface inside the operator cabin and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices are configured to identify an operator in the operator cabin, identify the mobile machine, and retrieve a user profile from a remote location, wherein the user profile is associated with the operator and indicates user interface settings specific to the operator and to the mobile machine. The one or more computing devices are further configured to enable the user interface according to the user profile.

A vehicle information indicator and a method of indicating vehicle information using the indicator are disclosed. The indicator is configured such that a driver who wears the indicator is capable of coordinating devices within a vehicle and can give commands to the coordinated devices. The indicator includes a coordinate setting module which designates a space within the vehicle as spatial coordinates, recognizes the distance of a change in line-of-sight of the user based on an eye zone, and designates a desired zone as detailed zone coordinates. A user command module recognizes a body motion pattern of the user and the number of times of the motion, or a direction and distance that the line-of-sight of the user moves, and provides commands to the devices. In addition, a wireless communication module provides wireless communication between the user command module and the vehicle. A battery is configured to supply power to the modules.

In some examples, a vehicle head unit of a vehicle includes at least one processor; and at least one module operable to: responsive to authenticating a first user at a vehicle head unit of a vehicle, establish a session with a first user identifier, the first user identifier associated with the first user; responsive to authenticating a second user at the vehicle head unit, associate a second user identifier with the session, the second user identifier associated with the second user, wherein the first and second user identifiers are concurrently associated with the session; generate data while the first and second user identifiers are concurrently associated with the session; and store, based on the first user identifier and the second user identifier, the data to both a first user account associated with the first user identifier and a second user account associated with the second user identifier.

A flexible display apparatus and an adjusting apparatus which is designed to move the flexible display apparatus from a stowing position into a usage position are included in a display device for a motor vehicle. The adjusting apparatus is designed to bend the flexible display apparatus from the stowing position into the usage position.

In a method for supplying a graphical user interface in a vehicle, at least one object for representing a first subset of total information is graphically displayed on a display area in at least one first display mode. An operating intention of a user is detected. In addition, a relative position of the user with respect to the display area is ascertained. When the operating intention of the user has been detected, the object is transferred into a second display mode, in which the object is displayed perspectively or three-dimensionally pivoted about an axis at a pivoting angle in the direction of the relative position. In addition, a device is adapted for providing a graphical user interface.

A head-up display device projects a display onto a projection area of a vehicle. An adjusting apparatus is coupled to the head-up display device and an operator control device to adjust at least one of the horizontal and vertical positions of the viewing window of the head-up display device in response to an operator control action. A sensing device senses and evaluates a line of vision of a user of the head-up display device. A system control device, coupled to the adjusting apparatus and the sensing device, engages and/or toggles the adjusting apparatus to adjust the horizontal and/or vertical viewing window of the head-up display device of the vehicle, provided that, and so long as, the sensing device recognizes that the user looks in the direction of the projection area.

Equipped with are a presenting unit which presents visible information at such a position that a driver can recognize it visually, an object detection unit which detects an object approaching a self vehicle; and a control unit which controls the presenting unit so that it presents the visible information with a movement of the visible information in a same direction as a left-right component of a direction in which the object is approaching the self vehicle while moving the visible information if the object detection unit detects the object. The control unit controls the presenting unit so that a movement range of the visible information is located on only the left side or the right side, being the same side of the self vehicle as the object is located, of a boundary that defines the left side and the right side for the driver.
