Physical state sharable seat
In a physical state sharable seat, a sensor is configured to acquire a measurement value specific to a physical state of an occupant seated on the seat body; and a controller connected to the sensor and thereby allowed to acquire the measurement value from the sensor is configured to be capable of communicating with other equipment. The controller includes: an evaluation unit configured to compute an evaluation value on the physical state, based on the measurement value; an evaluation value presentation unit configured to present the evaluation value at a terminal to be used by the occupant; a shared data acquisition unit configured to acquire an other-occupant evaluation value that is an evaluation value on a physical state of another person, acquired either by the evaluation unit or from another physical state sharable seat; and a shared data presentation unit configured to present the other-occupant evaluation value at the terminal.
Head-up display device
According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure provides a head-up display device comprising: a housing including a receiving space within; a picture generation unit (PGU) disposed within the housing, for projecting an image related to vehicle driving information; one or more reflection members for reflecting an image projected from the PGU; a fixing member formed to be fixed to a vehicle body; and one or more length adjustment members coupled to the fixing member, for movably supporting the housing.
Accessible display
A system for automatically positioning a display relative to an occupant within a vehicle includes a system controller adapted to identify user preferences for a position of the display, an occupant monitoring system adapted to monitor the occupant, a microphone adapted to receive verbal input from the occupant, the system controller further adapted to determine that the occupant is one of reaching toward the display, or viewing the display, and automatically move the display to a first position that is optimal for facilitating physical interaction, by the occupant, with the display when the system controller determines that the occupant is reaching toward the display, and automatically move the display to a second position that is optimal for allowing the occupant to view the display when the system controller determines that the occupant is viewing the display.
Display system and display device
A display device includes a housing, an electro-optic layer, a display to display at least a portion of a rearward image, and an actuator to switch the electro-optic layer between first and second postures. In the first posture, the display displays the portion of the rearward image. In the second posture, the reflectivity of the incident light varies between at least first and second values based on at least one of a first illuminance or a second illuminance, and the second value is larger than the first value. In the first posture, the reflectivity of the incident light is equal to or more than the second value. The first illuminance indicates brightness around a vehicle and is detected by a sensor. The second illuminance indicates intensity of light emitted on a front surface of the display device and is detected by another sensor.
Display system and vehicle
According to one embodiment, a display system includes an external light sensor, a display panel, a viewing angle control panel including a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules twist-aligned, configured such that a drive voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer is controlled based on an external light intensity detected by the external light sensor, and a polarization axis rotation element disposed between the viewing angle control panel and the display panel. The drive voltage when the external light intensity is less than a threshold value is greater than the drive voltage when the external light intensity is greater or equal to than the threshold value.
Device for controlling motion sickness, which is integrated into a motor vehicle
An anti-kinetosis device for a motor vehicle includes a triaxial accelerometer, a display means, and a control unit. The triaxial accelerometer detects accelerations of the vehicle along three axes emits a corresponding acceleration signal. The display means includes light markers forming a first horizontal plane. The control unit includes an acceleration signal input, a processor, and a memory. The control unit receives the acceleration signals emitted by the accelerometer at the acceleration signal input. The memory stores instructions configured to cause the processor to align the first horizontal plane perpendicular to a gravitation vector by driving the means for displaying light markers and configured to cause the processor to align the first horizontal plane with a physical parameter of a first person seated in the motor vehicle. The first horizontal plane is positioned just beside the first internal surface and just in front of the second internal surface.
METHOD FOR DISPLAYING REARWARD IMAGE OF VEHICLE
A method for displaying a rearward image of a vehicle includes varying reflectivity of an electro-optic layer for incident light to transmit a portion of the incident light and to reflect another portion of the incident light; displaying on a display at least the portion of the rearward image; and switching the electro-optic layer between a first posture and a second posture. When the electro-optic layer is in the first posture, at least the portion of the rearward image is displayed, and when in the second posture, the reflectivity of the electro-optic layer for the incident light varies between at least two values based on at least one of a first illuminance or a second illuminance. The first illuminance indicates brightness around the vehicle and the second illuminance indicates intensity of light emitted on a front surface of the electro-optic layer.
ADJUSTING DEVICE FOR ONBOARD SCREEN, ONBOARD SCREEN ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE
An adjusting device for an onboard screen includes a screen bracket suitable for mounting an onboard screen; a multi-link mechanism, wherein the multi-link mechanism is movably connected to the screen bracket, the multi-link mechanism has an asymmetric structure, and the multi-link mechanism is configured to drive the screen bracket to deflect and translate towards the driver side or to deflect and translate towards the front passenger side.
Ergonomic vehicle cab
A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled to a wheel and having a first portion and a second portion, an energy storage system supported by the chassis, a drive motor coupled to the wheel and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage system and provide rotational mechanical energy to the wheel, a cab supported by the first portion of the chassis, a refuse compartment supported by the second portion of the chassis, a suspension supported by the cab, a seat supported within an interior of the cab, an armrest arranged proximate to the seat and having control console with a joystick, and an armrest adjustment assembly coupled to the armrest and configured to adjust a height of the armrest relative to the seat. The suspension supports the seat and the armrest so that a position of the armrest relative to the seat is maintained.
Content display device for road vehicle and relative road vehicle
A content display device for a road vehicle; the content display device comprising a support element configured to be mounted centrally at a dashboard of the road vehicle; at least one screen, mechanically connected to the support element and configured to be visible to a passenger and/or a driver while driving; a movement system hinged to the support element and hingeble to the dashboard for alternately rotating the screen towards the driver and/or towards the passenger.
