MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A CONTROL PANEL MODULE
Arranged between a steering wheel (or more generally, steering handle) and a windshield of a motor vehicle, a control panel module has at least on e operator control element, each arranged on one side of a steering column of the steering wheel. The at least one operator control element is rotatable about an axis of rotation and/or movably at least along a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle with respect, to a driver's seat. An actuator device of the control panel module respectively moves the at least one operator control element response to a control device of the control panel module, depending on at least one enable signal, into an enable position and, depending on at least one position signal, from the enable position into position corresponding in each case the position signal.
Head-up display device
A head-up display device includes an optical unit that includes a drivable reflecting mirror and adjusts a virtual image display position by driving the mirror, a reduction gear mechanism rotatably including transmission gears, a resilient member that generates restoring force in a direction to engage the gears, and a control unit controlling a rotational position of the stepping motor based on an adjustment command by a vehicle occupant. At least one gear predicted to incur a creep deformation is a specific gear. An environmental temperature of the specific gear where the deformation is predicted is a predicted deformation temperature. A deviation predicted to be caused at the display position by the deformation at the predicted deformation temperature is a predicted display deviation. The control unit corrects the rotational position in a direction to reduce the predicted display deviation when the environmental temperature rises to the predicted deformation temperature or higher.
Head-up display device and vehicle
A head-up display device includes a display element, a movable mirror, one or more first and second mirrors, and an movable unit. The display element emits light to form a display image. The movable mirror first reflects light emitted from the display element. The one or more first and second mirrors reflect light reflected off the movable mirror to project a virtual image. The movable unit adjusts a position of the movable mirror to adjust a projection distance of the virtual image. The movable mirror is disposed at a position such that light incident to the movable mirror is non-parallel to a normal of the movable mirror.
VEHICULAR DISPLAY DEVICE
The vehicular display device includes: a touchscreen disposed substantially at a center position in a vehicle width direction in front of a cockpit of a vehicle; a reception section at least partially provided to the touchscreen and configured to receive operation input from a user; and a display control section configured to display, on a display screen of the touchscreen, a first screen corresponding to a first function and a second screen corresponding to a second function such that the first screen and the second screen are arrayed in a left-right direction, the display control section being configured to perform, in accordance with a predetermined first instruction operation received by the reception section, switching control in which a display position of the first screen and a display position of at least a part of display content on the second screen are switched in the display screen.
CONTROL STAND FOR A CRANE, EXCAVATOR, AND THE LIKE
The present invention relates to a control stand for controlling a crane, an excavator, a crawler, or a similar construction machine having a seat, a plurality of control element actuable from the seat for inputting control commands, at least one display apparatus for displaying information, and a control unit for generating adjustment signals in dependence on input control commands and/or for providing information to the display apparatus. The invention further relates to a crane having such a control stand that can in particular be configured in the form of a crane operator's cabin. It is proposed in accordance with a first aspect of the invention to configure the control elements and/or the display apparatus of the control stand and various further auxiliary units as individually configurable and to save and to reinvoke personal pre-settings when the control stand or the crane is to be controlled by a certain machine operator. The control stand comprises surrounding, large-area display interfaces and control interfaces and further comfortable input means to be able to carry out and adapt the configurations simply.
OPERATOR CONTROL DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE BY USING AN OPERATOR CONTROL DEVICE
A touch-sensitive display device and a hand rest which can be adjusted between a first position and a second position are included in an operating device for a motor vehicle. The hand rest is arranged in the area of the display device. A control device activates a first display area of the display device and activates a manual driving mode of the motor vehicle when the hand rest is arranged in the first position. The control device activates a second display area of the display device and an autopilot of the motor vehicle when the hand rest is arranged in the second position.
Operating Device with Eye Tracker Unit and Method for Calibrating an Eye Tracker Unit of an Operating Device
The invention relates to a method for calibrating an eye tracker unit of an operating device, wherein at least one apparatus is controlled by means of the operating device depending on at least one user input and wherein, in the case of the method, at least one graphical element is displayed respectively by a control unit of the operating device in at least one predetermined usage step of the operating device and at least one piece of viewing direction information is determined by means of the eye tracker unit for the user viewing a screen. The invention provides that, from the at least one displayed element, an optically salient element, on which the user must focus with their eyes in order to successfully perform the usage step, is established, and calibration data for the calibration of the eye tracker unit is generated depending on a display position of the optically salient element on the screen and depending on the at least one piece of viewing direction information.
Display system and related 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.
Vehicle-mounted display adjustment device and vehicle
The present disclosure provides a vehicle-mounted display adjustment device and a vehicle, including an adjustment unit and a control unit. Positions of human eyes are detected and located through a detection module in the control unit, and position information of the human eyes is sent to a control module in the control unit. The control module sends a control signal to the adjustment unit according to a gaze direction of the human eyes to drive the adjustment unit to adjust an angle of the vehicle-mounted display.
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.
