A system in a vehicle comprising one or more sensors configured to obtain cognitive-load data indicating a cognitive load of an occupant of the vehicle, a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to determine a cognitive load of the occupant utilizing at least the cognitive-load data in response to an initiation of a video conference session, and output on a vehicle display a first user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load exceeds a threshold and a second user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load is below a threshold, wherein the second user interface includes video of the video conference session and the first user interface excludes video of the video conference session.

A display device includes displays and a processor configured to execute a first application program, wherein the first application program causes a first or second display to display a specific screen on which information about a function of an application program is displayed, wherein the first application program causes the second display to display a screen when associated information associated with the function that has been displayed or associated information associated with another function different from the function is input in a state in which the specific screen has been displayed by the second display, and wherein the first application program causes a predetermined display among the plurality of displays to display the screen associated with the associated information when the associated information is input in a state in which the specific screen has not been displayed by any one of the plurality of display.

An in-vehicle performance device is an in-vehicle performance device that performs a game that is played by an occupant in a vehicle, and includes a motion detector configured to detect a motion of the occupant irrelevant to driving the vehicle, a display configured to display an image visually recognizable by the occupant, and a display controller configured to display a response image according to the motion of the occupant on the display on the basis of the motion of the occupant detected by the motion detector, and output a result of a game based on a predetermined rule.

Implementations relate to interactions, over a wireless communication modality, between an automated assistant of an automobile computer system, and separate client device(s). In some of those implementations, the client device(s) can be paired with the automobile computer system, and the client device(s) and the automobile computer system can include separate instances of an automated assistant, which can be associated with different user accounts. In some additional or alternative implementations, particular actions to be performed by a local application of a client device can be advanced via user interaction with the automobile automated assistant, despite a counterpart to the local application not being installed directly on automobile computer system. For example, despite an automobile computer system not having a third-party messaging application installed, the automobile automated assistant can access requested actions to be performed by the third-party messaging application in order to further a requested action. The automobile computer system can transmit, via the wireless communication modality, content to cause the third-party application to further the requested action.

A user interface capable of controlling various functions of a vehicle is disclosed. More particularly, an in-vehicle function control apparatus using a detachable knob and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. A method of controlling a vehicle function using a detachable knob includes an integrated operation unit detecting an attachment position of the detachable knob among a plurality of attachment positions in a vehicle, transmitting information on a result of the operation from the detachable knob to the integrated operation unit when an operation unit provided in the detachable knob is operated, and the integrated operation unit controlling a controlled function corresponding to the attachment position of the detachable knob based on the information on the result. The detachable knob is fixed at any one of the plurality of attachment positions using magnetic force.

A conversation guidance method of a speech recognition system may include managing a user domain based on speech recognition function information and situation information corrected from a system mounted on a vehicle, generating a conversation used for speech recognition based on the user domain, and guiding a user with the generated conversation.

A method for displaying points of interest on a digital map on a display, each point of interest being assigned at least one category and the space in front of the display being segmented into spatial regions where each spatial region is assigned a category. The method includes detecting the position of a hand of a user or part of the hand of the user by sensors, more particularly by cameras, identifying the spatial region in which the position of the hand or the part of the hand lies, identifying the category assigned to the identified spatial region, and displaying or highlighting the points of interest that have been assigned to the identified category.

An indicator instrument for a vehicle includes a rotational indicator that indicates a vehicle state parameter, and a stepper motor that rotates the rotational indicator. The stepper motor includes an output gear, a reduction mechanism, a motor casing housing the output gear and the reduction mechanism. The output gear includes an output shaft rotatable together with the rotational indicator, and a last-stage gear extending radially outward from the output shaft. The reduction mechanism includes a reduction gear engaged with the last-stage gear. The rotational indicator includes a rotational shaft press-fitted to a specified portion of the output shaft in the motor casing. The specified portion is displaced from the last-stage gear in an axial direction of the output shaft.

A method for providing a content by means of a device that includes at least two or more displays comprises displaying a first content on a first display area and displaying a second content on a second display area, the first content including XR content for navigation and the second content including information related with the navigation, and upsizing a size of the first display area and downsizing a size of the second display area in accordance with a user input signal. Also, the first content including XR content for navigation and the second content including information related with the navigation, and a controller upsizing a size of the first display area and downsizing a size of the second display area in accordance with a user input signal.

An electric vehicle (EV) can include a VIC in operable communication with the EV main computer and the EV infotainment system. The VIC can include a processor, a memory in operable communication with the processor, and a computer-readable medium in operable communication with the processor and having software, such as a hypervisor, stored thereon. The VIC can be configured to have internet connectivity.
