A head-up display system includes: a housing embedded in an upper portion of a dashboard of a vehicle; a controller that receives driving information from the vehicle and stores the driving information; a video output unit that is installed inside the housing and receives the driving information from the controller to output and project a plurality of separated videos; and an optical unit that is installed inside the housing and configured to change an optical path of each of the images projected from the video output unit, so that respective images are projected and displayed at different projection distances on a windshield of the vehicle.

When a vehicle stops due to a red light, an image of a scene viewed from a virtual point of view, which moves along a virtual point-of-view moving route, in a virtual line-of-sight direction is displayed on a head-up display. Assuming that a next intersection at which to change lane according to a guidance route is the target intersection, a combination of the virtual point of view and virtual line-of-sight direction is gradually changed from a combination in which a scene is viewed from the point of view of the user in the forward direction of the vehicle to a combination for taking a bird's eye view of a geographic range that includes the current position of the vehicle and then to a combination for taking a bird's eye view of a geographic range that includes the target intersection from a point near the target intersection.

A vehicle may include a display, a sensor configured to detect state information related to a user and the vehicle, a communicator configured to receive travelling information related to the vehicle corresponding to the state information from an external server; and a controller configured to classify drivers having a same tendency as the user on the basis of the travelling information, generate a travel route of the vehicle on the basis of an emotion state of the user and information related to the classified drivers, and display the generated travel route on the display.

Systems and methods are disclosed preventing accidents by altering user interfaces of self-driving vehicles based on movements of passengers in the self-driving vehicles. The system and methods generate for display media content on a user interface for a self-driving vehicle and determine whether a value of movement from a wearable user device of a user within the self-driving vehicle exceeds a threshold value (indicating the maximum value at which the self-driving vehicle removes the media content on the user interface). Responsive to a determination that the value of the movement from the wearable user device exceeds the threshold value, the system and methods remove the media content on the user interface for the self-driving vehicle.

A mobile unit control device is installed in a vehicle and includes a user detector that detects a user located within a first predetermined distance from the vehicle; a sight line detector that detects the direction of the sight line of the user detected by the user detector; and a response controller that performs interest response processing of, when the sight line detector detects that the sight line of the user is directed toward the vehicle, actuating an accessory (e.g., headlights, tail lamps) provided in the vehicle to change in a manner recognizable from outside the vehicle.

A method for operating an operating system which generates and displays a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a first representation with a front side representation of a planar graphical object. An operating action for the graphical object is detected and a transition animation is generated and displayed. Following the transition animation, a second representation with a rear side representation of the graphical object is displayed, the transition animation includes a rotation, shown in perspective, of the graphical object about an axis, and the rear side representation of the graphical object assuming a smaller area than the front side representation. The second representation also includes an information region, and the representation of the graphical object is made smaller during the transition animation. Also disclosed is an operating system having a control unit, a display surface, and a detection unit.

A method comprises obtaining autonomous vehicle sensor data of an autonomous vehicle. One or more autonomous vehicle actions of the autonomous vehicle are predicted based on the autonomous vehicle sensor data. Interactive content is identified from a library of interactive content. The interactive content is adjusted based on the predicted one or more autonomous vehicle actions, and the adjusted interactive content is presented within the autonomous vehicle.

The visibility of the external scene from the inside of the transmissive transparent screen when the video image is not displayed and the visibility of the video image from the outside when the video image is displayed are satisfied. In a video image display system comprising a projection device 100 and a transmissive transparent screen 1 having a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side of the first surface, having a visible light transmittance of at least 5[%], and displaying video images projected from the projection device 100 installed on the first surface side, as video images visible to an observer on the second surface side, the following formula 1 is satisfied:
?1.5?ln(((B/A)/I)?G)?3.9Formula 1 in the formula 1, A is the projection area [m.sup.2] of the projection device 100, B is the luminous flux [lm] projected onto A by the projection device 100, I is the ambient illuminance [lx] at the side of the second surface, and G is the screen gain of the transparent screen 1.

A periphery monitoring apparatus includes: a display processing unit configured to display, on a display, a peripheral image representing a virtual gaze area including a virtual gaze point viewed from a virtual viewpoint in a virtual space in which a situation in a periphery of a vehicle is reflected, based on a captured image acquired by capturing an image of the periphery of the vehicle; and a change processing unit configured to change a viewpoint radius corresponding to a distance between the virtual gaze point and the virtual viewpoint and a viewing angle corresponding to a range of the virtual gaze area viewed from the virtual viewpoint in accordance with a change in a situation on a left side or a right side in a traveling direction of the vehicle.

A display device for a vehicle includes a flexible display configured to be mounted in the vehicle. The display device is configured to extend and retract the flexible display to thereby change a size of a screen area of the flexible display. The display device may include a sensor configured to detect the size of the screen area, and a controller configured to, based on the size of the screen area, control a display state of information output through the flexible display.
