A method for setting a multi remote control in a vehicle includes: a communicator configured to perform wireless communication with a plurality of mobile communication terminals in the vehicle, a storage configured to store information related to the plurality of mobile communication terminals and remote control function setting information of a device in the vehicle, and a controller configured to distinguish between a mobile communication terminal located in a front seat and a mobile communication terminal located in a rear seat based on short-range communication connection strength of each of a plurality of mobile communication terminals inside the vehicle, the controller distributing each of a front seat remote control function and a rear seat remote control function to the distinguished front seat or rear seat mobile communication terminal.

A display device for vehicles includes a display unit installed in front of a driver seat of a vehicle and having a first area and a second area. The first area displays first information used for travel control of the vehicle. The second area is provided at a position farther from the driver seat than the first area and displaying second information other than the first information. The display device further includes a control unit performing, in response to a user's operation, at least one of enlarging a display portion of information displayed on the display unit or adding new information to the display unit; and a determination unit determining, when the display portion of the first information displayed in the first area is enlarged or when new first information is added to the first area, whether or not a size of the enlarged display portion of the first information or a size of the display portion of the new first information to be added is larger than the first area. When the determination unit determines that the size of the enlarged display portion of the first information or the size of the display portion of the new first information to be added is larger than the first area, the control unit reduces the second area, enlarges the first area, and displays the first information whose display portion is enlarged or the new first information in the enlarged first area. When the display portion of the second information displayed in the second area is enlarged or when new second information is added to the second area, the determination unit determines whether or not a size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or a size of the display portion of the new second information to be added is larger than the second area. When the determination unit determines that the size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or the size of the display portion of the new second information to be added is larger than the second area, the control unit maintains the size of the second area and adjusts the size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or the size of the display portion of the new second information to be added to match the size of the second area.

An information display apparatus that displays image information on a vehicle includes a HUD apparatus projecting a large-scale virtual image onto a distant position and serving as a first information display apparatus 100 arranged between a windshield glass 6 of the vehicle and an instrument panel, and effectively displays a plurality of pieces of the image information by making coordination with a second information display apparatus 48 close to the windshield glass 6, the second information display apparatus causing a transparent dispersion sheet in the windshield glass to directly reflect a screen of a large-scale high-resolution image display panel so that the screen is observed by the driver.

A display control device includes: at least one display, among a plurality of displays, that displays a message; storage that stores a first table for displaying the message; and a processing unit that determines, when information about a vehicle is generated and a display is present in an eye-gaze direction of the user that an eye-gaze detector detects, whether to cause the display to display the message, based on the first table and the eye-gaze direction detected, the display being one of the plurality of displays.

In a display control method, if a control system proposes an automatic lane change to a driver of a host-vehicle, an arrow icon for guiding an automatic lane change is displayed on a head-up display, and a display method for the arrow icon is switched depending on a plurality of processes in the control performed by the control system.

A display processing device changes, when notification information on one display screen among multiple display screens provided in a vehicle is changed based on an operation by a driver of the vehicle, notification information to be displayed on another display screen, based on the change of the notification information on the one display screen. When notification information displayed on one display screen among multiple display screens is to be changed to another notification information based on an operation by the driver and when an occupant other than the driver is present in the vehicle and when the another notification information is information associated with the driver, the display processing device restricts the display of the another notification information on the one display screen.

When a driver of a vehicle is not recognized by a driver monitoring camera during autonomous driving, it is determined whether a notification relaxation condition is satisfied based on a driver status and a driving status of the vehicle. When it is determined that the notification relaxation condition is not satisfied, normal notification processing is executed in which an output device notifies the driver in a first manner. When it is determined that the notification relaxation condition is satisfied, relaxation notification processing is executed in which the output device notifies the driver in a second manner that is more relaxed than the first mode.

A user interface apparatus for a vehicle includes a first display, a second display spaced apart from the first display, an input unit configured to receive user input through at least one of the first display or the second display, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to determine a control mode of the first display and the second display, and according to the determined control mode, control the second display based on user input received from the input unit through the first display.

An in-vehicle display system is provided with first display unit, second display unit, vehicle information acquisition unit, and CPU. When a display operation for outputting at least a portion of first content to second display unit with the first content being output to first display unit is performed, CPU selects either of first display unit and second display unit with which to associate an authority to operate the output of at least one of first display unit and second display unit according to at least one signal from among a plurality of signals indicating a type of the first content, an attribute of first display unit, an attribute of second display unit, vehicle information, and a detail of the display operation.

The present invention relates to a display device provided in a vehicle, the display device including a first display configured to output first light forming first time information, a second display configured to output second light forming second visual information, and a light synthesizing unit disposed between the first and second displays and configured to transmit one of the first light and the second light and reflect another one so that the first light and the second light are directed to the same path, and wherein the light synthesizing unit is formed tiltable such that a reference angle formed between the light synthesizing unit and the first display varies.
