Information can be displayed on display devices according to information to be notified. An information processing system 1 includes a navigation device 3, a mobile terminal 5, and a control server 7, wherein the navigation device 3 is connected to a head-up display 4 that can be visually recognized by a driver and includes a display panel 33a that can be visually recognized by the driver and a passenger other than the driver, the mobile terminal 5 transmits notification information to the navigation device 3 and transmits notification related information regarding the notification information to the control server 7, the control server 7 determines a display device that displays information based on the notification information in the navigation device 3 based on the notification related information received from the mobile terminal 5 and transmits display location information indicating the determined display device to the navigation device 3, and the navigation device 3 displays the information based on the notification information on the display device indicated by the received display location information.

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.

Embodiments are disclosed for systems for a vehicle. An example system for a vehicle includes a head-up display and a circuit, which is connected to the head-up display, wherein the head-up display is configured to project an image onto a front windshield of the vehicle or onto a separate combiner, wherein the circuit is configured to output image data to the head-up display, whereby the image data have a set of objects which include messages for the user, to determine a user's workload level, based on a set of driving conditions, to switch between at least one first workload mode and a second workload mode based on the level, whereby the second workload mode is assigned a higher level than the first workload mode, and in the second workload mode to reduce at least one object, which is output in the first workload mode.

A method for controlling a display device in a motor vehicle includes detecting a person's body posture using sensors that generate corresponding sensor values, and determining, based on the detected sensor values, whether the person is in a normotonic posture. The method also includes determining a distance between the person's eyes and the display device if the person is determined to be in a normotonic posture, and adjusting predetermined display parameters on the display device based on the distance of the person's eyes from the display device.

To provide an electronic apparatus capable of easily and accurately performing an operation of changing a display. A navigation system displays standard map information in small scale on a liquid crystal display device, and displays status information on movement speed of a vehicle or guidance information on distance and direction to a cross point to turn next on a head-up display device. Only while a contact of a contact body on a surface of a touchpad continues to be detected, first scaled-up map information as the scaled-up standard map information continues to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device instead of the standard map information.

An operation apparatus includes a touch operation surface configured to move in up and down directions, with a sensor for outputting a signal representing a touch of a finger thereon, and with an outer frame element or a dead zone; a downward movement detection part that outputs a signal representing a movement of the touch operation surface in the down direction; and a control device that executes, when the movement of the touch operation surface in the down direction is detected while the touch of the finger on the touch operation surface is not detected, at least one of scrolling lists in an image area or the image area itself displayed in a display that is located remotely with respect to the touch operation surface, changing the image area displayed on the display to another image area, and successively moving a cursor in the image area displayed on the display.
