The computer executable component can comprise a feature acquisition component that determines electronic features of the vehicle that are respectively controlled by electromechanical controls of the vehicle, and a display component that displays a graphical user interface via the display wherein the graphical user interface comprises one or more graphical controls for controlling one or more features of the electronic features of the vehicle. The computer executable components further comprising a remote-control component that remotely controls the one or more features via interaction with the one or more graphical controls as rendered via the display.

Techniques are described that facilitate remotely interfacing with a vehicle touchscreen. According to an embodiment, a method is provided comprising determining touch controls included in a GUI configured for displaying on a touchscreen of the vehicle, wherein the touch controls provide for controlling functions of the vehicle based on first interaction with the touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen. The method further comprises generating a representation of the GUI for display via an auxiliary display of the auxiliary device, the representation comprising one or more graphical controls corresponding to one or more touch controls of the touch controls, and enabling remote control of one or more functions of the functions of the vehicle by the auxiliary device based on second interaction with the one or more graphical controls as displayed via the auxiliary display.

A display device includes a first display configured to display information, a second display configured to display information, a display controller configured to determine the content of information to be displayed on each of the first and second displays and to display the determined information on each of the first and second displays, a first receiver configured receive an operation of a user; and a second receiver configured receive an operation of a user, wherein the display controller is configured to display predetermined information across the first and second displays in a case where the first receiver receives a predetermined operation, and the display controller is configured to display the predetermined information on the second display in a case where the second receiver receives the predetermined operation.

A display system in a vehicle, including: one or more displays; at least one sensor determining a user's line of sight; a controller determining an active zone and a non-active zone of the one or more displays based on the user's line of sight. The one or more displays are configured to operate the active zone at an enhanced level as compared to the non-active zone. There is further provided a controller configured to rank content displayed on one or more displays in a vehicle according to an attention score determined by at least one sensor configured to measure gaze of a user based on the user's line of sight; and a display system including the controller. One of the displays is selected to display the highest ranked content. There is also provided a method of operating one or more displays in a vehicle using the disclosed display systems.

A vehicle display control device includes a first image acquisition unit that acquires a first image by a first camera unit, a second image acquisition unit that acquires a second image by a second camera unit, a bird's-eye view image generation unit that generates a bird's-eye view image where a virtual vehicle image is synthesized at a center thereof based on the second image, a detection unit that performs an object recognition processing on the first image to detect a warning object, a direction calculation unit that calculates a direction of the warning object from the virtual vehicle image on a position of the warning object, and a display controller that displays the first image on a first monitor, and the bird's-eye view image and the direction of the warning object therein on a second monitor based on a position of the first camera unit in the vehicle image.

A vehicle display device includes a first display section disposed at a vehicle front side of a steering wheel; a second display section disposed in the vicinity of the first display section at a vehicle left side of the first display section, the second display section being oriented toward a driving seat; and a third display section disposed in the vicinity of the first display section at a vehicle right side of the first display section, the third display section being oriented toward the driving seat.

A display apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a display surface. A piece of information is displayed on the display surface. In order to offer an optimum display and detectability of the information in different situations, the display surface is arranged on a movably mounted closure device of the motor vehicle and a display of the information is controlled subject to a degree of opening of the closure device detected by using a position sensor of the motor vehicle.
