A display processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a setting unit, and a change unit. The acquisition unit acquires notification information. The setting unit sets, for each of a plurality of display screens, notification information to be displayed on a corresponding display screen based on a priority of the notification information. The change unit changes, when changing notification information of one of the plurality of display screens based on a user's operation on a display screen set by the setting unit, notification information to be displayed on another of the plurality of display screens based on a change in the notification information on the one display screen.

Systems and methods for using multiple control displays to control displaying applications on a dashboard screen in a vehicle are described. The applications can be non-driving-critical applications running in an operating system installed on a computing device embedded in the vehicle. The computing device is connected to the dashboard screen, a first control display and a second control display. A controlling application in the operating system can populate the first control display and the second control display with different menus, and display one or more of the non-driving-critical applications in a single display area or multiple display areas depending on user inputs from the first control display and the second control display. In an embodiment, the first control display is positioned within a driving wheel of the vehicle and the second control display is positioned between two front seats in the vehicle.

Systems and methods for outputting to a vehicle dashboard screen from multiple operating systems are described in this disclosure. The systems and methods use a computing device to host different types of applications in the operating systems. A first of the operating systems runs driving-critical applications, and a second of the operating systems can run non-driving-critical applications. The first operating system has direct access to display hardware on the computing device, and can include security features to prevent it from being compromised. Outputs generated by the non-driving-critical applications in the second operating system are sent to the first operating system, where the outputs are combined with outputs from the driving-critical applications, to create a series of composite images for display on the dashboard screen. Either the first operating system or the second operating system can control the whole dashboard screen based on predetermined configurations.

Systems and methods for selecting a control mode to launch an application in a vehicle are described. For one embodiment, a system for selecting control modes for launching applications in a vehicle with a dashboard screen can include a computing device embedded in the vehicle, the computing device connected to the dashboard screen and a control display; and an operating system installed on the computing device, the operating system running a multi-display controller and one or more applications. The multi-display controller is to receive a request from the control display for launching an application, determine a control mode used to launch the application based on an integration level indicator of the application, and launch the application in the determined control mode. A metabar and a global widget can be created on top of the dashboard screen. The metabar is permanently displayed across the dashboard screen, and can contain environmental and driving-related information. The global widget appears contextually in response to a state change of a system component in the vehicle.

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.

A virtual human-machine interface system for a vehicle including at least one projection surface disposed within the vehicle and a corresponding virtual human-machine interface method for a vehicle are provided. The virtual human-machine interface system comprises at least one micro-mirror projection device for projecting an image on the at least one projection surface, at least one sensor for detecting commands given by a user by determining the position of a part of the user's body within the vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the human-machine interface system. The position of the image projected by the at least one projection device within the vehicle may be modified by a specific command given by the user.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing configurations of multiple vehicle displays. For instance, a method may include: obtaining a configurable file for an electronic checklist; generating a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the configurable file; displaying the GUI on one of the multiple vehicle displays; receiving a user input on the GUI; and performing a window configuration setting process based on the user input. The method may also include: in response to the user input being a first user input type in a region associated with a context menu indicator: obtaining a window configuration function and a phase of flight variable; generating a context menu based on the window configuration function and the POF variable; and displaying the context menu on the GUI.

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 operating apparatus includes: a first display; a second display; and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to output a second image onto the second display. The electronic control unit is configured to output a first image onto the first display. The electronic control unit is configured to switch between the first mode and the second mode. In a first mode, a first mode image independent of the second image is output as the first image. In the second mode, a second mode image having the same appearance as the second image is output as the first image. The electronic control unit is configured to execute a first predetermined function in the first mode and a second predetermined function in the second mode.

A vehicle display device includes a first display which is provided at a position where the first display is visually recognizable by a driver and has a touch panel function, a second display which is provided at a position closer to a seat next to the driver than the first display is in a vehicle width direction and has a touch panel function , and a controller configured to set one or more first operation buttons in the first display irrespective of the presence or absence of an occupant in the driver's seat, set one or more second operation buttons in the second display in a case where an occupant is present in the seat next to the driver, and not set the second operation button in the second display in a case where an occupant is not present in the seat next to the driver.
