A method for the contactless shifting of visual information includes detecting at least one viewing direction to detect visual information in a first display area, and a movement of a hand and/or a movement of a head of a user toward a second display area. After the detection of the visual information in the first display area, and after the detected motion indicating a shift, the visual information is shown in the second display area upon the completion of the pivoting movement or movements.

Implementations relate to interactions, over a wireless communication modality, between an automated assistant of an automobile computer system, and separate client device(s). In some of those implementations, the client device(s) can be paired with the automobile computer system, and the client device(s) and the automobile computer system can include separate instances of an automated assistant, which can be associated with different user accounts. In some additional or alternative implementations, particular actions to be performed by a local application of a client device can be advanced via user interaction with the automobile automated assistant, despite a counterpart to the local application not being installed directly on automobile computer system. For example, despite an automobile computer system not having a third-party messaging application installed, the automobile automated assistant can access requested actions to be performed by the third-party messaging application in order to further a requested action. The automobile computer system can transmit, via the wireless communication modality, content to cause the third-party application to further the requested action.

A user interface apparatus includes a first user interface configured to display host information; and a second user interface configured to display guest information, and to transmit the guest information to the first user interface if a linking signal for the guest information is received, wherein the first user interface displays the guest information by changing the host information to the guest information. Therefore, by integrating a cluster which is a first user interface with a center fascia which is a second user interface to implement a large area screen, and linking information between the cluster and the center fascia, it is possible to reduce attention dispersion during driving, to improve a driver's recognition rate, and to improve a driver's convenience.

An agent system includes a microphone configured to collect a sound of a vehicle interior, a speaker configured to output a sound to the vehicle interior, a recognizer configured to recognize a meaning of the sound collected, an agent controller configured to generate an agent sound for speaking to an occupant of a vehicle on the basis of the meaning recognized and cause the agent sound to be output to the speaker so that a sound image of the generated agent sound is localized at a prescribed position, and a travel environment acquirer configured to acquire a travel environment of the vehicle, wherein the agent controller causes an aspect in which the sound image of the agent sound is localized to be changed when the travel environment of the vehicle acquired by the travel environment acquirer is changed or is predicted to be changed in the future.

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a sensor that is connected to a plurality of displays, and a processor that is connected to the sensor and the plurality of displays, where, when information indicating that an error occurs in a first display among the plurality of displays is obtained from the sensor, the processor may output first information to be output through the first display through a display having higher priority among remaining displays. Various other embodiments are also possible which are known from the specification.

A display system includes: a first display unit (400) that displays an image indicating a driving assist state of a vehicle which includes an automated driving state; a second display unit (400) that displays an image that resembles a road on which the vehicle travels; and a display control unit (120) that allows the second display unit to display approximately the entire region of a region corresponding to a recommended lane applied to a control unit that performs the automated driving in a predetermined color, and allows a target trajectory generated by the control unit that performs the automated driving to be displayed in a region narrower than the recommended lane.

A method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle, which includes at least two display devices each with a display surface. A visible display content can be shifted here three-dimensionally between two display planes. A detection and evaluation device of an operator control device carries out: acquisition of an operator control action by a touch-sensitive operator control surface, preferably a pulling and/or shifting gesture, and of its extension direction, and, on the basis of the determined extension direction, determination of a data set which describes the display content, as well as determination of a predetermined shift of a virtual image of the display content from one of the display planes to the other of the display planes.

An output processing device includes: an accepter which accepts output requests for information that include parameters concerning priority of output of information and parameters concerning output regions for information; and a mediator which, on accepting output requests for a plurality of items of information, mediates the output regions for the plurality of items of information respectively and the output modes of the plurality of items of information respectively based on the parameters concerning priority and the parameters concerning output regions.

An image processing device according to an aspect of the embodiment includes a display controller and a determining unit. The display controller generates a synthesized image when viewing a perimeter of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint based on an image from an image capturing device and causes a display unit to display the synthesized image. The determining unit determines, in a case where a screen other than a virtual viewpoint screen including the synthesized image is displayed on the display unit, whether a switching condition to a notification screen for notifying an occupant of presence of an obstacle is satisfied when the obstacle is detected by a detector. The display controller causes the display unit to display the notification screen obtained by superimposing a predetermined notification image on the virtual viewpoint screen, when the determining unit determines that the switching condition is satisfied.

A representation of information on a movably mounted display surface is controlled depending on the available space on the display surface. In order to allow an optimal usability of the display surface a portion of the display surface which is hidden from view of a passenger compartment when the display surface moves physically and a remaining, still visible portion of the display surface, are defined. The remaining, still visible portion, defines the available space on the display surface. In addition, depending on the physical movement of the display surface and a consequential accompanying size change of the visible portion, a layout of the representation of the information is changed such that the information is displayed on the visible portion.
