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.

Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for configuring an infotainment display in an automobile to operate as a backup display to an electronic instrument cluster of the automobile in the event of a failure in the electronic instrument cluster. For example, if the electronic instrument cluster turns blank as a result of a failed component or a faulty power supply, at least some of the graphics that were displayed on the electronic instrument cluster are automatically displayed on the infotainment display. The graphics displayed on the infotainment display can include, for example, a speedometer graphic that is dynamically updated in a real-time mode of operation to indicate a speed at which the automobile is moving. The speedometer graphic on the infotainment display substantially replicates the speedometer graphic that was displayed on the electronic instrument cluster prior to the occurrence of the fault.

A system as described herein includes an interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to determine if a user interaction with an interaction area of a first graphical user interface presented by a first display device corresponds to a selection input. Responsive to determining that user interaction does not correspond to the selection input, the one or more processors are configured to generate information to cause a second display device different than the first display device to present a second graphical user interface comprising at least a portion of the first graphical user interface that includes the interaction area within the first graphical user interface.

Techniques are described for remotely controlling functions of a vehicle without an integrated touchscreen. According to an embodiment, an auxiliary device is provided comprising a display and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in at least one memory. 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.

The present disclosure relates to an input/output device mounted on a vehicle having a plurality of displays, and the input/output device may include a touch panel configured to sense a touch input, a haptic module configured to generate a tactile effect on the touch panel, a communication unit configured to perform communication with any one of the displays, and a processor configured to set one or more feedback regions on the touch panel based on a screen being displayed on the display, and control the haptic module to generate a tactile effect when a touch is applied to the one or more feedback regions, wherein the one or more feedback regions vary according to the screen being displayed on the display.

An electronic device attachable to a vehicle may include an interface, an input device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, and a processor configured to detect that a context related to the vehicle corresponds to a first context based on first information received via the interface, in response to the detection that the context related to the vehicle corresponds to the first context, display a first indication indicating a first function corresponding to the first context from among a plurality of functions of the vehicle, which are controllable by the input device, while displaying the first indication, detect that the context related to the vehicle changed from the first context to a second context based on second information received via the interface, and based on the detection, display a second indication which is changed from the first indication and indicates a second function corresponding to the second context.

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.
