An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.

A vehicular display system includes a camera that is disposed in a vehicle and that views a hand of a driver of the vehicle. A heads up display system establishes a heads up display viewable by the driver and derived at least in part from image data captured by the camera. The heads up display includes (i) information representative of user actuatable inputs for controlling at least one accessory of the vehicle and (ii) images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand. The images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand are derived at least in part from image data captured by the camera. The images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand are partially transparent so the information representative of the user actuatable inputs are viewable through the images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a display control apparatus (1) for dynamically controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). The display control apparatus (1) comprises a controller (12) having at least one electronic processor (13). The at least one electronic processor (13) is configured to control first and second displays (4, 5). In dependence on a determined gaze direction of the vehicle driver, the at least one electronic processor (13) controls a switching module (16) to cause a first information data set (INF1) displayed on said first display (4) to be displayed on said second display (5). The present disclosure also relates to a method of controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3).

A computer system for an autonomous vehicle is presented. The computer system includes a display system for interfacing with a passenger within the vehicle. The display system is disposed on a window of the autonomous vehicle. A server is disposed in the vehicle. The server is in communication with the display system. The server is operable to activate the display system when an auto-pilot system of the autonomous vehicle is activated.

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 driving assistance apparatus installed in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a left-rearward area and a right-rearward area of the vehicle, a display unit configured to display an image capturing result from the image capturing unit as an image, and a control unit configured to control the driving of the display unit, wherein the control unit causes an icon for communicating predetermined information to a driver to be displayed over the image capturing result, at a position of a corner part corresponding to an upper part on a vehicle body side of the image displayed by the display unit.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a display of a vehicle and an electronic device therefor, the method including acquiring display configuration information related to multiple displays in a vehicle, identifying an access right to access a target display which is at least two of the multiple displays, based on the display configuration information, acquiring first source information, generating second source information to be displayed on the target display, from the first source information based on the access right, and controlling to transmit the second source information to the target display.

A display control device includes a first display control unit that displays an image on a touch panel, a second display control unit that displays an image in a visual field of an operator of the touch panel using a head-up display, and an indicator position recognition unit that recognizes the position of the indicator used for an operation of the touch panel. The first display control unit includes an operation button position control unit that controls a display position of an operation button in the touch panel. The operation button position control unit brings the display position of the operation button close to an indicator when the indicator approaches the touch panel. The second display control unit displays a synthesized image of an image being displayed on the touch panel and an image indicating the position of the indicator in the visual field of the operator.

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.
