A control device in a vehicle display system includes: a gazed image display output unit configured to display a normal gazed image in a part of each of main screen areas; a gazed image visual recognition determination unit configured to determine, based on a line-of-sight state, whether an occupant visually recognizes a normal gazed image in one of the main screen areas; and a main screen area selection unit configured to select, based on an input unit, the main screen area corresponding to the normal gazed image determined to be visually recognized by the occupant. Earlier selection display information displayed in an earlier selection main screen area selected earlier by the main screen area selection unit is displayed in a later selection main screen area selected later.

There is provided a method of providing contents for a vehicle passenger, including: detecting, from a vehicle sensor, location information of the passenger, and location information and state information of a display where contents are being reproduced; acquiring, from the vehicle sensor, first data relating to contents being reproduced on the display, based on the detected location information and state information of the display; determining whether a degree of similarity between the first data and contents input into the display is equal to or more than a first threshold value; and changing an area in which the contents are reproduced based on the determined results.

A vehicle display device includes a display configured to show a first screen and a second screen and circuitry configured to control a position of a cursor on the first screen, on the second screen, and between the first and second screens. The circuitry moves the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located in a peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen. The circuitry restricts movement of the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located outside the peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen.

An in-vehicle display system is provided with first display unit, second display unit, vehicle information acquisition unit, and CPU. When a display operation for outputting at least a portion of first content to second display unit with the first content being output to first display unit is performed, CPU selects either of first display unit and second display unit with which to associate an authority to operate the output of at least one of first display unit and second display unit according to at least one signal from among a plurality of signals indicating a type of the first content, an attribute of first display unit, an attribute of second display unit, vehicle information, and a detail of the display operation.

A media stream playing method includes: obtaining a first attribute parameter set when detecting that a first passenger views a first media stream played on a first vehicle-mounted screen, where the first attribute parameter set includes an identity of the first passenger and the first vehicle-mounted screen viewed by the first passenger; and when determining that attention of the first passenger is lost from the first vehicle-mounted screen, if determining, based on a stored second attribute parameter set, that a second vehicle-mounted screen that is viewed by a second passenger is the first vehicle-mounted screen, indicating to continue playing the first media stream on the first vehicle-mounted screen, where the second attribute parameter set includes an identity of the second passenger and the second vehicle-mounted screen.

A driver assistance system for motor vehicles, including at least one sensor for detecting object properties of objects which are located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle; a first interface; an output unit for transmitting the object properties to a user; and a control unit. The sensor transmits the object properties in a form of a first signal to the first interface. The first interface transmits the object properties, received in the form of the first signal, to the control unit in the form of a second signal, the control unit being configured to forward the object properties, received in the form of a second signal, to the output unit and to control the output of the object properties by the output unit.

An information reproduction system for a vehicle having an input device that receives a selection signal and a processor that produces a video or control signal, as a result of which a status bar arranged at an edge of a touch-sensitive display panel of a display device and a display area adjoining the status bar are reproduced on the touch-sensitive display panel by the display device on the basis of the video or control signal device. The selection signal has information about a starting point and an end point of a movement by a user that touches the display panel of the display device without interruption. The processor produces the video or control signal on the basis of the selection signal. The information reproduction system also has an output device that provides the video or control signal for a display device.

The invention 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 invention also relates to a method of controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). One aim is to shift the driver's view back to the road.

In a vehicle image display system, a travel behavior of an own vehicle during automated driving to be subsequently performed is previously noticed to an occupant with display to be recognized intuitively and instantaneously. A vehicle image display system includes a first display device that uses a front windshield as a display screen and a second display device as a monitor device mounted on a dashboard, and displays, on a display screen of each display device, a moving image of a virtual image of the own vehicle travelling on an arrow of a symbol image indicating a travel course for lane change as having the arrow as a trajectory therefor so as to visually provide prior notice of the lane change to the occupant when the own vehicle in the automated driving system is about to perform the lane change as being deviated from a scheduled travel course.

A system for managing multiple independent cockpit displays, comprising: first and second displays configured to receive input and display pages, the pages defined by parameters in a database; and a control system comprising a processor coupled to a memory storing the database, the processor configured to: receive a request to display a first page on the first display; retrieve a flag associated with the first page, the flag being a parameter in the database and indicating whether a page is safe or unsafe for simultaneous display and editing; retrieve group designators associated with the first page and a second page, the group designator being a parameter in the database, the group designator identifying related pages; and control display and editing of pages on the first display based on at least one of: the flag associated with the first page, and the group designators associated with the first and second pages.
