A driver assistance system assists a driver of a motor vehicle in driving along a trajectory by displaying the trajectory on a display unit. It is identified that the vehicle is approaching a proximity region of the trajectory starting from an actual position on the basis of the fact that a plurality of different segments of the trajectory intersect, are superimposed and/or approach one another. At least one relevant segment which is relevant for the journey starting from the actual position of the vehicle is determined from the plurality of segments. The relevant segment in the display trajectory is highlighted on the display unit relative to one or more other segments of the plurality of segments.

A vehicle display system includes a display device, a position acquiring unit, and a display controller. The display device is configured to provide a display on a window of a vehicle. The position acquiring unit is configured to acquire a position of a target person present outside the vehicle. The display controller is configured to control the display device to invert the display to be provided for the target person, on the basis of the position of the target person.

A display controller, a display control method, and a recording medium storing a program. The display controller and the display control method include receiving foreground data used to recognize an object existing ahead of a vehicle in a direction of travel, receiving line-of-vision data from which line of vision of a driver of the vehicle is obtained, recognizing a prescribed object in the foreground data, determining whether the recognized prescribed object meets prescribed conditions, determining a range of central vision and a range of peripheral vision in the foreground data, using the line-of-vision data, determining in which one of the range of central vision and the range of peripheral vision the prescribed object that is determined to meet the prescribed conditions exists, and controlling a display of a notification for the prescribed object differently according to a result of the determining. The recording medium executes the above display control method.

Contextual presentation of notifications within a transportation apparatus is disclosed. Driving information related to the driving of the transportation apparatus may be received. In some examples, the driving information includes speed, traffic, road condition, and/or environment condition information. Based on such driving information, a determination may be made with respect to presentation of a notification within the apparatus. For example, the notification may be determined not to be presented based on the driving information. In some examples, the determination may also include determining a format in which the notification will be presented within the transportation apparatus. In some examples, the format may include font size, color, type, blinking frequency, location on a dashboard screen and/or any other format information for presenting the notification within the transportation apparatus.

Provided is an information provision apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus capable of providing information that fits the situation of the vehicle to a user. An information provision apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a vehicle-mounted device which comprises a report means for reporting various kinds of information including vehicle information to a user, and a control means for operating the report means, and is connected to an external device via a connection means. Upon receiving a manipulation input signal indicating that a start switch of the vehicle is turned on, the control means operates the report means in order to report to the user that a communication connection between the vehicle-mounted device and the external device is not established, until the communication connection is established.

The invention relates to a method for displaying driving modes of a vehicle (6). The vehicle (6) can be operated in at least two different driving modes. In the method according to the invention, it is ascertained whether the vehicle (6) is being operated in a first or a second driving mode. In the first driving mode, a first actuator carries out a first action, and in the second driving mode, a second actuator carries out the first action. A first graphical element (7) which represents the first actuator and a second graphical element (8) which represents the second actuator are generated on a display surface (3). Depending on whether the vehicle (6) is in the first or the second driving mode, a first graphical action element (9, 10) which represents the first action is generated with the first (7) and/or second graphical element (8). The invention further relates to a system (1) for displaying driving modes of a vehicle (6).

An information provision device, information provision method, and a non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the information provision method. Each of the information provision device and the information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member to display a for-driver information image indicating for-driver information to be provided to a driver of a mobile object in a prescribed display area, and displaying at a first point where a normal for-driver information image is displayed a priority for-driver information image in place of the normal for-driver information image, where the displaying includes displaying the normal for-driver information image at a second point different from the first point for at least some of a period during which the priority for-driver information image is displayed at the first point.

A vehicular display device includes an image display device that is arranged in front of a driver in a vehicle and configured to display an image. The image displayed in an information display area of the image display device includes an information image displaying information according to a mode selected out of a plurality of modes, and a menu image in which a plurality of titles corresponding to the respective modes are arranged in a lateral direction of the image and for which switching is made between display and hidden-display. When an operating input to switch the modes is made while the menu image is hidden, the image display device displays the menu image, and performs animation display that changes a title displayed as active out of the titles from a title corresponding to a mode before change to a title corresponding to a mode after the change.

A device and method for a predictive human-machine interface are disclosed, in which a vehicular transition event may be detected by monitoring a plurality of sensor data. When the vehicular transition event occurs, a prediction for the vehicle-user input response to the vehicular transition event is formed, and a predictive vehicle-user input response is produced. Based on the predictive vehicle-user input response, display data for emphasizing a subset of a plurality of presented user interface elements is generated to facilitate a vehicle-user input.

A head-up display device includes: a reflection member disposed in front of a driver who drives a vehicle; a projection unit configured to project light toward the reflection member and display a virtual image in a region superimposed on a superimposing display target when viewed by the driver; and an imaging unit configured to take an image of a region in front of the vehicle to generate a front image that is an image of the region in front of the vehicle. The projection unit adjusts a luminance distribution of a virtual image in accordance with a luminance distribution of a region of the superimposing display target in the front image.
