The present invention relates to an image output device mounted on a vehicle to implement augmented reality. One or more of an autonomous driving vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention can be linked to an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G services, etc.

A display control ECU includes an information acquisition section and a display control section. The information acquisition section acquires information relating to a peripheral target object that is present ahead of the vehicle and in a subject vehicle lane in which the vehicle is currently traveling, and information relating to an object requiring caution that is present outside of the subject vehicle lane and having implications for control during the autonomous driving. The display control section displays an image of the peripheral target object, regarding which information has been acquired by the information acquisition section on a heads-up display provided inside a cabin of the vehicle, and additionally displays on the heads-up display an image of the object requiring caution in a case in which information relating to the object requiring caution has been acquired by the information acquisition section.

A vehicle control system includes a steering operation element configured to receive a steering operation of a vehicle by a driver, a grip detector configured to detect a gripping state of the steering operation element by the driver of the vehicle, and a display processor configured to cause a display device to display a notification image indicating at least the gripping state. The notification image includes a first graphic deformable based on a circle within an entire image area. The display processor causes the display device to display the notification image including the first graphic deformed to expand a location corresponding to a part where the driver is gripping the steering operation element.

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. t 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-mounted device operation system, includes: an operating part that is located in a vehicle cabin, and configured to be subjected to operation for manually operating a vehicle-mounted device; a sound collector that is located in the vehicle cabin, and configured to collect speech of an occupant; and a processor configured to determine whether a command to the vehicle-mounted device is included in a content of the speech of the occupant collected by the sound collector, activate the vehicle-mounted device according to the command, when the processor determines that the command to the vehicle-mounted device is included in the content of the speech of the occupant, and highlight the operating part for the vehicle-mounted device activated by the processor.

A method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle is provided, wherein an operating state of a lighting apparatus of the ego vehicle is detected, and a driver information display is generated and output. The driver information display comprises a graphic ego object which represents the ego vehicle. In this context, the ego object comprises a rear depiction of the ego vehicle, wherein the ego object is generated depending on the detected operating state.

The disclosure relates to a method for automatic longitudinal control of a motor vehicle and to a corresponding assistance system and a motor vehicle equipped therewith or, alternatively, configured accordingly. In the method, within the scope of user-side setting of a gap for the longitudinal control, a display position for displaying a relevant gap marker by means of a head-up display is determined proceeding from the position of a vehicle in front. In response to a user input for setting a changed new gap, the previous gap marker and the new gap marker are then initially displayed simultaneously by means of the head-up display at the corresponding display positions. When the longitudinal control has achieved the new gap, the head-up display is actuated to only display the new gap marker and not the previous gap marker anymore.

A system for man-machine interaction for a vehicle is disclosed. The proposed system includes an interactive reflected display on a windscreen of the vehicle; an eye tracking module including an eye gaze tracker for tracking eye gaze direction of a user, and a training unit to train the tracking module using a neural network to predict a real-time set of coordinates for eye gaze direction of the user based on a created reference data set of coordinates of the display; a finger tracking module to detect presence of a finger of the user and track movement of the finger; a cursor module configured to, on the basis of a received input, move a cursor on the display to an area of interest on the display; and a wireless switch module operatively coupled to the display for selecting a target in the area of interest on the display.

A device and a method for signaling a successful gesture input by means of a user. A user gesture is sensed and classified by a processing device. In response to the classified gesture, an animation may be generated that visually emphasizes a position that can change linearly at least in certain parts, along an edge of a screen assigned to the gesture input.

A display device includes: a display means that displays a virtual image of a picture by projecting display light representing the picture on a windshield; an identification means that identifies a target outside the vehicle; a control means that causes a first captured image, visually recognized as being superposed on at least a part of the target, to be displayed in the picture; and a vibration detection means that detects the amount of vibration of the vehicle. The control means, when the amount of vibration detected by the vibration detection means exceeds a threshold value, causes a second captured image to be displayed instead of the first captured image. The second captured image is an image of which a color shade difference between pixels configuring an image end and a region outside the image and adjacent to the image end is decreased compared with the first captured image.
