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.

An alert system for a vehicle includes a tracking device, lighting system, control module, and sensor that can detect hazards. The tracking device can detect a driver's line-of-sight. The lighting system can be disposed about the vehicle and can emit light visible to the driver. The control module can determine a location of the hazard relative to the line-of-sight, and to operate the lighting system in a first mode in response to the hazard being outside of an angular threshold of the line-of-sight, and a second mode in response to the hazard being within the angular threshold. When in the first mode, a first region of the lighting system that corresponds to a general direction of the hazard can be illuminated. When in the second mode, a second region of the lighting system that corresponds to a specific location of the hazard is illuminated.

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.

The invention relates to a method for depicting a virtual element in a display area of at least one display apparatus of a vehicle. Virtual elements that lie outside of the display area of a display apparatus are perceptible by the driver with a certain estimation of distance, or respectively direction, in that a driver of the vehicle is signaled when the determined three-dimensional coordinates of the at least one virtual element lie outside of the display area of the display apparatus.

A snow groomer with touch screen controls for tensioning tracks, suspension, drive unit, accessories and other, comprising: a plurality of tracks; at least one accessory device selected in a group comprising a shovel or blade, a tiller assembly and a winch assembly; and a user interface comprising a display and a selector device for receiving commands from an operator, preferably the selector device is a device that detects a touch of an operator on the display; a control unit coupled to the user interface, in particular to the display, for sending images to be displayed to the display and receiving commands from the display which are related to the touches detected; wherein the control unit is configured to display on the display a main screen divided into a plurality of main screen portions, wherein the plurality of main screen portions are displayed together in the main screen and each in a different position in the main screen; wherein each main screen portion is configured to display an image that illustrates one or more pieces of data and/or information correlated to the tracked vehicle; the control unit is configured to detect one or more selections made by an operator, preferably on the display by means of a touch, corresponding to the type(s) of data or information that are required to be displayed in each portion of the display, and to display a main screen portion in each portion of the display, wherein each main screen portion is configured to illustrate a respective image relating to the data or information selected by the operator for said portion of the display.

An operator control device for controlling vehicle functions in a transportation vehicle, a system, and a corresponding method. Provided are operator control elements on a steering wheel and a display indicator to be used for controlling vehicle functions. Operator control zones/regions with which functions are selected and controlled are located on the left and the right of the steering wheel in a position that is ergonomically easily reached by the driver's thumbs. The contexts/functions to be controlled in each case are depicted in the display element in the driver's line of sight here, so that diversion of the driver's eyes is minimized. The operator control elements are of a symmetrical design.

A method of displaying a rear-view image and a digital dashboard using the method are provided. The method includes: receiving a rear-view image; and displaying the rear-view image on a default area of a display in response to receiving a signal associated with a direction indicator light, wherein the default area corresponds to the direction indicator light.

A method for increasing safety during the operation of a device. Multiple widgets are displayed on a graphical user interface. Each widget is assigned an operating function of the device; each operating function is selectable by selecting the corresponding widget via an input gesture of a user. Data relating to a current situation is detected, and it is determined whether increased attention is required in the current situation based on the data. If increased attention is required, the widgets are arranged such that each widget is assigned a simple input gesture which differs greatly from input gestures assigned to other displayed widgets in order to increase safety during the operation of the device.

To provide a vehicle information transmitting device capable of transmitting information associated with danger at a periphery of the own vehicle in a manner intuitively understandable by the driver. In the present embodiment, when a dangerous direction is the left or the right, a display position of an own vehicle state display figure is changed from a display position in an initial state to a display position on the same side as the dangerous direction. If the dangerous direction is on the front, the display position of the own vehicle state display figure is changed from the display position in the initial state to a display position on an upper side. When a dangerous target is detected, a display area of the own vehicle state display figure is changed to a display area greater than the display area in the initial state.

A vehicle display system may include an interface that presents selectable icons. The system also includes a controller that receives vehicle condition data, assigns a relevancy level to at least one of the icons associated with a vehicle feature based on the data, and selects a display form for the at least one of the icons based on the relevancy level.
