A method for providing a user interface of a transportation vehicle, wherein the user interface has at least one mechanically adjustable controller and a touch display and operates peripheral devices of the transportation vehicle. A user interface of a transportation vehicle for performing the method for operating the at least one mechanically adjustable controller to bring about temporary deactivation of the touch display so that operation of peripheral devices by the touch display is temporarily blocked during the operation of the mechanically adjustable controller.

Systems, apparatus and methods for limiting information on an augmented reality (AR) display based on various speeds of an AR device are presented. Often information forms a distraction when the wearer is driving, running or even walking. Therefore, the described systems, devices and methods aim to limit information displayed on an AR display based on three or more levels movement (e.g., stationary, walking, driving) such that the wearer is less distracted when higher levels of concentration are needed for real world activities.

A method for automatically adjusting vehicle media may include obtaining personal data of a vehicle operator and obtaining contextual data about the vehicle operating. The method may further include generating a distraction-level value that represents a degree to which the vehicle operator may be distracted from the media. The method may further include generating a distraction threshold value. The method may further include determining that the distraction-level value exceeds the distraction threshold value and adjusting the media in response.

The invention relates to the transmission of multimedia data, which is to be output, from a computer device to a vehicle multimedia device. The vehicle multimedia device has a control device which is designed to determine a piece of vehicle status information in order to transmit said information to the computer device. On the basis of the vehicle status information, the computer device generates release data which determines to what extent the multimedia data is to be output. The computer device transmits the multimedia data and the release data to the vehicle multimedia device, which multimedia device outputs, by means of an output device, the maximum multimedia data to the extent defined by the release data.

A display control device is mounted on a vehicle and is configured to control display of information on a display device. The display control device includes an electronic control unit that determines whether there is information to be displayed on the display device, determines whether a predetermined first condition to determine that a driving operation by a user is not required is satisfied, determines whether a predetermined second condition to determine that the driving operation by the user is required is satisfied, controls the display device such that the display device displays the information when it is determined that there is information to be displayed on the display device and that the first condition is satisfied, and controls the display device such that the display device hides the information when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

A vehicle information provision device includes a travel state detection unit, a surroundings situation detection unit, a potential hazard detection unit detecting a potential hazard based on the situation detected by the surroundings situation detection unit, a driver state detection unit detecting the driver state during self-driving of a vehicle; a driver state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the driver is observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings based on the state of the driver detected by the driver state detection unit, and an information control unit that provides information to the driver regarding the potential hazard in a case in which the driver is observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings, and restricts provision of information to the driver in a case in which the driver is not observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings during self-driving of the vehicle.

A system and method for controlling an in-vehicle infotainment system to control content in using a primary display includes a mobile device and the in-vehicle infotainment system in communication with the mobile device. The in-vehicle infotainment system comprises the primary display and a first secondary display. The in-vehicle infotainment system receives a first content selection signal for a first content. The first secondary display displays the first content in response to the first content selection signal. The primary display displays a content identifier corresponding to the first content.

The present systems, devices, and methods generally relate to controlling wearable displays during vehicle operation, and particularly to detecting when a user is operating a vehicle and restricting operation of a wearable display to prevent the user from being distracted. At least one processor of a wearable display system receives user context data from at least one user context sensor, and determines whether the user is operating a vehicle based on the user context data. If the user is operating a vehicle, presentation of at least one user interface is restricted. Unrestricted access can be restored by inputting an unlock input to override the restriction, or by analysis of additional user context data at a later time.

A device for controlling a vehicle display device may include: a processor to determine a vehicle driving condition, and adjust a screen size of the vehicle display device based on the determined vehicle driving condition; and a storage to store information determined by the processor.

A user interface apparatus includes a first user interface configured to display host information; and a second user interface configured to display guest information, and to transmit the guest information to the first user interface if a linking signal for the guest information is received, wherein the first user interface displays the guest information by changing the host information to the guest information. Therefore, by integrating a cluster which is a first user interface with a center fascia which is a second user interface to implement a large area screen, and linking information between the cluster and the center fascia, it is possible to reduce attention dispersion during driving, to improve a driver's recognition rate, and to improve a driver's convenience.
