A dial controller for a vehicle comprises: (a) a rotatable dial that is (i) rotatable about an axis of rotation. (ii) linearly movable along a line parallel to the axis of rotation, and (iii) movable along a plane parallel to the axis of rotation: (b) a first sensor operably connected to the rotatable dial, the first sensor producing an output that is a function of rotation of the rotatable dial about the axis of rotation: (c) a second sensor operably connected to the rotatable dial, the second sensor producing an output that is a function of movement of the rotatable dial along the line parallel to the axis of rotation; and (d) a third sensor operably connected to rotatable dial, the third sensor producing an output that is a function of movement of the rotatable dial along the plane parallel to the axis of rotation.

Disclosed are a vehicle in which battery state information, battery history information, and specific state information are displayed on a display, and a control method of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a sensor unit to detect information of a battery, a display, and a controller which determines battery aging information based on an output voltage of the battery, determines battery charging information based on an output current of the battery, the output voltage of the battery, and a temperature of the battery, determines battery history information based on a voltage change of the battery, a current change of the battery, and a temperature change of the battery, and determines a battery state score and a battery history score, to determine whether to display the battery state information and the battery history information on the display.

An instrument panel has an aperture in which a display may be arranged. The instrument panel further comprises a rotatable display mechanism. The mechanism comprising at least three display surfaces supported on a rotatable support. A first display surface comprises a touch sensitive display screen; a second display surface comprises at least one dial or gauge; and a third display surface comprises a trim element. The support is mounted for rotation with respect to a mount and the mount is movable away from and towards the aperture in the instrument panel. In use each display surface may be arranged in the aperture. To change from one display surface to another display surface, the mount is moved away from the instrument panel, the support is rotated and the mount is then moved back towards the instrument panel so as to align another display surface in the aperture.

The present technology relates to a display system, a display device, a display method, and a mobile apparatus capable of improving convenience for an occupant of the mobile apparatus.

The display system includes a first display that extends in a left-right direction in front of a first seat of a mobile apparatus, in which a left end portion of the first display faces diagonally backward right as viewed from the first seat, a center portion of the first display faces backward as viewed from the first seat, and a right end portion of the first display faces diagonally backward left as viewed from the first seat. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an in-vehicle display system.

A head-up display device comprises a cradle assembly and a stand assembly. The cradle assembly is configured to support a portable electronic device having a display. The stand assembly is configured to mount on a dashboard of a vehicle. The cradle assembly includes a platform and a combiner configured to at least partially reflect an output of the display of the portable electronic device. The combiner is pivotally connected to the platform using at least one combiner holder. The stand assembly includes a base and a pivot joint connected to the base and arranged substantially over the upper surface of the base. The stand assembly also has a coupler attached to the pivot joint and configured to releasably connect the cradle assembly with the stand assembly. The lower surface of the base may include a repositionable adhesive layer for coupling to the dashboard.

A vehicle instrument panel module is provided herein. The module includes a display portion including a display. A transition portion is disposed along a bottom section of the display portion. A register portion is disposed below the transition portion and has one or more airflow registers therein. The display portion, the transition portion, and the register portion each have at least one component that is integrally formed with the remaining portions of the module. A first electrical connector housing is formed with the module and configured to mate with a second electrical connector disposed within the vehicle.

A touch-type input device includes a touch panel in which drive electrodes and sensor electrodes are arranged in a grid pattern that provide capacitors. The touch-type input device also includes a controller that determines whether or not there is a touch based on data values that each indicate an amount of change in capacitance of each capacitor from a predetermined reference value. The controller sets the reference value by obtaining a parasitic capacitance of each capacitor when the touch-type input device is activated. When determining from a variation range of the parasitic capacitances of the capacitors that an erroneous reference value has been obtained, the controller re-obtains a parasitic capacitance.

A split center console assembly includes a front end wall, a rear end wall, and first and second opposing side walls, each cooperating to define a storage compartment. The assembly includes a split cover for selectively providing access to the storage compartment. The split cover includes a pivoting driver armrest and a pivoting passenger armrest. Each armrest includes an upper support surface configured to provide arm support when the split center console assembly is in a closed position, a side edge support surface configured to provide an arm support when the split center console assembly is in an open position, and a lower surface. At least one pivot hinge is provided, defining an arm portion extending a distance from a pivot axis and configured to pivotally couple the respective armrest to the storage compartment. In various aspects, each pivot axis is offset a distance from the side walls.

A vehicular input device includes a position detection unit, a display unit, and an ECU. The ECU is configured to set, based on a movement amount of a position of an operative input, a determination threshold of the movement amount of the operative input used in determination of movement to a next object from a current object to be smaller than a determination threshold of the movement amount of the operative input used in determination of movement to a next second object from the next object. The ECU is configured to display a selection image that indicates selected objects on the display unit on the current object.

Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to a vehicle interior system comprising a base having a base surface; and a glass article coupled to the surface, wherein the glass article comprises a first portion comprising a first elastically deformed surface forming a first concave shape with a first radius of curvature from about 20 mm to about 2000 mm, and a second elastically deformed surface directly opposite the first elastically deformed surface that forms a second convex shape, wherein the second elastically deformed surface has a surface compressive stress that is less than a compressive stress at the first elastically deformed surface, and a second portion adjacent the first portion, wherein the second portion is substantially planar portion or curved.
