Also disclosed is an associated apparatus.

A window member includes a transparent substrate, wherein in plan view of the window member, the transparent substrate itself includes a first region, and a second region having higher radio-wave transmissivity than the first region. The transparent substrate may include a first glass sheet, and a second glass sheet which is laminated to the first glass sheet via an intermediate film.

An aftermarket vehicle head unit integration cartridge for use with an aftermarket head unit is provided. The aftermarket head unit preferably includes a dedicated slot for insertion of the cartridge. The cartridge preferably supports communication between a plurality of electronic components in the aftermarket head unit and a plurality of electronic components in the vehicle. The plurality of electronic components in the aftermarket head unit may include, for example, an audio processing system, a video processing system, an analog I/O and/or a digital I/O. and/or a plurality of electronic components. The plurality of electronic components in the vehicle may include an audio system, an analog I/O, a digital I/O/databus, and/or a steering wheel control unit. The cartridge may include a flashable memory for use in reconfiguring the cartridge. The cartridge may be configured to capture and condition the signals from at least one of the plurality of the vehicle-based electronic components. The conditioned signals from the vehicle-based electronic components may be conditioned for use by the aftermarket head unit.

An auxiliary terminal-control apparatus, where the apparatus includes a back plate sticker, a control key embedded into the back plate sticker, a communications module, and a control module. The control module is configured to recognize a target operation on the control key, and generate, based on the target operation, a corresponding target operation instruction, where the control key includes a roll ball and/or a key, operations on the roll ball include a roll operation and a press operation, and an operation on the key includes a press operation; and the communications module is configured to establish a communication connection to a terminal device to send the target operation instruction to the terminal device, where the target operation instruction is used to operate an application program on the terminal device or trigger a service.

A virtual image display device according to an embodiment is a virtual image display device that displays information to a passenger on a vehicle. The virtual image display device includes a first virtual image display unit that displays a virtual image as information. The first virtual image display unit has a virtual image display portion that displays a virtual image and a rotating unit that rotates the virtual image display portion in a range in which the virtual image is visually recognizable by the passenger.

The vehicular display device includes: a touchscreen disposed substantially at a center position in a vehicle width direction in front of a cockpit of a vehicle; a reception section at least partially provided to the touchscreen and configured to receive operation input from a user; and a display control section configured to display, on a display screen of the touchscreen, a first screen corresponding to a first function and a second screen corresponding to a second function such that the first screen and the second screen are arrayed in a left-right direction, the display control section being configured to perform, in accordance with a predetermined first instruction operation received by the reception section, switching control in which a display position of the first screen and a display position of at least a part of display content on the second screen are switched in the display screen.

A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium that receive a first audio signal generated by a first microphone of a plurality of microphones having a sound inlet, detect an acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal, the detected acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal resulting from a tactile interaction proximate the sound inlet of the first microphone, determine whether the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to a pre-defined acoustic signature, and generate, based upon determining that the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to the pre-defined acoustic signature, a control signal corresponding to the pre-defined acoustic signature, the generated control signal controlling one or more of a plurality of speakers of an in-vehicle communication system.
