A method for controlling a display device in a motor vehicle includes detecting a person's body posture using sensors that generate corresponding sensor values, and determining, based on the detected sensor values, whether the person is in a normotonic posture. The method also includes determining a distance between the person's eyes and the display device if the person is determined to be in a normotonic posture, and adjusting predetermined display parameters on the display device based on the distance of the person's eyes from the display device.

An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an input device including a body configured to be rotatable and pushable and a display disposed on the body; and a processor configured to acquire profile data of a user including preset information for function of the vehicle, control the display to display basic user interface (UI) corresponding to the function of the vehicle based on the acquired profile data of the user, and control a function of the vehicle corresponding to the basic UI in response to receiving an input on the input device.

An information providing device is equipped with one or more displays that display notification information, a camera that acquires information of a vehicle occupant, a vehicle occupant detection unit that detects a field of view of the vehicle occupant, a display determination unit that determines whether or not there is a display that lies within the field of view, a display decision unit that makes a decision, on the basis of the determination of the display determination unit, regarding a notification display to allow the notification information to be displayed, and a notification control unit that controls the one or more displays.

A state identification unit identifies an automated driving related state, which is at least one of a traveling state of a vehicle related to an automated driving and a state of a driver of the vehicle. A passenger display control unit controls display on a second display provided to the vehicle and different from a first display exclusive for the driver. The second display is visible to a passenger of the vehicle other than the driver. A passenger request acquisition unit acquires a request from the passenger. The passenger display control unit causes the second display to display a passenger side graphic that indicates the automated driving related state, which is identified by the state identification unit, using at least one of a text and an image.

A display control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a browsing history including a record indicating that vehicle driving information corresponding to each of a plurality of display elements was displayed on the display unit of each of the driver of a vehicle and a manager who manages the driver, an identification unit configured to identify a specific element from among the display elements based on the difference between the number of browses by the driver and the number of browses by the manager that are recorded in the browsing history acquired by the acquisition unit, and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit of at least one of the driver and the manager to display the specific element with the display form of the specific element, identified by the identification unit, made different from the display form of the other display elements.

A center information display system includes a center information display; a capturing device configured to obtain information on an occupant inside a vehicle; a rotating structure configured to adjust a view angle of the center information display; and a control device in communication with the capturing device, being configured to determine whether there is an occupant in a driver seat or a passenger seat, and control the rotating structure to rotate the center information display to a predetermined view angle.

A vehicle and a method are provided for adjusting a position of a display in the vehicle. The vehicle includes a seat, a display, particularly a touch display, a drive and an evaluation unit. The seat is disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and has a base and a backrest, which can be inclined relative to the base and can be transferred at least between a first angle of inclination and a second angle of inclination with respect to the base. The drive is designed to transfer the display between a first position and a second position. The display is disposed in the passenger compartment remote from the backrest. The evaluation unit is designed to determine an angle of inclination of the backrest and to control the drive in order to transfer the display to the first position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the first angle of inclination and to transfer the display to the second position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the second angle of inclination.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for altering the behavior of an electronic personal assistant based on a situation associated with a mobile device. A situation is sensed with a plurality of sensors to generate sensor data. A situation score is calculated based on the sensor data. Behavior of an electronic personal assistant is altered based on the calculated situation score. In one aspect, the situation is a driving situation in which a driver drives a vehicle on a roadway. In such case, a driving situation score is calculated based on the sensor data, and behavior of the electronic personal assistant is altered based on the calculated driving situation score, such as suspending interactions by the electronic personal assistant with the driver to avoid the driver being distracted.

A control device for a vehicle includes a plurality of displays having a first display that is configured to provide vehicle information to a driver of the vehicle, where the vehicle information includes speed information of the vehicle, a sensor configured to obtain eye tracking information of the driver, where the eye tracking information includes a gaze of the driver, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, based on the eye tracking information, a second display of the plurality of displays to which the gaze of the driver is directed, select a first content to be displayed on the first display, where the first content is based on a gazed second content of the second display, and provide the first content to the first display to be displayed.

An object image extraction unit (110) extracts, from a photographed image of ahead of a vehicle, an extracted object image matching an extraction condition among a plurality of object images. A display allocation area specifying unit (130) specifies in the photographed image, an area that does not overlap any extracted object image and that is in contact with any extracted object image, as a display allocation area of guidance information, and identifies an adjacent extracted object image that is in contact with the display allocation area and a tangent of the adjacent extracted object image to the display allocation area. An object space coordinate calculation unit (140) calculates a three-dimensional space coordinate of an object of the adjacent extracted object image, as an object space coordinate. A tangent space coordinate calculation unit (160) calculates, based on the object space coordinate, a three-dimensional space coordinate of the tangent on the assumption that the tangent exists in a three-dimensional space, as the tangent space coordinate. A display area determination unit (170) determines a display area of the guidance information on a windshield, based on the tangent space coordinate and three-dimensional space coordinates of the eye position of a driver and the position of the windshield.
