A parking assist system includes a control device configured to control screen display of a display device, to set the parking position candidate selected by an occupant as a target parking position, and to control an autonomous parking operation to autonomously move the vehicle to the target parking position. When multiple parking position candidates partially overlapping with each other are detected by a parking position candidate detector, the control device causes the display device to display the multiple parking position candidates so as to partially overlap with each other and to be selectable.

A method includes detecting a direction of view of at least one passenger as an occupant of the motor vehicle; and providing a display with information about at least one object in a landscape of the motor vehicle viewed by the at least one passenger, the at least one object not being relevant to road traffic, such that said information is provided in an area in the direction of view of the at least one passenger, wherein, when multiple passengers of the motor vehicle are detected, a direction of view of each passenger is detected, such that a display with information about the at least one object in the landscape of the motor vehicle viewed by at least two passengers is provided in an area in which the direction of view of the at least two passengers intersect.

A system for controlling a vehicle display based on an occupant's gaze includes: a first occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of a first occupant in a vehicle; a second occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of a second occupant in the vehicle; an interest information display area crossover confirmation and priority determination unit to determine interest information from the gaze of the first occupant and the gaze of the second occupant, to confirm whether areas for displaying interest information on a windshield are mutually crossover with each other, and to determine a priority for display; and a display control unit to control a display in accordance with the priority for display.

Disclosed is a system for controlling a vehicle display. The system includes a vehicle display, processors that recognize behavioral information related to an occupant in a vehicle viewing a display screen of the vehicle display, and a display controller that controls the vehicle display using the behavior information related to viewing the display screen. The display controller analyzes the behavior information related to viewing the display screen, determines when a gaze of the occupant deviates from an area of the display screen, and controls the vehicle display based on the gaze.

Systems and methods for enhancing in-cabin sleeping experience within a vehicle are provided. The method includes determining whether a first occupant, e.g., a passenger, within the vehicle is asleep based on data captured of an interior of the vehicle, e.g., via one or more cameras within the vehicle. The method further includes informing a second occupant, e.g., a driver, within the vehicle that the first occupant is asleep, and adjusting an interior cabin parameter to accommodate the first occupant. The method further may include adjusting the interior cabin parameter to wake up the first occupant when the vehicle is a predetermined time or distance from a target destination. Moreover, the method may include classifying the first occupant such that the inter cabin parameter is adjusted to accommodate the first occupant based on the classification of the first occupant.

In an embodiment a vehicle system includes a driver terminal installed at a driver seat of a vehicle, a fellow passenger terminal installed at a non-driver seat of the vehicle and a processor configured to control the driver terminal to execute a navigation program for providing travel route information for a first destination by the driver terminal when destination information of the first destination is received through the driver terminal or the fellow passenger terminal, wherein the travel route information includes a map for displaying a shortest travel route to the first destination from a real-time position of the vehicle.

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.

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 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.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for a monitoring system are disclosed. The monitoring system includes a memory configured to store image data and a first camera configured to capture first image data including the activity of a passenger within the vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to obtain, from the first camera, the first image data including the passenger, determine an activity of the passenger based on the first image data, and determine that the activity of the passenger will be different than a baseline activity of the passenger. The electronic control unit is configured to record and capture, in the memory and using the camera, the first image data for a time period before and after the determination that the activity of the passenger will be different than the baseline activity.
